after a month of sitting in it's box on my bedroom floor i was finaly able to install my Alta CAI today and all i can say is WOW... I'm in LOVE with that sound

next my 15% pulley... i think imma have to take a day off reallly realllly soon for that one, cause i know it'll just make that whine i love so much even louder

 

Its making me want one

 

I can't believe you were able to wait an entire month before putting that CAI on. Don't you regret it!?!? It really pronounces that SC whine.

After you get the pulley, you'll never use your radio again.

 

Watch out! The 15% pulley really makes the Alta CAI and supercharger SCREAM which also entices you to use more throttle and get <gas milage...

 

1) WELL ITS ABOUT TIME!
2) You are on your way to developing an addiction.
3) you think you like your CAI - wait until you pulley up!
4) after pulley think - 1-ball exhaust and tuner ecu upgrade.

Those 4 goodies will transform your mini and you will never be able to drive a stock one again.

 

haha i knoww, my whole way to work i wasn't able to turn the radio on i was too into the whine of the SC, so amazing, and yes i do regret it, now i just need to get that pulley on and keep my foot off the floor

ohh an addiction it is, i'm already trying to save money for the exhaust and ecu, just not very sure what ecu i wanna go with yet... any input on that? haha...

i really can't wait till i put the pulley in

 

Alta CAI is a good way to start modding!!

But the 15% pulley will make you addict to mods.

I suggest you get a rear swaybar as you next mod. This makes a huge difference on the handling!

 

awesome thanks for the tip, i was thinking about what i can do to improve handling, and i was thinking about some suspension mods also

 

I have my Alta on its way as we speak, should be here this week and i cant WAIT to put it on, i wish it was here now so i could be putting it on

 

I had my ALTA installed about 2 months ago (it's AMAZING) and I cannot wiat to get the 15% and the Milltek installed! I plan on getting the pulley, exhaust, DTBV, and Denzo IK22's all installed at once. It's going to be such a different car. I can't wait! I've got the plugs and the bypass valve starring at me in the face right now. It's such torture!!

 

My Alta CAI is on its way as well. So how much of a difference in sound is it?

 

haha i know what you mean, my pulley is just sitting there in my room crying to be put on i do have one thing to be thankful for though, a buddy of mine is a Ferrari and Maserati mechanic for a dealership out here so i get to use his brains and tools on his days off , unfortunately for me he's been super busy this month

 

LOL - I have had a JCW airbox sitting in my garage since they came out a few years ago!

 

the sound diffrence is amazing... simpl as that lol... the whine is very noticable i don't think i'd be able to go back to stock lol

 

loll, that would drive me NUTS haha

 

ah yeah the memories this brings back sniff ; it's like your first kid. now come to the dark side......feed the monkey he's getting bigger .!!

 

First its an Alta CAI and a pulley, next thing you know your buying a DFIC and pricing a new head and header while waiting to be a beta tester for an M62...

 

I was always wondering how much whine comes through with the Alta CAI and a stock pulley. Now I know, thanks

 

loll, i told my self no more mods for a month... well that lasted less than a week haha... i just ordered a Craven Speed short shifter

ahh, the M62 would be awesome, but i'm a starving college student so it might have to wait

 

have you guys notice once you added the CAI. the mpg got worst./?

 

yes, only cause i couldn't keep my foot off the floor i think i got ~10 less miles on this last tank cause i was at high revs listening to the whine alot

 

mine got better with every mod . go figure. ah yes the monkey could eat a very long time on a 62.

 

The bigger the bite the monkey gets the more he wants and the M62 is a big bite
