    I tend to be one of the MA smart mouths...I think we will get along great! If Pepsi doesn't work for you though, we can change it out for something else.

    Anyway, seriously welcome. I love the Clubbies....looking forward to seeing what you have planned for this thing!

    Since its that time of year, how about some octoberfest beers? Lol

    I want to keep it simple but functional. Suspension mods in mind are springs to get her a little lower (not that ugly stance crap). Thicker sway bars and maybe a front strut bar to stiffen up slightly. Then its onro lighter wheels than the stock 22lbs. I was thinking konig feathers which are around 16 or 17 lbs. Then engine for now will be to make everything breath easier. Maybe an ecu tune. Down the road maybe a turbo upgrade but not for awhile.

    Do you have any recommendations? I had a h&r cupkit on my 01 bmw I replaced. I have coilovers on my 92 bmw (more of a toy/beater). I have a shop where ill be doing it all myself. And if I cant, I have employees who will lol.

    I am already having a blast in the clubby. Some think I downgraded from my bmw but they never drove a mini to understand it was an upgrade. I'm not even disappointed with it being automatic (I was skeptical at first). But I was able to hang right with an 06 mini s on a spirited drive.

    As for pics, im hoping its a nice weekend to give her a bath and find the right location to break out the dslr. Shes electric blue with black roof and rear trim. I have a place in mind that will suit her well but only if the weather plays nicely.

    There's a little good in every brand, depending on your driving style, experience, etc etc etc. I had a Mustang GT with a mind blowing suspension package, extremely sticky and very wide tires, and a little something something under the hood that would beat up on cars in the twisties that normal Mustangs couldn't dream of hanging with. So it really doesn't matter what you drive, as long as you love it and drive it within the parameters for which it's built and what you know you can do.

    But I fully agree with what you're saying, these cars are undeniably amazing and a complete blast to drive. Sounds like you've found a great machine.

    Yeah, probably a good idea. Like UFC paperview, but better.
