Ok, so I have my Mini CVT, have Nology plug wires on order, as well as a cold air intake.

What else would anyone reccomend doing to my Mini?

I do have the under car skid plate as well.

No pulley for CVT.

Did you get the air bag warning stickers off the visors? Denatured alcohol worked great for me.

Get some Zaino and Invisible Glass and microfibre towels and keep it shiney.

Touche, Coop.

Get a real wax or a car polish or ANYTHING that will keep it shiney and looking good. There are tons of products out there just don't let the car get all mucked up.

I had an 87 SAAB before my MINI and didn't ever care much for keeping it looking good but now I am on the crazy side in terms of keeping the MINI looking sharp. It really pays off when people want to check out your car and it looks like it just rolled out of the dealership.

You could think about an exhaust, speaking of an exhaust on a Cooper, I wonder what happened to chrisnl.

I vote for getting in the car and driving it :smile:

...if you already have the itch to mod, get a set of springs and a rear sway bar, you'll crap yourself how awesome it'll handle then

Erm...not sure I understand what you just said, Pebbles.

The MCS can get a smaller pulley because it has a pulley to begin with (supercharger.) The MC either CVT or Manual can't do anything about a pulley because it doesn't have such a thing.

I suggest an exhaust also. The combo with the exhaust and intake will make a good power increase and will sound awesome! What kinda intake did you get?

Look for some twisties and enjoy!
