Just installed short shifter and milltek cat-back!!

Hey guys,

Just lettin u kno that I finally found a used Milltek for sale and in my area so I cud just pick it up!! I paid 500 for it and it was in mint condition...the tips are perfect!! I brought it home on Saturday and installed it on Sunday wit my dad and bro. While we were under the car and had the oem exhaust out I figured Id put in my mini madness short shifter adapter that I had lying around since I was waiting for an exhaust!! Had to rip off the plastic casing around the shifter to fit this piece....but it was well worth itt!!! the throw on it is absolutely perfect (20% shorter) and for $60 bucks u cant beat it!!

All in all, I have fell in love wit my car all over again!!!....NOT that I wasnt always in love wit it but I had just started to get over pinning the throttle all the time after the pulley install and intake and began just taking it easy....but now wit new sounds to hear once again (and let me tell u the Milltek is really music to the ears at all times!!) im running thru the gears to redline every chance i can get!!! Another two great mods added to an already great car make this MINI one never-ending, thrilling ride!!! I cant get enufff!! I think u guys can tell how happy I am!!! lol

Peace,

Bizzlesmini

yep I have the Alta Short shifter and I also fell in love with my MINI again. I have the Short shifter set at 45% shorter which means that there is like one inch between First and Fifth.
But yes I love that mod.
