Whats next?

Hello all!

Boy am I glad that I finally pulled the trigger on a new ALTA cai, and ALTA s/c pulley (15%). Ive been roaming around for about a year with just a borla street catback, and some 18 inch rims.. Now its a whole new car..Anyways i was just trying to decide what to do next. Could anyone bounce any ideas off me/routes i should go?

thanks!!

Injectors, Cam, and tune... best way to tie it all together.

Well that would finish engine work I'm guessing..then would you move to suspension? Then again this is my DD. but when it comes down to it, it's going to be expensive right? The next items are all "big ticket" items am I right?

Start with a rear swaybar. We've got them on special this month.

First I would ask you what you want out fo your MINI? Get a rear sway bar and maybe a short shift kit. Then I would move on to the Injectors, Cam, and tune. Just my opinion.

Well i already have a rear sway bar, just never got around to getting it on. As for short throw kits, any recommendations?

To answer your question about what i want to get out of it...Im moding it for my own enjoyment, i dont think i will ever track my miini, just want to put a smile on my face
