New Mini owner in Western Wa.

Hey guys and gals, names Matt. I'm a new owner of an 03 MCS. I bought it as a "commuter car" but it's my new little toy. I was an auto mechanic for a little over 10 years before I joined the service. I'm in the Army now, stationed here in Wa. Been deployed to the sandbox a few times so far.

So far, not too much done to the Mini, but I've got a lot of plans. I've installed a short ram intake and a boost gauge. Also done the VGS mod as well. I've got a pioneer h/u, 1500w amp, and a kicker comp 10" in the mail (Thank you taxes). Future plans are new wheels, 17% s/c pulley with colder plugs, Alta i/c air diverter, few suspension upgrades and I'm still up in the air on what exhaust to get for it.

I love to help other people and get helped by others. Knowledge is a powerful thing. It is very worth spreading around to others. I hope that I can get to know some of you in my area, and possibly shed some knowledge and gain some on the way too.
