Hey Zippy, welcome!!
Loving my DRL's!! Also, my rear sway bar is making me take corners way too fast!

 

My odometer just rolled over the 10.000 mile mark. I've made many changes... Suspension wise, It's just where I want it. Koni Yellows, H&R sport springs, Alta 22mm RSB, TSW X brace, and a Nuespeed strut brace. I ditched the run flats and the Mini rims, for Michelin AS Pilots and a set of BBS rims. Originally, I replaced the OEM IC, with the Alta FMIC, which has since become, the heat exchanger for a DOS W2A IC (no more turbo lag), which is being fed by the DOS CAI. I replaced the OEM re-circ valve, with a forge re-circ valve. All said, this car can yodel. Lastly, I've upgraded the coils, with Okada project coils and Okada's plasma ground. I would love to tune the ECU... But the option available, are really limited.

 

Damn RAY, crazy mods!!
Welcome

 

That's awesome!!! Im doing some catch-up.. reading this new post/thread you started!..lol.. good stuff SuperGreg.. you tha man!

 

I put in a Craven speed SSK. I did away with the shift boot. This had a two fold effect-- It is an awesome look, and it really tightened up the shift. It took the slop right out of the shift.

 

Well, well.... look who finally showed up !

What's up, Zippy ?? How many miles you up to now ? How are your POPS and BURBLES ?

Any more mods yet ?

 

Thanks, glad to have you here!!

 

Good for you!! Makes driving fun right?

 

Hey CR.. Im making head way on the miles..getting closer.. Im at 803miles right now.. After the very spirited drive on the great river route..which I had a heck of a time keeping the rpms down ha ha.. and of course we had a run in with a cop in the area..but he was cool.. he stopped and told us he was headed south so he would recommend us to go north ha ha.. he said he knew what we were going to do ..he dig our MINIs.. But definitely the pops and burbles are way more noticeable now.. The car is coming alive!! I did get my JCW carbon fiber spoiler installed.. driving lights coming soon too..

 

I think we'll be needing some new pics pretty soon !

 

I agree.. I was just thinking about that today.. I wanted to wait for the driving light install but I just cant wait.. also this rear GP diffuser you guys are talking about has my attention..along with SG rear sway..lol.. Here we go again...I said I wasn't going to touch this MINI..but already the mods are starting...good lord here we go again

 

glad to be here.. Im happy you started this!!

 

 

That's just what I said a couple days ago, Zippy !

Damn.... going to need to sell a kindey. Maybe even a lung and a liver. Oh wait...

 

Ha Ha CR.. what are we going to do!!

 

Prioritize!

1. 22mm rear sway bar
2. Electric bill
3. GP2 Diffuser
4. Food
5. Short shifter
6. Mortgage
7. Whatever SG talks me into next

 

ha ha omg.. love the part.."whatever SG talks me into" but I am also thinking on the 22mm rear sway bar...along with the GP2 diffuser.. I guess I could eat every other day..ha ha But your also building a new home aren't you?

 

Still in the land search process but yes. So selling a liver mat be necessary.

 

Hee hee :P

 

ha ha..well they say you can kinda live whith out a liver Whatever you build I bet your garage will be awesome!! ha ha

 

The crowd goes wild, chanting: "Zippy! Zippy! Zippy!"

Glad you finally found us, burbling beavers and all!

 

I know a good doctor that I am pretty sure can help with that condition.

 

Lol

 

Morning, Gotters !!

Hey, any of you guys swap out your break-in oil yet ? I'm thinking 2,000 miles, maybe sooner. Whudyathink ?

 

Why? If it was necessary for the good of the motor, wouldn't BMW recommend it?
