got our mini lastnight. I love it this thing rips. Would like the rims to be black. Now I just need to join a club and figure out what mod to start with.
I live on the central coast of Cali(SLO) area. Any clubs close?
Congrats & Welcome! I'm a former resident of SF Bay area (Alameda) and was in SLO for the car show one July. Enjoyed it there. There were so many SLO Vettes...there has to be a SLO MINI's...and if there isn't...start one.
Not sure where to start. I think exhaust, then pulley.
I want trade my wheels for black ones And tint the windows also.
this was my mod order:
strut-guard plates : $100 something dollars
then one-ball (resonator delete) : $50 bucks at the muffler shop
then intake (on what brand, it depends on your taste)
then 15% pulley
then ngk jcw colder plugs
then 380cc injectors
then h-sport lowering springs
then i got tuned today
next would be rear-swar bar and then the wheels.
Nice MCS! If you are interested in the most bang-for-your-buck car mod, Alta Performance has a deal that you can't pass up. Go to this link http://www.altaperformance.com/produ...rmance-Package- and put in the July discount code (JULMAS15) for the tune kit. It reduces the cost to $300! This is a great deal
Indy Blue is a great color, no to many of them with a silver roof from what I have seen(unless its on a checkmate). Its a good combo, and looks great.
As for mods, Realy start with a 15-17% pulley, have te S/C belt replaced when you do it ($30.00 extra) and check the tensioner. After that open up the intake and exahust.
Hey would 2 mini's in 1 family be crazy? We just got this one for my wife and I like it so much I am thinking about trading my 06 DC tacoma prerunner in on one. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Plus I could Mod the hell out of mine and she couldn't say anything!

BTW: I personally know this couple. They met at a local Mini meet. She is as much a mini enthusiast as he is, but I'll let you guess who's car gets modded.
Those wheels you have are bad a$$.
I want the same stock ones that I have only in black.
While black webs do look great, the second most effective mod on a 1st gen mini is losing stock wheels and getting light ones. Stock wheels all range about 23-26lbs, and for 17" wheels, they might as well be made from lead.
For comparison, those Feathers are only about 16 and a half lbs. That kind of unsprung weight loss is equal to about 200-400 lbs depending on the "formula" you use.
