It is my humble opinion, that all first Gens should have stripes. Looks good!

2nd Cat and Resonator Delete
Took the 2nd catalytic converter and resonator off the Countryman, nice deep tone now, not too loud or droney.

Wow! Looks like you have some work to do! I have to get ordering more parts here! But in the mean time, if I set this box on top of my other box, maybe it'll be taller?

Geez...you've been busy.

So the hitch is obviously on the R60. Which MINI is gracing your other two mods?

Managed to get the planned April mod done a bit early...



When the car was being recoded for the new brakes, the computer initially estimated that the software load would take five days. (Fortunately, it completed in less than three hours.)

Looks VERY nice! I have a love hate relationship with the JCW BBK. I can't run my winter wheels and tires (16") with them. So, I'll probably stick to stock. But my goodness do they look great!

I'm getting really antsy to start my spring projects! So much to do!

Yep, that's a trade I had to make when I decided to do these brakes. As a result, I'll be putting my 16" MSW wheels with mounted Blizzaks and TPMS sensors up for sale sometime soon. Someone local will be getting a good deal.

I was really hoping I'd have had this on for our lunch at Granite City, but U.S. Customs decided they needed to sit on this for a week and a half. I've had it on the car for about a week, but I've been to lazy to upload it.

The place that made this can do just about anything you want, Change the circle logo color,make any design you want on the wings,change the MINI font, Carbon Fiber look.

Significantly better, I would say. How does it affect the sound?
