I thought I had installed every mod that I wanted. Then, while surfing the Pilo site I came upon this MUST HAVE:



I would like to know about other's performance enhancements after installing this mod. That's know, not see.

Also, as I am elderly and can't see too well, is that Dan's car or portrait?

I think the PILO racing thong is lighter weight than a standard pair of boxers or jockeys

you didn't read the fine print....

it didn't say anything about improving your car's performance... it said it improves wife's performance in bed.

for that, any amount of money it is worth!

Well, this is a highly secret mod for the mini. Not only is it considered an Exterior upgrade, it's a great performance upgrade that will enhance the speed at which you hit redline

Enjoy

Representing what’s under the bonnet with a mini and hitting red line faster are two things that may not be desirable – if you get my drift.

If you have leather and wear it sans pants, you'll definately stay put in your seat better around the twisties.

If BlueMCS bought one, I'm sure he'd cut out the central protective portion in order to save a smidgen of weight.

>>As it would significantly aid turn in, or is it toe out?

if you are referring to those of the camel, i guess that depends on the woman!
usually toe-out is a sight to behold!

That looks like a pretty nice mod. Where does one go to see a finished installation?

What kind of bushings would you run with this? And I suppose synthetic chassis lube to prevent squeaking?!
