We decided to finally buy a mini and bought an 09 jcw with 20k miles. So far its simply a gocart on dope. The clutch is perfect, the ride is nice, and it can really rail into corners. I haven't played with it in overboost yet but even off sport I'm happy. And still managed an avg mpg of 28.3 on the way home. There have been a few mods done already, cold air, piping, exhaust, some carbon fiber, and a nice new set of checkered floor mats. I'm sure there's more to the car that I haven't figured out yet but looking and learning as i go.
I just uploaded the first few pictures of the new mini in my profile, let me know any opinions or sites to find other parts and performance.
Thanks everyone. I'll try and get more pictures up after I get it cleaned up some. I guess it sat at their lot for 5 months and was last started a month ago so its a bit dirty right now.
Ok, I've located the accessport, all turbo piping it didn't have, and the boost gauge. I'm having a hard time locating a decent turbo back exhaust. Everything else is already in place, just waiting on the last of the parts to get here (hot side boost, gauge, and ap). Can anyone leave a link to full exhaust? I was looking into the alta 3" cat back but not having emissions tests here, along with knowing someone, I'm wanting to do a full 3" catless or high flow. Thanks.
I looked at the alta 3" but open to suggestions. I found akraprovic exhaust, but no prices found yet.
Finally, a price. A bit more than I want to spend right now. If I do the alta cat back ($800) I need to locate a downpipe. The guy at alta suggested a 2.5 catless full dp. I'm going to do more digging but so far not a lot of luck.
Exhaust and dp found and ordered. Other parts ordered as well, anyone know a link to the aero kit? Thought of going for looks with the front and rear defuser but was told I needed to install the aero kit first. Any help????? Google has pictures but nowhere to buy. Baron bmw wants just over 400.
