Welcome to the obsession! I've only added the strut plates to avoid the evil mushrooms so far. I'm too nervous about messing up the warranty....

 

Welcome to NAM, and congrats on your new MINI

 

Congrats fellow MCSA owner!

 

Congratulations! Besides the suspension(rear anti-sway), tire, brake, and wheel mods, The automatic does great with a reduction pulley (17%) and CAI. The engine sits a little higher than the manual and there can be a high pitched whine not related to the supercharger due to the CAI. With those mods a JCW ecu flash from the dealer does great. I recently changed my exhaust and things are less smooth now. I'll probably get a head and cam (for more torque, not hp) before a custom tune.

Good luck with the mods.

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on the new Mini. Let the fun begin!!

 

Welcome. I started off modding my '05 auto by installing a CAI, 15% pulley, and colder plugs. The wheels and runflats came off next replacing them with aftermarket rims and non-runflat tires. Anti-rear sway bar was added, then the catback, ECU tune, ... can't stop sliding down this slippery mod slope. Good luck.

 

Welcome !!! I love my 05 MCSa...and I'm awed by some of the mods mentioned here...all I did was install an i-pod adaptor, armrest, and stubby antenna !!! WooHoo!!!...as they say, Happy Motoring

 

Welcome to NAM. Mod up and happy motoring!
