Mods to Improve Driving Fun?
After improving reliabilty, my primary objective for mods is to improve driving fun. My Clubman is my daily driver, and I use it for autocrossing and an occasional track day, so I can justify almost anything.....at least without considering the cost. Some mods that I've enjoyed include a short shift kit (I run CravenSpeed), shift **** (have Doug Whalen and CravenSpeed), and an improved diverter valve (GFB DV+ here - will not add HP, but maintains boost when off and back on the throttle).
Some of my other mods include:
FMIC - Alta
CAI - JCW Kit Intake (my '09 JCW didn't come with it)
Turbo Hot Side Muffler Delete
Noise Maker Delete – N18 Pipe
Lower Engine Mount – Powerflex
Dual Oil Catch Cans – BSH
Turbo Inlet Tube – Alta
Clutch Interlock Delete – Code My Car
Clutch Stop – BSH
Accelerator Pedal Back Pressure Enhancement – Fabricated

Springs – NM Engineering
Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms - Hotchkiss
25.5MM Rear Sway Bar – Hotchkiss
Front Strut Brace – CravenSpeed
Fixed Camber Plates – Ireland Engineering

The clutch interlock delete is my description for eliminating the requirement to push the clutch to the floor to start the car. I don't mind having to do that, but I didn't like the extremely long clutch throw. Eliminating the interlock enabled me to put in a the clutch stop with many more spacers than I could have otherwise.
I think I became sensitized to long clutch throws when I drove my '03 330ci....it had clutch pedal travel out of a '55 GMC....
