Hey Kingkoopah- As of right now don't have any more pictures.. I will add later one when I do some more upgrades.

UPGRADES: intake filter by M7 Tuning, Blistein Coil Over with some drop, radio. Adding flexpod gauges , Oil Temp/Pressure/Boost and now i'm thinking maybe add water too since I'm adding boost gauge. (Still thinking on the water gauge part). New Tires all four.

MUST or WILL FIX: the top valve cover with rubber seals and turbo kit. Got the turbo kit from Detroit Tuned. Both have a very very slow leak.

UPGRADES: (Maybe or Maybe not)- Two Front seats to something like Recaro or Sparco or some aftermarkets that I come across. Front metal grille. Black Plasti on all four wheels. perhaps Black wide strips all the way from hood to back of car.

When I get the actual upgrades done then will take more pictures.. One last thing I did upgrade two days ago was new Cowl cuz the old one with rubber were dried out and cracked. It was easy upgrade and made my car look newer near the windshield.

till then...

Got a few shots of my Mini over the weekend. Took a trip up to Port Jervis' Hawk's Nest (Rt 97), New Paltz Rt 44, then down to Orwigsburg, PA for the Regular Car Reviews Car Show. For those of you who don't know Regular Car Reviews, I highly recommend their YouTube Channel if you like car reviews mixed with toilet humor and Masters Degree level literature analysis.

On the Hawk's Nest (I know, over the line, we ensured the road was well clear though):

Wow, two months past since the last post on this thread...rise!

We just got several inches and are in single-digit temps, so it's time for a Blizzard Burrito run. Though I wish it had an LSD, the narrow Blizzaks mean we can blast past all of the SUVs (and even Subarus) on all-seasons.

I remember those Colorado winters well. We planned on at least a couple snow days where we wouldn't be able to leave the house. Glad to see you're out and around.
