Performance upgrades

I already have on my MC: exhaust, intake, and a chip. I was wondering what the next step is to adding performance. I am looking to spend around $1200. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, where i can find suggested parts. Thanx.

WHAT COMPANIES DID YOU USE FOR THE STUFF YOU ALREADY HAVE AND HOW DOES THE CAR FEEL AFTER WHAT YOU DID.

Yeah, I'd be interested in what companies you have/their effect on the cars performance too. I just got my MC a couple weeks ago and I'm already wanting more power... uh oh

Anyway, I think Mini Mania (minimania.com) has a turbo in the works. It will undoubtedly cost more than $1200 (probably more around $6000 or more ) but with it you'd be eating MCSs (and a whole lot of other stuff) left and right!

Wet NO2 kit

Not too many more options for you just yet from a "go faster" point of view. Plugs/wires/fluids/wheels is about all i can think of. Maybe there will be a throttle body in the future....
