I have a 2006 MC cab, its under a lease with about a year and a half left on it. Its my sisters car, but she recently began going to school in NYC, so she will not be sriving it much, its pretty much mine now .

last week I had the priveldge of driving a Porsche Boxster S for a few days, and as much as I love my MINI (and I really do LOVE it!!) I was spoiled by the Porsches pickup and speed in general .

What are some good MODs that I cn make to increse the performance of my MINI!?!

 

Well, how much money you want to dump into it? LOL

Really, if you are on a budget or not here are the 1st few things I would do and have done to my MC.

http://www.txwerks.com/servlet/Detail?no=18 Get the TSW Damper, it helps lay the power to the ground fast.

Get the Way Motor Works air box or a K&N.

Plus you can remove for service if your dealership doesnt like mods and at the end of the lease.

Both are easy do it yourself mods that you will FEEL off the line.

 

also a piggyback ecu is a good removable mod to increase getup and go

 

See below...

 

well im on a pretty tight buget! haha
but my birthday is next week, so it might go up!!

I would like to keep it all under $500, am I crazy? I mean, it is leassed. But will that do anything?

 

Best I can see for that price is

Air intake (nice sound) <200
19mm sway bar (great handling increase) 200 + 60 - 80 install

or if you just want engine
Air Intake <200
Exhaust 400 - 500 + 60 install

 

Forgive me...but what is a "Piggyback ecu"?

Havn't heard of this mod before (definatly a noob at mods in general )

Thanks!

 

piggy back (meaning not altering but adding to)

UNICHIP is the one I use I believe there are others but not positive
