ughhh seriously right?? hahah but i guess thats the fun part, getting the parts one at a time? xD!Originally Posted by Baby Kito
You're telling me. College sucks right now. If it wasn't for that this puppy would have a few more goodies!
Catch Can arrived today. Will install in the next few days. Anyone know of some good poly bushings to stiffen up the front end without making the cabin feel like your in WW2?
Just installed my yellow fogs and OCC. the oil catch can was a tad bit customized, with fittings etc since I kinda did my own thing, but looks and works great. No CEL etc. which I didn't expect one anyways. Yellow fogs aren't to yellow just a nice subtle yellow. Looks good
Thanks sir. I was looking at Kw's etc but just bit the bullet on air. The price was around the same for all the high end coils so I figured if I could afford it then why not. After Air I don't think I could ever go to coils on my MINI. I just love it to much.

I currently have air on my '74 Thing and worry that it may be too soft when cornering vs a coilover setup...I've had KW Variant 3's in 2 of my older cars and loved them to death for rideability...I've only ever had air on cars that didnt need to handle well - which is why I would appreciate your opinion on how it corners. thanks for your input.Originally Posted by Baby Kito

I honestly find my air to corner much better than stock, very responsive. My swaybar is currently unhooked but even like that I feel the suspension can handle more than I'm throwing at it. But if I were you id find somebody with a similar setup to get a feel. Theirs no kits for this car so you'll have to make some modifications.
Here are some photo's for you to enjoy from my weekend at PSU. Always love spending time with my buds Nick and Alex. Awesome time and some awesome shots. I think I may send some to a few companies for shoots, but well see. Enjoy fellas!:thumbup:

really?? i know for sure Vmaxx has a kwazee drop (which i love). I just found these KW V1 at a good price so i wanna see. If indeed that they have the same drop, im super happy! =D
Vmaxx will get you low no doubt. But the KW is a nicer coil IMO. Both are fine choices but if the KWcan go as low as you want then I'd go with it.
I just saw you started following me! Thanks sir, I post usually daily on there.
Update. Car was photographed twice this weekend. Photos will be uploaded as soon as the photographers are finished. Also In contact with some companies regarding a bit more snail outta the car

Large Update
The car is currently in line to get a new snail
Franken Turbo is in the process of a new F21M turbo. Has a larger inlet and the F21M will have a significantly larger compressor wheel and turbine rotor. Nothing crazy just alittle extra pep for the the 1.6. Will be performing the tune through Helix with corresponding Dyno's. Ill post up all that after I have it completed. I will also perform a valve/Carbon cleaning during the install to ensure the car is in tip top shape! More performance will be coming up in the months following.
