    now two things left will be to get a tune, and then figure a way to quiet it down a little.

    I never posted pics here, but decided to get a race header from Jan:

    with the way it fit, i had to remove the resonator in my mid pipe, so now the drone is just annoying. I dont really want to buy a new system tho, so maybe i can just find a smaller resonator to fit

    I am surprised the bolt didn't ground the wire enough. Glad to see you are moving forward.

    Wow, I bet that is loud. My ears hurt just looking at the picture!

    I bet it's fast as hell though.

    I only have the street header, and that was too loud with a magnaflow muffler up front, straight pipe, and Magnaflow in the back (JCW twin cans went on the back yesterday, can't wait to pick the car up this afternoon). I loved the sound with the straight pipe, and if I trailered my car, I'd keep it the way it is.

    Post what you decide to throw on there--Jan has recommended Coastfab in the past; they're worth giving a call, great people to talk to.

    Pffft just add some more camber up front and the rub will go away. Besides, additional front camber is always a good thing ! :D


    Car looks really good. I think MINIs are one of the few cars that can actually pull off white wheels.

    Seriously, add some camber. If you are at the stock 0, then you are missing out on a lot of turning fun! What are the specs on the wheels ?

    White or red mirror caps now....chrome = :eek:
