got our mini lastnight. I love it this thing rips. Would like the rims to be black. Now I just need to join a club and figure out what mod to start with.
I live on the central coast of Cali(SLO) area. Any clubs close?

 

congrats!

 

Congrats & Welcome! I'm a former resident of SF Bay area (Alameda) and was in SLO for the car show one July. Enjoyed it there. There were so many SLO Vettes...there has to be a SLO MINI's...and if there isn't...start one.

 

welcome! beautiful MINI you got there!

 

Welcome, she or he is a beauty.

 

let the modding begin

beautiful mini

 

Not sure where to start. I think exhaust, then pulley.

I want trade my wheels for black ones And tint the windows also.

 

Just beautiful, one of my favorite colors easily! Enjoy your new ride!

 

Aww, it's a cutie! But then, they're all cute as hell!

Congrats on your new car!

this was my mod order:

strut-guard plates : $100 something dollars
then one-ball (resonator delete) : $50 bucks at the muffler shop
then intake (on what brand, it depends on your taste)
then 15% pulley
then ngk jcw colder plugs
then 380cc injectors
then h-sport lowering springs
then i got tuned today
next would be rear-swar bar and then the wheels.

 

pulley is single best mod u will feel the most

 

Nice MCS! If you are interested in the most bang-for-your-buck car mod, Alta Performance has a deal that you can't pass up. Go to this link http://www.altaperformance.com/produ...rmance-Package- and put in the July discount code (JULMAS15) for the tune kit. It reduces the cost to $300! This is a great deal

 

Awesome car, great color, congrats!

 

Indy Blue is a great color, no to many of them with a silver roof from what I have seen(unless its on a checkmate). Its a good combo, and looks great.

As for mods, Realy start with a 15-17% pulley, have te S/C belt replaced when you do it ($30.00 extra) and check the tensioner. After that open up the intake and exahust.

 

yay excellent looking MINI welcome :D

 

Congrats on the new Mini! Hopefully you will enjoy like 99.9% of the people on this forum!

 

Congrats on your new MINI. Good color.

 

Nice, nice, very nice, . Anywhere you start modding is good.

 

What a beauty!! Id put your wheels up on craigslist or here in the marketplace. They are sure to sell! Any specific black wheels in mind?

 

Jarid, what wheels are those?

looks super sexy

clickie on da picture. Konig Feathers

 

Those wheels you have are bad a$$.
I want the same stock ones that I have only in black.

 

Hey would 2 mini's in 1 family be crazy? We just got this one for my wife and I like it so much I am thinking about trading my 06 DC tacoma prerunner in on one. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Plus I could Mod the hell out of mine and she couldn't say anything!

 

Sorry to bust your bubble Minihockey, but you wouldn't be the first miniac family. Take a look at this marriage made in heaven. http://forums.kcminiclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2145

BTW: I personally know this couple. They met at a local Mini meet. She is as much a mini enthusiast as he is, but I'll let you guess who's car gets modded.

 

While black webs do look great, the second most effective mod on a 1st gen mini is losing stock wheels and getting light ones. Stock wheels all range about 23-26lbs, and for 17" wheels, they might as well be made from lead.
For comparison, those Feathers are only about 16 and a half lbs. That kind of unsprung weight loss is equal to about 200-400 lbs depending on the "formula" you use.
