I have ordered some new goodies for my car - 06 MCS Chilli... Should be a nice package when all installed.

Bolt-ons oredered:
ALTA DFIC V2.0
ALTA Catch can
Screaming Daemon coil pack
Iridium plugs

Recently i've also done the following:
B&M Short shifter
M7 Strut tower brace
ALTA 3% Crank pulley
ALTA-nator reduction pulley
ALTA Lowered sports springs
ALTA silicon inlet pipes
K&N drop-in filter

Hoping for some more improvements across the power/torque band.

Next mods planned:
MTH ECU
Possibly a JCW airbox, if i can get my hands on it cheap!
Either Miltek/Ultrik or GTTuning headers and a new cat back arrangement

Should make a potent package, something the STi/EVO/SS drivers to look out for!

I thought ALTA had stopped making springs???

Sounds like an impressive aftermarket package there.

When changing the ratios that the SC or Crank spin at, the Alternator usually also spins at a higher than stock rpm. This i believe can promote shorter alternator life, so the ALTA-nator is a underdriven pully that returns the rpm close to stock.

A modded mini will still give those cars a good run, and the look on their face - priceless! hehe

True, that's the info i got too! I bought these from minimania.com, in one of their auctions - they were unsold stock, and made for 04 and later cars. I won them at a pretty good price too! US$75!!!
