Hi everyone!
I am a new member from Tucson Arizona. I have owned my r53 for about 2 years. I signed up mainly to get some good advice on my future plans for upgrading my Mini.
This is everything i have done to my r53:

-Alta 15% pulley kit
-Konig Feather 17" rims
-Alta CAI
-One ball exhaust mod
-Evotech ECU upgrade

Thats about it so far. My next one will probably be a rear sway bar.

I'm happy to finally be a member of this forum, it has helped me out a lot in the past!. I will try to attach some pics of my mini.

Hi eddie ,im pedro i got an mcs jcw '03 with cai , bigger ic, msd ignition, beru coolder plugs, im going to put on a 15% pulley an a header, since you allready have the pulley and the ecu upgraded why dont you try the blue inyectors(jcw),that willbe my next step, take care.

 

im sorry i dont know that much but welcome to the forum mate. newbie here too

 

Sounds like a good plan to me. This has me thinking.

 

If you install larger injectors, it would be in your best interest to get a tune. I'd suggest strut tower reinforcing plates and new engine mounts all around if you don't have those yet...next on my list is the plates and after that a BSH lower mount...then I'm thinking a DT bypass valve, then its on to injectors and a tune. Also, welcome! I'll give all the advice I can, but truely, I'm a bit new to the MINI scene as well...I only got my R53 in July, but I've already had the whole thing apart multiple times I just finished tracking down the elusive "clunk" that its had since the day I bought it...turns out some moron didn't torque down the front passenger brake caliper bolts and the caliper had some play in it...
