Congratulations! MINI is one of the most fun, yet safest cars on the road today. six airbags, DSC, passenger cell protection, along with most normal safety features help to protect you against your larger companions on the road. This little car is *strong*.

its for the stock part.....

looking in to a k&n ram air intake/ k&n box filter, ignition, spark plug wires, ect...

not to sure about the ram air vs. box filter though, the factory air box get "cold air" but its traveling in circles, the ram air is getting hot air but it short.

FL,

Look at some of the CAI posts on here...they remove part of the plastic wall that is behind the air box and that will bring cold air from the driver side vent below the windshield.....CHECK IT OUT!!! I have seen Detroit Tuned do this install....REALLY cool (get it? Cold ait intake.....cool...nm lol)
