A few new additions over the weekend :)

Over the weekend I installed a few new upgrades to the mini.
TSW carbon fiber engine dampener
M7 intake filter, with Red alta silicone hose (instead of black)
NGK 1 step colder plugs
H&R wheels spacers on rear wheels (cant really tell to much of a diffference)
aaannnddd thats it for now. I still have to install the forge motorsports radiator expantion tank, and power steering tank... maybe at the end of the week...

anyway here are some pics of the car with the new additions.. and a few more after i washed it.. its been so long since its been clean!

It keeps the engine from rocking. That extra energy is transferred to the wheels.

DAYUM That is sweet. I wish i had the money to trick out my Mini like that. For the money I have, its all about making it "look" cool then actually making it fast. I give it 2 thumbs up

Gotta do this soon as my Alta filter is getting old.

Malcon, if you're just going to "pass on" the filter, let me know.
