Hey there, sorry for the delayed response.

Thanks for the compliment!

No mods needed for the Stage 1 mapping. But if you go Stage 2 & 3, you'll need to upgrade the exhaust and FMIC.

The wheels are factory R112 with offset of +48. I added 12mm spacers to push them closer to the edge. It's not flush, but close enough for me.

 

Just gave Annalisa a nice bath and yesterday I hooked up an Oil Catch Can from Madness. I'll be seafoaming her tomorrow to clear out all the oil residue from before the OCC.

 

So far they're great. I ordered them from one of the mini vendors (Moss?) and got just the fronts on sale for about $160 shipped. They add some nice comfort and bolstering. Also not as hot as the vinyl. I recommend them. No experience with the okoles, other than seeing their higher price

 

Miami,
So, the Coverking Neoprene seat covers are cooler than the vinyl?
I'm sitting on a Walmart towel now because the vinyl was just SOOO sweat-inducing.
I've been debating the Coverking neoprene vs cloth covers.

 

Yes, they are! Cloth are cheaper and probably a bit cooler, but I like the extra cushioning and finish on the neoprenes.

 

Just ordered these today on eBay:

 

Got car back from dealer, 1/2 power code caused by pinched vacuum hose. Ordered H-sport comp RSB from Outmotoring last night, picking up BSH OCC tonight.

When wiring the metr be sure to get corect wiring. Their website has two versions one is correct and the other.......

 

Stripped the poor platidip job off of the wheels that a PO did only to find out that the moron didnt even clean the wheels beforehand. Ive got a lot of polishing to do in the near future...

 

Added another piece of CARBONMINI Carbon Fiber. It is their new CF antenna base overlay.

 

Very, very nice, what was the damage for it?

 

$150

? I thought this is just a receiver that is powered by usb amd receives audio via bluetooth and outputs it to 3.5mm audio jack

 

Hi:
The Metra ASWC is a unit that restores the steering wheel controls to your unit. It is wired to the OEM harness in the car and connects to the rear of some radio units via a 3.5mm jack in the rear of the aftermarket radio.
I hope this helps!!

 

Just installed a set of Kumho Ecsta 4X today to replace my Michelin Pilot Primacys. Like many have said the difference in ride quality was quite noticeable. We'll see how they perform at The Dragon as I'll be heading down next weekend for Tar Heel's MINIs Slay the Sleeping Dragon.

 

Finally got around to installing my Spec-D halo-headlights.

 

What I bought requires no wiring. It is simply a module that plugs into a USB cigarette lighter power plug, and then has a 3.5mm aux port. Check the eBay link posted above

 

Unfortunately I won't see mine for 3+ weeks....shipping snail mail from Hong Kong.

 

took my car to the dealer today to get the timing chain tensioner fixed, my warped hood scoop fixed, and one of my speakers fixed. They put me in a loaner 2013 justa automatic...lets just say I already miss my car lol

 

Got my GoBadge holder and badge mounted

 

Today I completed my fender painting project. I spent several evenings sanding and using filler primer until the textured feeling was gone. No need to rush as my paint was still in shipping status. I ordered the paint(astro black) and clear coat from paintscratch.com which is the same company I ordered the Chili Red paint I used for the mirror caps.

Here is my recommended supply list:

Three cans of filler primer
Three cans of Base coat
Three cans of clear coat

Here are the pics of the project in the works.
