I recently sold some parts from my old MC and I now have $1000 to spend on my MCS. I'm looking for performance recommendations. If you were me, what would you buy based on the following info...

• I plan to track the car a couple times a year
• I go to the local drag strip a few times a year for kicks
• I plan to autocross the car
• It's a daily driver that I want to keep reliable

Current mods:

• Alta CAI
• 15% pulley
• OCC
• VGS mod
• Air diverter w/ sprayer
• EBC green stuff front brake pads
• Slotted & dimpled front rotors
• Braided stainless steel brake lines
• Yoko ES100 225/45/ZR17 tires
• M7 front splitter

Here are a couple items I'm considering for my purchase list:

• MTH Tuner program & cable
• Colder plugs
• Rear anti-sway bar

I look forward to seeing your suggestions

 

Sway bar for sure!!! MTH would be after that.

What are your plans for mods?

Power?
MTH & Exhaust Manifold (aka MTH Tuning Kit 1).

Control?
Rear sway bar, High Performance Drivers Education (help tighten the loose nut behind the wheel), Springs / Shocks or Coilovers. Quaife LSD

Acceleration?
Lightweight Wheels/Sticky Tires, Lightened Flywheel, better clutch

 

Been to Phil Wicks MINI driving school Great experience!

I'd like a combo of power & handling... mods I can enjoy day to day and not just at the track. I want a little more power for the fun factor, but handling at the track is important.

 

Sway bar

tuner program

 

you can lose up to 10-15 lbs per corner by getting light weight wheels to go with your Yokos
