First mod.

Well I thought I could leave this one alone. Not going to happen. Just picked up our first mod for the Mini. Invidia catback off of ebay. I promise just exhaust and intake... And pulley, tuning, wheels/tires, suspension. Then for sure I am done. With that round of mods. Mods are worse than crack. Th dealers (tuners) give you the first hit for free. Just be sure to come back.

At least we have a good support group for our mod addiction. We just need to come up with a 12 step program. Wait I've got it.

1 pulley
2 intake
3 exhaust
4 sway bar
5 wheels & tires
6 springs
7 unichip
8 shifter
9 headers
10 Whalen ****
11 stripes
12 custom head

Feel free to add to the steps or do them in any order and I promise it will only make your Mod addiction worse. We are all incurable. I just hope everyone is a lucky as me and has a wife that puts up with it.

MiniMe05,

Good choice on exhaust!

Once it starts......

Since April began,

K&N Typhoon Intake
Milltek Exhaust
Alta 15% pulley
Denso IK22's
OZ superleggara 18's/Comp TA KDW's
Whalen Shift ****
BenFerPerformance CF hood scoop

Coming in May,

M7 Springs
Alta Sway bar 22mm
B&M Short Shift Kit
ECU upgrade (Still undecided which)
M7 Ultimate Lower Grill

To think that the at the begining of the month it was going to be "just the intake..maybe exhaust." But as I've discovered, it's an addiction. So, why fight it? This morning, I started researching brake kits...oh boy.
