OK...Here is a complete list of the entire modifications that have been completed to date on the primeMINIster:
The formal list of the performance mods are as follows:
BMP Instake
Madness Big-Bore Throttle Body
SuperSprint Exhaust
Powerchip ECU
H-Sport Springs
Alta Rear Sway Bar
H-Sport Control Arms
17" Wheels and Yokohama ES100s
Schrick Stage 1 Camshaft
Milltek Stainless Header
Cooper S Valves
Ported/Polished Cylinder Head
The list of the interior mods are as follows:
Union Jack Flag Sunroof Decal by Cooper Flags
Bonnet Stripes
Rally Lights
Tinted Windows
Euro Shelf
Console Organizer
Finally, the most important mod:
thePassport SR7 with Laser Shifters
Now the real questions is: "How well is the CVT handling all this hp"? The answer is just fine with no problems. If I had to guess we are pushing 160 to 165 hp on the Cooper (stock 115hp)! We will be installing a temp gauge to moniter the CVT. At some time in the future we will be changing the CVT to a 6 speed!
It has been a wild ride. Check out the posts on MetroplexMINI.org under primeMINIster for more details.

Welcome primeMINIster 
Wow, that's a lot of mods.
I wonder if it would be more cost effective to do the ultimate CVT mod and install the CVT transmission in an 'S'?
