09' MCS looking for Mini Club in Northern VA/DC Metro

I own a 2009 MCS and want to hopefully find a local (Northern Virginia/DC Metro) Mini Owner's Club. Not too many Mini owner's in WV. We all have trucks and ATV's.

Present mods:
Tuning Tech FS Tune, Milltek Catless DP, AEM CAI, GFB DV+

Coming soon:
New 3M Vinyl Racing Stripes and customer A-Panel Vinyl, Lightweight Intercooler, Hi-Flow Charge Pipe, Turbo Outlet Pipe, shark antenna

Future:
Front splitter, M7 Hood Scoop (If I can find one), New Wing

I am member of central Maryland Minis. Looks like there is a DC mini group. Guessing there is a NoVA one too.

IME most groups have stopped using websites and have transitioned to Facebook Groups .... try searching there.

personally I prefer the website format (searchable and easy to 'read back') but I suspect the cost of the website versus a free FB presence is a significant factor ....

DC Metro Minis is a group

and looks like there is some activity on their web page: www.dcmetrominis.org

Will do thanks. Side question. I'm looking installing an OCC and considering the ECS or the BSH OCC. Your thoughts?

We have a great design but you will have to do your own plumbing per model. The barbs and bracket kits are separate. We have two sizes 6oz and 8oz so you can fit it in smaller places. You can also take ours all the way apart if you like to super clean it. The BSH has a simple design (I remember perforated the same all the way through) and contains the hoses for the exact fit. Both have the dip stick.


ECS Baffled OCC







BSH N14





thanks

I do like the ECS design and the ability to fully clean the catch. I'll figure out how to share this in the right area. I think at a minimum, having an OCC should slow down the buildup on and around my valves (I like to go fast). I just forked out several hundred dollars to do the Walnut Blasting. Send me a link to your site and I will order.
