I am! A custom tune makes a world of difference in the overall power delivery throught the powerband. Much more fun to drive now. Before the tune it was flat until 3500-3700 rpm. Now it starts pulling from 1800 rpm. Much better torque as well. Im very happy. Money well spent
Got my car back a few days ago after having the hood and roof repainted had rings painted pw also. very happy with it. also put on some scuttles i did plastidip.(temporary) planning on doing pw when it gets warm enough to paint. very happy with the progress so far. can not decide whether to paint the chrome grill pw or just put on the aero grill. suggestions appreciated!
I installed my DDM intake. That and my Megan exhaust really cranks my mileage down. I'm sure its not because of the way I've been driving it lately............ it growls now. i love it. you've got to get on the pedal to hear it though.....
Pulled the "Cooper S" off of the hatch, and prepped the area for my new R53 badegs. Waiting a few more days before putting them on. Gotta get a good wash done first. Also hoping to get my new hatch badge to replace the boring MINI wing on the back.
You ain't wrong about Craven quality. Got a fair collection of their goodies myself. Everything they make is top notch. BTW, it looks like you're off to a pretty good start for not even having your MINI yet! LOL
I finally installed the OEM alarm a few weeks ago and drive out to have Way activate it. While he was at it, he set the oil service reminder to 7k miles (instead of the OE 15k miles) and turned on my rear fog so it will already be done if I ever find a reasonably priced switch panel.
I also had him install his quick tune and raised the rev limiter to ~7233. Eventually I'll get the dyno tune and the cost of the quick tune is applied towards that so no lost $$$.
I'm running out of "cheap" things to do But still have plenty of pending projects to keep me busy.
I feel really good after spending the afternoon cleaning out and detailing my new car! I can't believe how dirty the wheels get! Is that a californai roads thing? Or a Mini thing? Either way it looks good now! Even had the neighbors enjoying the amazing sound system haha
1200 break in? What's that? Also, what's the pepper white owners club?
I am brand new and haven't worked out everything yet lol. Owned my mini for about a month now
