The Mini Tuner's Thread

In an attempt to offer a new 'modder club' I'm going to throw this new thread up. Maybe it will catch on, maybe not. I certainly don't want to upset any moderators, so shut me down if this is a problem. Let's continue with the mod limit, we'll say 14 minimum. Must be in the car owner's possession, even if they aren't yet installed.

It's good to know what people are up to on minis, especially us with the 1st Gen's as the R56's seem to be hogging all the glory and new products lately. So, lets get to it, PLEASE no bickering! I'm begging you all.

Thanks. We were pleasantly surprised to see it was selected as the "ride of the month." I thought it was funny that they said that they didn't know that many mods could go on a MINI.

Actually, it is her car so she really looks forward to geting things done to it. We've completed the anthracite interior since then and switched to R56 brakes, plus some little odds and ends. She is very happy with it.
