new to canada, new to sc fwd's

hey guys,

just moved to canada from australia with the gf and we needed a car (that we need to share) to get us around and most importantly be able to carry snowboards and quench our thirst for fun driving. We've had it for 2 weeks at already we have put around 3.5k kms on it lol. the pic below is from a trip up the icefield parkway to jasper.
Our little mini is a 04 MCS, bog stock. However, hahaha somethings need to change(improve). Looking for a CAI, Free flow exhaust(which needs to be lighter than stock) reduction pulley,rear sway and some steering and suspension tuning to improve handling and response as its a little "bubbly" for our taste. We have both come from rather different setups, the gf from a twin turbo jdm mr2 with 300rwhp, and my last car which was a s2k, but prior to that old school rotaries used for hill climbing etc. Looking forward to really getting into the mini scene, simon
