Interior:
Installed Honda Prelude interior. If you have an old mini with low back, (backbreaking) seats, having comfy seats with lumbar support is a godsend.
Exterior:
Classic '50's/60's Lucas 7" SLR700 and SFT700 lamps on a chrome mounting bar.
REVO four spoke 6x10 aluminium rims.
Performance:
Motor - LCB with twin box Superflow exhaust, aluminium intake, K&N, Pertronix ignition
Suspension - new cones, hi-lo's, adj lower arms, adj tie bars, adj rear brackets, poly suspension bushings
AIR HORNS - triple, so lumbering SUV drivers on their cell phones can hear me!

Hey Minimad,
quick ot question:
Both Revolite and Revolution 4-spoke wheels are listed on the Midlandwheels UK website as being designed by MWS, and both are listed at the same price. I thought MWS Revolites were knock-offs of the "genuine" REVO wheel, much the same as MWS Minilights are copies of the original Minilite. So... are both Revolite and Revolution made by MWS? Why would they make wheels that are nearly identical?

Steering column drop bracket:
Best. Mod. Ever.
Oh, and Harbor Freight has those triple air horns for less than $30. I keep meaning to get out there to pick thm up - I hate the "meeping" little horn that comes stock (almost been plastered twice now by people that couldn't hear me).

I'm 6" and I like the drop. I can't see the turn signal indicators as well, but everything else (comfort, gauge visibility, etc. ) is better IMHO. I have the seat brackets installed as well, though so that may be why (I put them both on at the same time) - now it drives more like a car and less like a teensy bus.

Yeah, you really need both the seat brackets AND the drop-bracket together for the most "car like" placement.
My thighs hit the underside of the wheel when I get in and out because of my height, but once I'm in the car, I find the position much more comfortable. Both MODs are easily reversable if you end up disliking them...
