    Haha thanks guys! I appreciate any kind of feedback, so there's no need to be gentle here ;)

    I've also ordered a pair of 2.9 axles from driveshaftshop.com because of the vibration after lowering the car. I hope they will hold up and eliminate the problem.

    I'm also looking for another set of wheels. More race inspired like the Compomotive TH 1780 or something similar.
    I want to be able to track this thing without any issues, so I'm therefore looking for a less aggressive set of wheels.

    My fuel pump also broke down the other day so I ordered a new one from ECS Tuning. Don't know if that was the cheapest place to order from, but my personal experience with ECS is top notch after ordering parts for my previous S4 2.7 biturbo.

    BTW, I think those wheels look great.

    However, that MINI needs M/A Stickers cause no other MINI in Norway has some. PM me your address and if you would like a white a silver background. I'll send some over.

    Bump

    Famguy, I noticed you said you upgraded to the 2.9 axle due to the vibration. I know this is last year but how has it held up? Any response is appreciated! Thanks

    Nice looking car. Those wheels look like some I used to see on the 928. Welcome to M/A!
    You need to find a new decal guy though... can't spell Hooligan! :D
