Starting a build.....oh my
Hey minigunners,
So there is tons of great info on this site but I sti have some questions. I just bought an '03 MCS and now have the itch to mod. I saw on the M7 website where they have a stage 3 performance kit that from what I gather, from emailing with m7, is a bolt on kit and pretty sweet.
Comes with-
-16% sc pulley
-Either a 2 or 4% crank pulley
-a 180 thermostat
-their cold air
-and a belt for the sc.
I want to do my sc with a 16/2 setup which is like having an 18% (if I'm not mistaken). I also searched on here for a review on their cold air but couldn't find any details and don't know if that is a good intake. (I currently have a typhoon on it but don't like it). I've also looked in to better injectors and plugs and all that (plan on doing that after I do the SC work) as well as short shifter (these are my short term mod plans)
This car is my DD and I want to have the fastest mini in the area (there is a nice gp around here I'd love to be able to outperform). I've thought about doing some auto cross as well but more want the car to be able to handle fun days on back roads, highways and whatnot with plenty of power and zip. Any thoughts? I'm a newb when it comes to minis but want to learn them badly. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will be posting throughout my build process
