    Hi,
    Figured I'd drop a line and hopefully meet some people motoring around NE Ohio.
    I picked up my Mini in December of 10' and quickly fell in love! Its an 02' liquid yellow/black top R53. As soon as the weather broke I ordered up a 15% pulley reduction. So far thats the only mod I've done or been able to afford. I've been to the local drag strip (Thompson Raceway) numerous times and have ran a 15.2 sec time at 92 mph. I've also been to a nearby road coarse (Nelson's Ledges) on a track day. It performed very well here and hung right with cars with quite a bit more hp.
    I plan on doing as many mods as my wallet will allow this winter, starting with the exhaust. CAI, injectors, 17% pulley or possibly a crank pulley and a tune to top it off.
