My first real car. A 2006 pepper white MCS. Getting it in a week or so, currently at the dealer getting new speakers after the techs blew them.
I'm a 6'1" tall 18year old male; Getting a lot of crap about a "Cream colored girls car" in the land of muscle cars and slightly modded ricers.
SO I was hoping to order some aftermarket parts to make this little car of mine give people a different point of view about them, without heavy modifications to the asthetics.
I love the car and this week is the hardest week in my life having to wait for it to be fixed. I really hope that I can join a decent Mini club soon aswell to run with other Mini's
Glad to be part of the Mini world.

 

I would say a pulley and a rear sway bar are a great way to start. Up both power and handling.

 

Okay cool. I have a $800 budget after selling my road bike today. So what else can I do for both power and handling?

 

+1 on the 17% pulley and rear sway bar and when current tires wear some Dunlop Star Spec tires. Maybe a CAI, but for real power some headwork and cams.

 

Yeah pulley is a must. But the current tires have less than 50miles on them, CarMax put new ones on.....I was thinking ECU something?
