Have had my mini for 3 days... and already did my first mod! Doing a few more things then I'll post some more pics!!! SO EXCITED!!!!

What was you guys 1st mod?!

 

What was your first mod?

 

ya gonna tell us what YOUR first mod was???

Mine was Vmaxx coilovers

 

First mod will be this week, 19mm Alta sway bar, and swapping out winter tires (previously on balding run flats.) for Yokohama S.Drives, and light weight wheels (Konig Rush.)

 

My first mod was swapping out the OEM wheels and tires. Then, I had the DoS CAI and WMW Performance BOV installed.

 

Congrats and welcome. You may find that modding your mini can become a real addiction, along with driving it.
My 1st mod was swapping out the stock antenna for a stubby antenna.

 

My first mod was installing the JCW strut brace bar.

 

what was your mod?

 

Mine is some new wheels and tires!! Still looking to find the right ones.

 

Those are some GREAT mods!! My first one wasn't quite exciting as some... though mine was the same as yours Tmini08! HAHAHA

I am a proud owner of a "Short and Stubby" hahahah That would sound bad if I was a boy huh!

Wheels and tires are next on my list along with some new decor! EXCITED!!

 

Same here, did it the day I brought the car home.

 

GO SHORT AND STUBBY! LOL

 

Grats! I picked up my car Saturday night and so far I've done the following things...

Tint
Remove Bonnet Stripe
Rear Wiper Delete (My car is a weekend only no snow or rain car)

Now for the good stuff. I ordered the following and should be here on Monday!

New Oil Filter
Updated Oil Drain Plug
Aero Grill
Cravenspeed 15% Pulley (pulley tool)
New Bonnet Stripe
Headlight Vinyl
New Serpentine Belt
Iridium Cold Spark Plugs

 

First mod was to remove the turbo silencer and replace it with a piece of stainless pipe(generic exhaust from an auto parts shop) then painted the gas cap with black plasti dip and installed 4 hella 500s up front in a very slight frown formation :P

 

first mod was stubby anternna

 

1st mod was adding the center back-up light like the early models to my '05... Couldn't see a d*mn thing when I was getting out of the garage. Nice and bright now with 3 lights on!

 

im a second owner, the car was already modded with a 17% pulley, CAI, ignition, plugs, wires, clutch, short shifter, ECU tune, and a bunch of other mods but the first thing i did was take the white stripes off and black out all the chrome welcome

 

Congrats the addiction has begun.

 

My first mod was a DDM ram air intake. I lost count around mod #20. Watch out - it's a slippery slope.

 

what is the best tune out of all of your tunes?

 

Honestly, the biggest OMG moment with the AP was after initially installing the stage1+FMIC tune vs. the stock tune. The car really came alive with loads more torque. When I added a downpipe and stepped up to the stage 3 tune, the power and torque certainly jumped even higher but the difference seemed less dramatic than going from stock to stage 1. They offer two different throttle maps, one with the stock settings and one with a more linear throttle in sport mode. With stage 1 I liked the stock throttle better. It's a little twitchy but that's the fun of it. With the stage3 tune, the linear "tps" map makes controlling all the power a little easier.

 

cant wait till the access port updates for the 2011's

 

That is funny.

 

I change winter air for spring air in the tires

 

nice mod
