I ordered a 16% pulley from way motor works on cyber Monday. I have a set of lighter wheels which will be going on soon. Next mod will be DDM intake..... Early next year hoping for a magnaflow catback.

A supercharger pulley by far should be your first mod.

Then an Hsport Comp rear sway bar.

those have proven over the years to be the best bang for the buck mods so they are a no brainer to do first.

After that we suggest driving the car and deciding what YOU want more of.

I agree with the Intake and Pulley. But if you want the performance aspect too, you need to get the car retuned after all the mods you put in. Also, I just installed Megan Racing headers to my MCS with a Borla Race exhaust and its AMAZING!!!! Full exhausts on MINI's give them a nice deep hum =]
