Eh, not gonna post a big list of crap I've done to my MINI. On the other hand, if you'd like to learn about what things I've picked up on my journey to R56 track toy bliss click the link in my signature.

 

Holy crap, I thought I was pretty bad..lol

 

Would love to see more of those CCFL halos (and perhaps a write up on how you did them)!

 

The HID headlights were custom-made by Performance Auto Solutions.

 

@MinMin where'd ya find those LED tail lights? Are they the ones on OutMotoring?

 

They are the same ones that OUTMOTORING has, but I bought mine on ebay and saved a few dollars. I did get the matching fog lamps from OUTMOTORING.

 

Nice! Same here, even more excited to get home now! thanks for the update!

 

It's all in the sig. The HKS is coming off soon, but other than that everything's up to date. 97,500 miles of happy boosting!

 

Performance mods:

Alta foam drop in air filter.
WMW turbo wrap heat shield.

Purchased, but not installed yet;

WMW 2 1/2" catless down pipe.
Helix step core intercooler.

To be added:

Howerton HSF-4 water/meth injection
Alta Acess Port.

I'm still deciding on the rest of the exhaust (cat back) I don't want it too loud.
