I dont belive i have ever posted pictures of my mini

Well here is my 04 mcs I bought last August just a few things done dt bpv, wmw 17% pulley and alta intake, and a prosport boost gauge and I think my next things will be raderwerks wheels and nm lowering springs. Oh and my rear badge center came off so I just polished it out

Those are the exact three engine mods I want. Two down, one to go.

How do you like your DT BPV? Did it make a difference?

Next thing I'd recommend after that is a Sprint Booster. I hear good things.

Looks like a clean, stock Mini. That's how I want to keep mine. It's nice to be invisible when I drive. I had a modded honda for a while and it was a pain always watching for cops.

Ya it makes a little bit of difference not a whole lot

I have heard good things as well I was thinking about that but I think I am going to put a bvh on it as well

And I want to work on the outside like aero grills stubby antenna and invidia exhaust and I think I will be done

By BVH do you mean a different head? If so, then you can skip the Sprint Booster -- you'll need a full-on tune anyway. I'd make sure to do that and the exhaust all at the same time so that you're not running without a tune or paying for a tune that you'll make outdated with another mod soon after.

Ya the "Jesus head" and those will be my last few things and some bigger injectors as well can't forget those then I will have it tuned so I am not paying to have it tuned more than once

Yeah, I hear that all of us with reduction pulleys should have bigger injectors, but I've never noticed any problem running without them. Maybe if I was tracking the car...

No you don't need bigger injectors it runs fine with stock but if you go get a tune you can get more power with the larger injectors

I am probably going to get a tune after I get the tighter bpv, instead of the sprint booster. Maybe I'll get some JCW injectors before I do that.

I would stick with the jcw 380 injectors unless you plan to keep modding your mini mor and more throughout the period of time you have it then I would just get the 440cc injectors

Good to know.

I'm trying to keep it pretty much stock. Just plan on doing those slight engine mods with a tune and maybe some better brakes and steering components. I want it to look and sound pretty much stock (except for the whine) so that I'm not cop bait.
