Mod wish list...what's yours?
 

I do have a lot but I still have a wish list...... this is stuff I am commited to doing when I can justify the $...... about once a month or so I add something but some of my wish list is going to have to wait.....but it has reality as a base.....

in no particular order:

1) Clutch/quaiffe/LFW - I was hoping to have this in already - waiting tillI need a clutch
2) JCW CF mirror covers
3) M7 CF front spoiler for the aero kit
4) some CF wing...not sure which one
5) Sparco Milano Prestige seats

all but the seats I hope to have in by Dragon time 07....maybe the seats

c'mon dare to dream this can be fun:nod: :nod: :nod:

Webb Extreme Rear Swaybar
Sport Stripe Kit
Webb HDI
BBK (not sure which)
Vacucam

Watever one comes with a winning lottery ticket!
 

But barring that, I'm getting close to the end...

head (will do this summer)
custom ECU programming (will do this summer)
Suspension Bushings (who knows when. I was hoping mine were shot to give me an excuse, but I checked em and no such luck)
Lighter flywheel/clutch/LSD (I have an 02, wasn't even an option, I've been thinking my clutch has been about to go for 15k or so, eventually I'll be right).

Who knows what else my testing will lead me to, but that's about all that remains on the list. Then it's just more track time, and stepping up to a dedicated set of track tires and wheels.

Matt

surely there are others.....

Exhaust, M7 please
Schroth harnesses
short shifter
software reprogram

Those are the things I seriously want and will try to get together the $$ for... if we're going all out I'll take a new intercooler, color coded arches... hell... paint the whole car a darker, cherry red actually. And some new seats and bigger brakes ;)

Budget not an issue:

Custom Rear Seat Delete (2-3 week away)
Fixed back FIA approved Race Seats (end of summer)
Harnesses
Bolt in 6-point cage (we'll see if I get around to that)
Exhaust (probably go modified one ball first then complete custom down the road)
Custom ECU
Intake becoming even more custom as we speak
maybe IC
Head
Splitter
Rear sway bar
Boost guage and VSD
Zaino system
(I'd also add a 15% SC pulley if I find its worth it to have to change class from Spec MINI to PT)
And 3 sets of wheels/tires (Winter (S-lites and Bizzaks), Summer (R99 and Egale HPs), Track (JCW 18" and Eagle F1s))

very nice....gives me ideas....

Exhaust
ECM reprogram (still looking any ideas?)
Sway bar

depending on your mods both GIAC and MTH are the popular choices

glove compartment organizer!!!!

Ipod adapter, aux Input, Factory Alarm, MINI valve stem caps

And its only the beginning!!!! :P

I'm thikning of going GAIC. There is a GIAC dealer here who works on a lot of BMW's and VW's and I'm sure would like to work on my car.

I already have a healthy mod list but I doubt I'll ever be done.

Euro-Tech I think is the name...in Marietta

Yep. Euro-tech, EPG. I talked to some people who know some people and they sound pretty good. The VW people seem to love this software and I've done some research here and on MINI2. Looks like a good option. Especially having a local dealer for upgrades and if for some reason I had an issue.

Webb HDI (by end of summer)
pulley (next year)
exhaust
IC
throttle body
short shifter
lightweight flywheel
LSD
boost and oil temp gauges
coil pack, wires, and Iridium spark plugs
coilovers

I wish:
Yoko Advan RGII or SSR Comp wheels
P&P intake tract
P&P head
exhaust header
stiffer valve springs

In my dreams:
twincharge

They were very honest with me..... I tried GIAC with my car but they were not able to do the custom tune....... my car had mods they were not able to accomodate......unless I wanted to spend big money, IE. Bently money..... they tried it, it did not work for me and they gave me back my $...... I liked the honesty and would probably use them with a pulley/intake/exhaust car.....it was the head/cam etc. that they did not have a "programmed" for.

Not all GIAC dealers are created equal..
 

there are those that install pre-configured tunes, and those that can create them. Sad thing is, I don't know if there are a lot of those that can tune them that are also familiar with the Mini.

FWIW....

Matt

Toooooooooooo much to listtttttttttttt


:lol:

-Cody

custom head - "in the mail"
4-2-1 header - OBX - already coated and waiting for the head (see above)
new gen unichip - ordered.....actually backordered
Alta Sportone exhaust - ordered - will be "altered" to fit my MC

seriously considering.....some time in the future.....:
turbo

Seats... either fixed back like Recaro Pole Position and swap seats around which sounds like a pain, or reclining but with a 5/6 point harness capability like Recaro Speed 5 - but those are more expensive and not as good for the track. I'm probably test-sitting seats early next week. I just have to remember to keep the credit card in the wallet. :lol:

HANS device? It's one of those "I know I should" things, but I haven't seen many people at the HPDE level using them...

Wilwood / TCE brake kit - stainless steel brake lines - good brakes are eluding me. Well, maybe I should say great brakes are eluding me. Mine are good enough until I get to those tracks that are really hard on brakes, then mine make me uneasy.

A second car so I can go ahead and make the MINI a track specific car - still street legal so I wouldn't have to trailer it, but no need to keep things comfortable enough for daily and winter use.

right now, for me, my car is essentially done... im saving up for my track car and my future 05/06 used cooper for autox full time...

that said... i wouldnt mind if someone sends these to me without asking for money:
M7 USS
OEM Aero kit with M7 Lip
Leda coilovers or Tein Type SS with EDFC
Qualife LSD, UUC Flywheel, Spec stage 3 clutch
UUC Catback, with Larini Header
New speakers with 10' Sub in the rear in a easy to take out box, with 1000w amp (not an audiophilie)
sparco Rev on the passenger side
Full Schroth 4 pt. harness
Autopower Race Rollbar
Rear Seat delete kit
Volk CE28N Silver for street wheels
SSR Competition for track wheels

i think that's it,

PSS9's (purchased from K9MINI, coming this summer)
H-sport Rear Sway Bar (purchased from K9MINI, coming this summer)
WMS Camber Plates (purchased from K9MINI, coming this summer)
Rear Control Arms (purchased from K9MINI, coming this summer)
Front/Rear End Links (purchased from K9MINI, coming this summer)
Whalen Shift Machine
DECHROME
WMS Valve for my exhaust
HRE Wheels (never gonna happen)

M7(Cosworth Head)
M7 DFIC w/carbon fiber scoop
M7 Exhaust
Koni Sport kit
M7 AGS v3
Aero Kit (completely painted PW along with my fenders)
M7 front quarter panels with the air outlet deal (Not sure how to describe this one)
MSD and plugs/wires
2% crank pulley
Headers w/CAT
JCW carbon fiber wing
JCW carbon fiber mirror covers
Strut Brace
Rear Sway bar
18" iforged wheels
get rid of/replace run-flats
and the list can go on and on and on...

Hopefully I can get to some of these this summer. :grin:

sounds incredible.......

After modding the hell out of my last few cars, I've decided to take it easy on the Mini. Maybe a CAI and rear sway bar. That's it.
