Just wanted to introduce myself

Hey everyone

my name is Chris Decato. I am from Concord, NH. I been on here since i bought my mini, sept 4, 2010, but really havent introduced myself.

2003 Mini Cooper S, electric blue, was a white top but painted top and mirror caps to match blue.

Since 9/4/2010 I have been buying a few things:

Alta CAI
Alta Exhaust (the new one, supposingly Adam says i got the first one out)
Alta 15% pulley
MSD Ignition
Brisk plugs

and these made a significant difference, but today I installed my detroit tuned bypass valve and HOLY SHnikes, completely different car...

So as i begin motoring with all of you, i would like to thank everyone that has helped so far.

future mods (before spring 2011)
2% dampening crank pully
380cc injectors
some type of header
and at the same time as those, and as soon as i can finally get ahold of Jan at RMW i would loooove a tune.

just ordered Bilstein PSS9 and looking for wheels and other suspension goodies

Thanks for listening

Welcome.
Looks like you have been bitten by the very dangerous mod bug. Sorry about that but most of us seem to survive but it can be expensive to conquer (or at least live with).

Welcome to the forum, the more mods the better, right?
