Drivetrain $15,000 for mods. What do I get???
15K Gone?
What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!
Not neccessarily - had to visit my doctor after my last visit.
$15,000 will get you my list of mods. Have to include my 2 latest mods which are not in my sig to get there - SSR Type C-RS 17x7.5, Dunlop Star Specs and Wilwood rear brakes. Worth every penny to me.

I got a RMW cam, 19% pulley, CAI, Denso Plugs, JCW 380 injectors, some shitty as custom cat-back, and RMW tune. I'm pushing 220whp and it's for everyday drive. I track the **** out of it so i also put Hotchkiss 25.5 mm rear sway, tein springs, EBC brake pads, and nice tires. I'm unstopable. E92 M3 could kiss my a**.
If you go with 19% pulley, CAI, plugs, RWM cam, RMW head, RMW block mod, RMW injectors, RMW header, RMW tune, and a nice cat back. you should be pushing 285whp. make sure you know how to plant that power to the floor cuz at 220whp I have trouble with lsd.

Here's the Deal. I'm in the Navy and I have $15,000 to spend for mods. I have a paid off bone stock 2005 Mini Cooper S with 31,000 miles. My goal is to spank my brothers 2009 BMW 135i with those twin turbos. I would like to build a car with a reliable 250+ whp with the suspension to handle it. I've been doing alot of reading and theres quite a few options. Suggestions?

I doubt it.
Well if not you can always blame it on the economy?
IIRC the block/head/cam combo (crate engine) was approaching 8k. But I can't find the post where that was stated. Plus that car also had the TVS supercharger kit so you would be looking at around 10k I would guess.
I've been looking around at rear wings and come down to the JCW CF or M7 M-wing in CF. Which performs/looks better in your opinion? Also, been doing some heavy reading on BBK's. Wow. Thats alotta engineering to consider! Looking at what TCE and TSW have to offer and what would best fit my application (street screamer/track some day). Wilwood front and rears maybe? 13" kit? Does anyone know where I can get 17" OZ Ultraleggara rims in Race White? Tirerack service was not very helpful when I called.
Back seat deleted, WMW Supercharger pulley package, DDM CAI, M7 front STB, M7 APD, M7 OCC, M7 upper, middle, lower, rear ultimate grill inserts, M7 Extreme hood scoop, M7 CF shift ****, O.Z. Ultraleggara Black 17x7 w/ 205/45/R17 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position wheels. $4g down, now for header/exhaust combo and RSB size to pick.
Any suggestions for RSB size? I'm going back and forth between 19 & 22mm solid. Read so much, my eyes are almost bleeding.

M7 Tuning
I've been eyeballing the Seiban CF hood and rear hatch on sale. Does anyone know how good the fit and finish is? Do they need to be trimmed in any way and do all the stock parts have attachments? Does the hood deform at all from regular street/spirited driving engine heat? I'm just full of questions I'm hoping someone has answers to.........
