Howd you do the yellow fogs? Film? I tried to do mine in the bumper and they were really bulbous and hard to make look nice, I decided it would have to wait until I take them all the way off the car to do it properly.

I used a fog lens spray tint I found on Amazon. A Japanese brand with Japanese instructions. Ha.

NM Engineering Power Module

Sunday afternoon I installed an N18 NM Engineering power module on my R60 Cooper S. It was a very easy, inline mod connecting at the MAF and boost sensors, with noticeable improvement in response and power. Liking it so far, and looking forward to driving it in my first autocross experience at MITO - Minis in the Ozarks in a couple of weeks.

Took the rally stripes off, new ones on the way. Who puts black rally stripes on a black car? Red is going to look so much better.

Replaced wing mirrors with convex "no blind spot" mirrors. Going to take a bit of getting used to, but they work.

I think I just have a good angle on my pic. They're not on the car yet.




This is what the Apex 17x8.5" (et40) wheels look like.



I may get 12mm and 5mm spacers for the front and rear wheels. I'll be running 245/45-17 tires. I also plan on installing coilovers and supporting parts when I do all this.



Wheel and tire combo will look similar to this car. This are the same style Apex wheels in size 17x9" (et30). Tires are 245/45-17.
