New Here

Just wanted to introduce myself. Ive had my mini for about 2 months now and i love it. Its a pepper white cooper S 6 speed with a black top. I have the cold weather package and the premium package (for the moon roof, i love that thing!!). I also upgraded my sound system to the harmon/kardon. Thats probably my favorite upgrade!

Here are a few pics.

Thanks for all the welcomes!! Someone direct me to my first mod. Im thinking 15% pully. What do you all think? Simple, cheap, and good for 15-20 HP (or so i have read). Im also picking up some black bonnet stripes for my first oil change.

You can't stop with just a 15% pulley. You need to acceint it with a CAI and a nice exhaust. Welcome to NAM.

Yes i will probably add an intake with the pully. I dont know what exhaust to get. Which ones sound the best and perform well.

Who else on here has the Harmon/Kardon sound system? Is that sound beautiful or what? I had an RSX type S with the bose system and it cant touch the way the H/K sounds. I love it!!

Welcome to NAM!

I have the H/K too, and after I added a sub to it for deeper lows, it became an even better system!
