Sleepless, nice track videos you have ........... very, very tempting !!! AND I see you upgraded your brakes, happy ?

 

That's one cool Mini you've got there. :smile:

>>Just returned from 2 hours of driving, very fun. I would say my favorite 2 mods would be the pulley, cold air intake and the seats. Those do make a big difference.

It's good to hear you are motorin. Just be safe and not have anything extra happen to you. It's not worth it.
Pulley? Did you do that mod before or after the London stainless header? What did you notice that the header did, I'm thinking of adding the same header?
Some say that the header doesn't add much for loudness, increases power from 9 to 12 HP, and adds torque in the midrange (4500 rpm) to higher ranges whereas the pulley works more in the lower ranges like 2500 rpm up to redline. Do you think the two complement each other? I have the Quicksilver exhaust and I like that with my madness intake- great midrange power and nice loudness to the exhaust. I also have the rebored throttlebody- what do you think about it. I have had mine for only a few hundred miles. I think the throttle response is a bit smoother and more responsive. Not much change in loudness/noise and maybe added 5 HP. I think I will be adding the pulley and I noticed you don't have the EVO ECU upgrade. (You can PM me your response about all this)

>>As far as the broadway mirror, not sure, but would help when your strapped into the seats. ALso I have noticed with the seats, because they are a little lower, it would be nice if the side mirrors were a little wider. I am always double checking to the sides now more than ever before changing lanes.

You might go to an auto specialty store and ask about flat Broadway mirrors 270mm which come in high gloss finish or blue tint finish. I notice I can see quite a bit- like a wide angel view out the back.

>>What would I leave out ....... hmmmm......... good question. Maybe I would opt to be more patcient, and just save the money up and go straight for the big brake kit, BUT for what driving I have done thus far, the upgraded rotors front and rear have been just fine

Good, I gave you pause. I think you can be thinking about the total goal and do things that lead you to that goal. Or you can choose to just do things, try them out, make adjustments and gain experience. Not worrying about making errors and doing upgrades you are enjoying the journey not just the endpoint. Most of what I have done is for the fun of it. Not that I want to try everything out but I want to do some things and try it out for myself.

 

LMB, as regards the seat air bag light, I followed the How To in the performance section ( at the top of the list of posts ) and tracked down a 4 ohm resistor, made up a jumper and plugged it in. So far, works perfectly ! Also you can go to your dealer and have them program it out, AFTER you sign a liability waiver. Your choice

 

Nice mods but don't you think the images are a LITTLE TOO BIG?
(And BTW I don't know what these guys are talking about but I understood exaclty what the thread was about from the title... blank thread?)
You might want to check out this thread for some info on your drilled rotors. Good luck and enjoy.
