  • One Ball Exhaust
  • H-Sport Springs
  • Prestine R98s
  • XM Direct
  • UniChip
Here are some pics:

Jay, looks great! So, how's she drive? Also, what happened to your plan to get the black JCW wheels? Those Web spokes look great.

Thanks! I really like it too! I am so glad to have a little pep now.

The one-ball sounds really NICE, louder and more poppy! Still not as loud as Soulfire, but I wasn't going for that. I wanted more poppies!

She is nice an low. Jay thinks she is lower than SF, but I am not sure. It still has to settle. And I didn't realize just how much I missed the pulley, till it got put on!

As for the black 105s unfortunately, they were 14mm! I didn't want to deal with the conversion stuff and have issues! But I am REALLY happy I didn't get them. I feel that the web spokes were MADE to be on Cecilia! Thanks Haemish! I just love them.... And to boot...TATE is fixing all the scuff marks(NOT caused by ME!!!) on the bullet wheels (with the tires for life program, it is FREE!!!) So, I will have 2 nice pristine sets of wheels...Now that makes 4 for our little family of MINIs!

And of course, we still had the Unichip that was Wagnbat's and it is now happily on Cecilia! Lots of pep!

AH HA!! I was wondering where you got those web spokes from. So, Edge finally found a buyer That's cool and they really do look nice against the Pure Silver!

I can't wait to hear the one-ball! BTW, you still have the stock airbox right? How does that seem to be? Any chance you'll decide to keep it or are you still planning to get a CAI?

Well, have no problem with the MM one, and hopefully I will be getting a Blue fliter with the new one...so we can clean the red one, put that in Cecilia, and have a nice blue one for SF!

We are doing the MM because it comes with a blue filter now, so I get the blue one and she gets the old red one, after I clean it of course.

This is what happens when you have multiple computers in the same home.

I'm very proud that a piece (OK, 4) of Mr. OEM lives on with Cecilia... in the same manner that a pieces of several other DCMM MINIs (Mia, Soulfire & BatMINI) live on in Mr. OEM (amber side turn signals, rear parcel shelf & head unit, respectively).

Now I just need to find a piece of Cecilia to add to Mr. OEM!

Stacey - also don't forget to update your sig with new photos.

Now it made sense that I was having Harry straighten out my first one ball job yesterday... What I can't figure out is why Cecilia (female) has any ***** at all much less one versus two.

I'm happy to say that while I, uh I mean, "The MINI" has but one ball that one no longer rattles.

Sounds like the XM Direct is working too? I'm glad I could contribute to the project! :-)
