Any luck with those pictures? Looking forward to seeing what sort of shape it is.

Small Update

Tweedbean, I havent had time to go out to my car and take the sub out for pics. I should be able to tomorrow since it's my day off from class and work.

The other day the MINI was pissing oil everywhere out of the timing chain tensioner seal. It seems this is a fairly common issue? Car has only 58k and the chain service was done around 45k. It was covered under warranty but I had to tow it to Otto's MINI in Exton, Pa. Not a fun thing towing your baby like that.

In other news, I went to CBtuning last week and had a few logs and dyno's done as well as tried out a mild tune. The car in its stock state makes 163Hp and 186TQ. I think thats fairly well for a stock car.

The turbo and all the parts are going on Sunday. Ill have pictures up for the install. Stay posted.

hey kito, got more info on the diy intake? sizes and part numbers. thanks! :)

Well you see to make my HAI I just got a 3" cone filter with a elbow to come off the MAF. Like $20 maybe. It really only lets you hear the turbo more but other than that does nothing else. No part numbers sorry. I really want to get a intake that will actually give me cold air in the future.

Hope this helps :thumbsup:

Sunday boys and girls the car gets a freshen up!

Sunday?? but itz SuperBowl! lOL!

I gotta be honest, I hate football. I know, I said it. Just kill me hahaha.

Heres a few pics and videos from the past 2 weeks, let me know what you think.
