It's installed since 3 weeks and this is how it sounds.

 

Changed the oil yesterday (first oil change out of maintenance warranty). Found grease all around the driver's side CV boot. Must be a hole in it. Called Mini today, they said it is cover under the warranty.

 

Over the course of the last 2 weeks I had the JCW sport gauges installed as well as the new LED rally driving lights, blacked out the chrome on the upper grill, installed carbon fiber MINI emblems, as well as replaced all the other chrome badges with new blacked out letters and matte black door handle covers. Finally achieved the Chrome free black/white color scheme I have been wanting.

 

I just ditched the runflats for the Yokohama Yk580. they are specific to discount tire but get really good reviews. I was a bit neverous about them but for the price ($160 off with yoko and discount rebates) and convience I thought why not. Glad I did! Huge improvement in ride comfort, traction, and a slight increase in mpg.

Then I put in the NM torque arm insert. Good improvement for starting out with the clutch and quick stabs of the throttle on the freeway. Finally just bought the JB+, should ne fun!

 

Nice the NM is really the only one on the market for the Countryman.

 

Looks like one of your drivers side led parking light is out. Possible faulty wiring?

 

Yea I see that also. Check again with the headlights on for the top half arch lit. Maybe the camera speed ?

 

Had a Forge recirc valve on the shelf for quite awhile now (originally took it off to do some troubleshooting), finally got around to ordering lime green vacuum lines to match my car's pinstripes.

 

I actually noticed the same thing on mine a few days ago after bumping the lights while the car was off, but everything was fine once I hit the ignition. Pretty sure it was on the same side, too.

 

The Intake looks awesome


The green line you added pops under hood.

 

It works its just the camera with the way the LED's flicker.

On a side note thanks ECS for great prices, saved literally hundreds off the prices from shopmini.com adding up all the parts I've bought.

 

That's what I was thinking, shutter speed.

Thanks and we are glad to help

 

Got my baby tinted!

 

I finished my custom CAI prototype.

 

Installed BMS Clutch Stop minus 1 shim....Best $10 ever spent, highly recommended.

 

Draco got his first bath at home...can't clean the windows on the inside yet though...waiting for them to cure from their tinting...

 

I washed, clay bared, polished and waxed yesterday. My arms are so SORE.

 

Version 2.2

K&N tight fit


Fresh air


Final version will be finished this week...

 

can you feel any difference with the carbon intake?

 

Mounted the JCW front spoiler

 

I went on a car cruise with some buddies the same night I installed it (so there was plenty of aggressive round-a-bout driving to be had), and there was a fairly noticeable difference in throttle response over the stock box and whatever aftermarket dry drop-in I had in there. I really like the sound of it as well, and the thing looks absolutely beautiful.

 

Thanks for the review, it a beauty under the hood.

 

Mishimoto Catch can installed. I had to source a few parts, but it all worked out well.





All aluminum CAI with heat shield is coming soon.

 

YES! I did the same thing a bit ago really helps with the clutch dead zone. Combine that with the Torque arm insert and it makes for easier starts.

I put on my JB+ about a week ago. Great little,tunning box, it really makes the car come alive. After taking a round about or freeway on ramp corner, the mid rpm throttle roll on really gets the car scooting.

Next up RSB and exhaust.

 

Crap Industries 2" Lift Kit, VIP Custom Hella Black Driving Lights, Yakima Load Warrior Roof Storage, Megan Racing Axle Back Exhaust with burnt tip, OEM Sport Decal, M7 Tow Hook, Yoko Geolandar ATS tires and VIP Air Intake. Putting NM Sway Bars, OEM Mud flaps, and JB+ Tune soon as it gets in and 20mm spacers for a more aggressive stance.
