Do lightweight wheels/tires count? They're 18"s though...

Whatever.

So far only an aftermarket air filter for my baby. That and the little "Italian Job" knob for my antenna.

Boy does that make it feel faster or what? Have the rest of you noticed much faster your MINI feels after you install the "Italian Job" knob? It is unbelievable!!!!

Motor on, Dudes and Dudettes!!!

I have a Magnaflow exhaust, Rogue Engineering cold air intake and H&R springs.

I am hoping to get a 15% reduction supercharger pulley by next summer when maybe someone around here can do it and I don't have to drive 8 hours to have it installed.

Actually, yes.
Not as fast as that magnaflow makes me go, though.

will be going soon with the Cryogentic intercooler cooling system along with there air intake cooling system. As for the Nos might go with a Sneaky Pete set up Just incase I run into Minime S. Oh btw Minime S. are you going to get a New head or going to have the current one Blueprinted, ported and just plain smoothed out.

I'm still up in the air about the head. Don't want to tie the car up again. Was hoping someone came out with a complete head for less than 1800.00

Some work!! Saw one at BMW dealer ship and looked like it could use ALOT of work. Would est. about 5hrs or more to get most of it straighten out. Of course thats With using just a dremal. Now the JCW head is much better but still has a way to go. So JLM like Minime. im waiting for someone like you to do the work. Just dont want the downtime of removing my own head and getting the work done just to find out ive removed a little to much after having it magnafluxed. So keep Minime and Mugami in mind if you manage to allow a few Heads to come out of the Lab.

I don't want the down time either, so I bought an extra head. after I get it done and on my car, I can set up do a reasonable turnaround.

MacnCheese posted a few pics of the barehead.
