Been Lurking

Hey guys, I've been lurking on the site for a while now so I finally decided to make my first post. I've owned my 2009 Mini Cooper S for about 4 years now. I've been doing all my own upgrades repair work but I'll probably take it to get tuned at some point too. I actually just got a Subaru Forester to replace my Mini as a daily driver so I'll most likely do more modifications to the Mini. Current mods are BorgWarner Airwerks K03-2074, WMW noise maker and muffler delete, CTS intake, Alta BPV spring, ECS Atmospheric BPV, China intercooler (probably inefficient), China catless DP (leaks on startup), Milltek exhaust non resonated, Bosch 4464 coils, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Thanks for all the free info I've been able to get from here it sure has been helpful! Also If anyone is interested, I'm trying out some ruthenium spark plugs from NGK pn: LKR8BHX-S they seems to be working great so far and NGK claims they have "High Ignitability".

To quote an old member from back in the Gen1 era: "Pictures dammit, pictures! Without pictures, it didn't happen!". Oh yea, and welcome aboard.
