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

I don't want to know (see sig.)! :eek6:

 

17" wheels, pressure sensors and tires, coming soon a hitch and/or probably some rails and a roof top cargo box, plus the silver trim I did on the A panels, my camera mount, rear sway bar and Schroth harness - that's enough for me. Do you count the Garmin with the OBD dongle?

The only other thing I've been contemplating is doing some paintwork to brighten up the interior....

It does add up quickly, doesn't it?

 

With no kids I was able to put the college education funds into the car . Ballot cast

Senator I'm takin' the fifth on this one!

(I just don't want to know!)

 

Voted!

Instead of getting a new car, I will probably jump from the "I've done a bit" to the "I've done a lot" boat in due time. :arf:

 

The list isn't high enough if you count blowing the engine. I've got about 40k plus the cost of the car 47k.

 

Ha! No higher math required. Wheels and tires put me in the "stupid" category. And that was before the racecar build started.

 

about to hit i think it's still in a mini in a few grand :lol:

 

Definitily in the 10K plus category :frown2:, but I guess you've got have a hobby.

 

Damn. That's a lot of people who spend a lot of money to go slower. Maybe you all need a good tuner?

Where's the 100k bracket?!

 

Now who in their right mind would spend that much on a sub-30K car....







....at least that's what people ask me all the time.:idea:

The "Mad Modders Club"?

LMAO! That might be good for a start. :crazy:

 

Theres some truth in that mr. jnky. We can certainly add alot by tweaking the suspension and the ECU and some gains on the airflow through the engine via turbo back exhaust.

I hear all this debate on the sewing site about things like CAI's and when you come down to it the difference between all offerings is pretty minuscule and actual HP gain is not that much.

Ask someone about what a 3rd party Intercooler can really do for you and the gains vs dollars spent and I have never really got a straight answer. Like +5-10HP for $6-700?

 

What I think an interesting poll would be is to find out how much we have spent on parts that are no longer on our cars.

 

Another painful discussion!
