Hello all,
I'm Evan located in Ventura, CA. I'm 21 and completely absorbed with cars and can appreciate any cool car for what it is. I personally have two Subarus. One is an 09 Sti the other is a 97 Legacy which is being prepped for rally x. I'm a mechanic (though currently entering into an engineering program) and do all my own work. My reason for joining this forum, however, is that my grandpa just picked up an 08 Cooper S as a toy to mess with and wants me to help him "supe-up". From the research I've done thus far my planned mods for him are 15% reduction pully, 1 step colder plugs, intake (mainly just for the sound), exhaust (I'd like to go header back but not sure if the header benefits much), flash the pcm and thats about it. Anyways just wanted to say hello.

Heres the gramps car


Here are links to build threads of my subarus if anyone is interested.
