MC on the boat...

Well, my astro blk/white MC is on the boat!
During the wait, I've been researching and shopping and everyone's knowledge here on NAM has been a great help in helping me choose my mods.
It's good to know that there are other people who are as into their MINIs as I am... Thank you!

So here's list of some mods that I'd like to get your feedback on-

K&N typhoon short ram intake (red)
Helix short shifter
Magnacor 8.5mm spark plug wires (red)
MOMO race airleather/alloy shift ****
MOMO stealth wide black pedals w/ footrest
H sport springs (1" drop f&r)
R speed 22mm forged rear sway bar (set on soft)
Borla stainless catback exhaust
Power Slot slotted rotors f&r
Helix stainless brake lines
EBC greenstuff brake pads

Then here are my wheel choices-

HP Racing Evo 18x7.5 darksilver 8 hole
http://www.wheelsnext.com/product.ph...&inum=&large=1

or

Volk Racing Gram Light 57S 17x7.5 silver
http://www.forperformance.com/rays/w...lights57s.html

or

PIAA FR-7 17x7.5 gun metallic (a bit pricey, though)
http://www.rspeed.net/mini/item.asp?...6&prod=405-210


Then after all that, if I still have any money left-

Schrick performance camshaft
Lightened aluminum flywheel
Hi-flow throttle body (58mm)
ECU remap- Jet ECU, or GIAC chip, or Evotech, not sure which to do
MCS fuel tank conversion w/ cap
Alta 4 light bar (but I might need a new bumper cover to accomodate them being mounted low, either S or Aero)
MOMO street racer GT seats, blk/gray

So, that's it! I'm in Denver so I'll probably have Webb Motorsports do all the installing (as I have limited experience under the bonnet)

Thanks for the input! Motor on!

Welcome to NAM. :smile:

Living in Denver you have it pretty well MINI wise. Randy is there, so you have the aftermarket covered (talk to him about your mods if you haven't already).

Also I would join mini5280. They also have a mini5280 forum on NAM so you can check up on current news.

Again, welcome.

Dave
