What did you do to your mini today?
After mounting the new DuelL AG exhaust, I found that with the factory resonator in place that it was still a little too mellow for me. So, this morning, I made a trip over to my favorite exhaust guy and had him perform a transplant. I had the center section of pipe with the resonator removed and a new piece of pipe (no resonator) installed. Now, it sound like it should with the new looks. It sounds aggressive, but not too boisterous.
Took the long way to a short weekend getaway. Drove for 8hrs to a place 5hrs away just to take the fun roads. On the way home we made an impromptu stop at IKEA and bought some stuff my wife wasn't sure would fit in the clubbie. But it did

I installed the ALTA BOV Spring upgrade last night.
I only had time for a short test drive afterwards and I did feel a difference going from gear to gear, especially from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th.
I wish there was a way to feel the stock spring again (without re-doing all the work) to compare...
Overall a subtle change but a change for the better I believe...

One thing I DIDN'T do was go to Minis On Top, even though i was registered. Life just had other plans for me. Too bad too. I've never really been to a Mini gathering in the years I've had mine. I hope they made good use of my money.
Maybe next year I'll make it. It's like this with bicycle races and events as well. You've got to pay to resister (sometimes a couple hundred dollars) and you lose your money if you can't make it.

Installed Sprint Booster V2
All I can Say is wow...
Easy Install. Took less than 10min, that's w/tucking away allremote wiring...... Discrete placement so not to stand out so much.
Test drive was impressive.
3 Modes: Off/Green (Sport)/Red (Race)
Green w/o Sport button on = Crisp throttle
Red w/o Sport button on = more responsive than stock w/Sportbutton on
Green and Red w/Sport Button on was fun as hell. Red was abit too scary for the Wifey, LOL...
Also, noticeable increase in BOV sound. Maybe due to the throttleopening quicker, not sure.
Cant wait til next Mod, Intercooler resonator delete
Laters...

Yesterday I noticed someone selling Blackline taillights (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ck-at-wmw.html). Today I ordered a pair.
