Most liked posts in thread: How much have you spent modding that MINI?

Glad your going to remod your car. Hope you like it. I'm sure it will be good. I'm pretty much done spending money on mine, maybe some seats, BBK. All my fun money is now going into my road bike, approaching $10k there :crazy: Have a good one

 

Have fun doing what you love? At 29 I feel the same way.:beer

 

Thats the way to do it Kitty. The good stuff costs more, but you wont be redoing it again later.

 

If I include my cleaning products, that may push me over the 5k mark :lol:

 

So 700 on cleaning products? Do you have paint left on that car?:devil:

 

The MINI isn't for everyone.

I tell people all the time, if you want something 100% reliable and cheap/easy to maintain buy a Honda.
If you want something fun to drive buy a MINI.

 

I'm not sure if modding falls under maintenance, but my exhaust was done for 2 reasons. The OEM one was rusted out, and I wanted a better one.

Are we counting stuff we throw on for the track, cuz DTC-60's & R-comps be 'spensive!

 

Nate,

Reminding people how much they have gone and spent modifying these econo boxes might not be a good idea. Specially for those of us with two of them.

 

......and those of us with wives!

 

Wow, you set the bar really high if up to $5,000 only qualifies as "I've done a bit"!

I've got a Way pulley, front and rear sway bars, rear end links, shocks, struts and a Way tune, plus a few other little things. I'd say that's more than a bit!

 

Sure hope this poll is anonymous -- I could get in big trouble if a certain lady found out.

 

Most of my more expensive mods were done when the OEM stuff wore out, instead of just to do them (upgrade brakes, exhaust).

The cost divided out over almost 8 years is pretty cheap for me..

 

At the rate its breaking... The upgraded after market parts are adding up for me..lol

 

Ummm... "TOO" is not an option???

 

So I voted, let's just say I spent too much :lol: Now I wonder if Nitromini voted??? :eek6::eek6:

 

yes I did vote.........
Most was on painting, powder coating or anodizing parts RED

 

That didn't hurt a bit

Ok that was the first $10K........:lol:
