What Next?

[asaulo1]

Okay... just installed my magnecor wires (8.5mm) and am awaiting my k & n drop in filter element.... put in the 17 in. wheels/tires .... what's next? remember, we're on a tight budget now after the wheels..... exhaust? thanks for any input....

[MiniMan7]

Exhaust! Thats my next mod! I'm hoping for late August/early May for my exhaust to be fitted (most likely Magnaflow).

Those wheels and tires look good!
What kind are they?
What size and tire brand did you install on those?
Where did you get them?

Thanks for any info.

got them from wheelmax.com although I'd be a little weary recommending them... I can email you details if you'd like... anyway, they're awesome... they look like the kahn rss but 5 spoke which I really like.... let me know if you have any more questions....

motor on....

Late August/early May... good god man!

Anyhow, I will have the Magnaflow on the car for the D&B meet on April 26 in case you want to sample the tunes...

Are you not happy about wheelmax, the tyres or the wheels?

I ask as I am interested in the tyres and your opinion about them.

Thanks

Is smaple a Canadian thing??
From smaple trees maybe?

Sorry couldn't resist

You may know whack me about the head and shoulders

Yes, smaple trees are very common up here.

Is something bad about late August/early May? Ooops... , I meant late April/early May...

I was going to ask you for a ride at the 26th meet, to see what it sounds like from the inside. Thanks so much!

Oh and BTW, Chris at Mini Woodbride was telling me that someone is getting stiffer springs for their MCS and that they're selling they're old ones? Is that person you?

Yup, that's me... interested in H&Rs? They're simply too "street" for me... I've gotten used to driving on full race suspensions over the years...

[MiniMan7]

How much you want for the springs again? I think Chris said something around $350 or something, I'm not to sure. I might be interested, I'm not sure if I want springs though. But if they're cheap enough, then I might.

I love the wheels/tires... it's wheelmax that I'd be weary to recommend....

What exactly didn't you like about your wheelmax experience?

I'm not going to whack you about the head and shoulders know or even then but I have noticed you like to chime in on many of our Canuck threads. Are you coming to the MINI meet in Kingston in September? It's not too long a drive from Virginia and the smaples will be in their full colour (color to you)
