Hi all,
I thought I'd throw a question out there and see what you all think. Of course this question is theoretical, but it might help people in deciding what path of modification to take. So... Given an unlimited supply of money, what one modification would you make to your MINI(especially MCS

)?. Tuning kits are included.

obehave · Jan 18th, 2005, 01:32 PM

Pulley, ECU reprogram.
Pick your tuner. Everyone will pimp their faves anyway.

And if you had unlimited funds why would you do only one mod????

NeoTheOne · Jan 18th, 2005, 03:09 PM

Can i have 2? Turbo and gearbox?

bigbaddaboom · Jan 18th, 2005, 03:35 PM

Probably ceramic brakes...but maybe CF body panels all round....aw heck...one mod?! that ain't fair

your wheels are the one mod i'd reckomend from the off, they'll totally add a new dimension to the look of your car if you get the right set. most people go for this before any other major mod.

my top 3 is still gonna be:
1) sway bar
2) pulley
3) tires w/ VERY light wheels

Power mods In order:

19% pulley
15% pulley
GIAC ECU

A pulley is a must-have. It will transform the vehicle (esp the 19%). The GIAC will really complete the transformation

An unlimited supply of money?

Drop an M3 engine in for sure

Are you looking for "show" or "go" mods?

Easy one......convert all four spindles/wheels to a one nut set up..........

jocary · Jan 24th, 2005, 02:35 PM

1. pulley
2. exhaust
3. intake
At the rhode Island dyno day in September I beat even the JCW cars. Showed 211hp cold and 197hp hot. Take your pick and spend what you want. It's an addiction
