is it too late to say i've got my stock cat back, that was cut after the 2nd cat?

Saw "il duce" parked at the wegmans in Waugh Chapel this evening.

I followed a jcw r56 black/red roof on kw suspension through historic ellicot city last saturday. Anyone know who it was?

I'm going too. May or may not register though, depends on how lazy I am lol. But I need a place to crash. Anyone have a couch or floor space for me? Not picky and don't even need a whole room.

IIRC I did mine the same and RichSperry. The DV sound through the intake is higher pitched and I do think I noticed a slight drop in mpgs. Hard to say really as I haven't been driving it as much (going about 2 weeks between fill ups), and when I do, I tend to have a lead foot (it's so much fun to spin second from a roll ).

I'm interested in the shocks/springs. I take it you want the stock ones to swap straight to. Pm me so we can set something up to swap them out.

I'll be heading back towards home - Rochester/Lake Ontario Ny.

What are you tring to run off it?

That's cool, I was just gonna take them apart and check them out. I've got 3 sets for the mini anyway. Good they went to someone who'll use them.

I'm a sucker for free wheels and am very tempted. These are the 2 piece ones right?

Went on a nice drive this afternoon with some friends. Got a few decent pics, here's a rolling shot:

Because less material costs more to make? ::shrug::

I tagged a pw r56 jcw up in Syracuse over the weekend. Just saw it sitting in the mall parking lot and figured, what the hell?

I'm in bowie/greenbelt, but I could meet you in like columbia or something if you wanted. I have a custom catback on mine. 2.5" with chambered resonator and magnaflow muffler.

Thanks Christine, my parents will love them!!!

Thats all you got for a gain Craig? My stock (intake, catback) r56 gained 17hp and 32lbft up at helix! But to the op: Best bang for the buck would be a tune for power, and springs and a swaybar for handling.

Had an awesome time guys. Only downer is that my voice finally died this morning. Made for a pretty quiet drive home lol. Ended up with a final tally of 2230 miles for the whole trip. Prolly about the equivalent to the number of bugs that are plastered on the front of the mini lol. I took a ton of pics and I know Deanna has already gotten some up on facebook, I'll get people tagged prolly by the end of the week.

Sorry Haemish, Hendrick mini here in charlotte doesn't have them.

Where are you located? If you are in the pg county, md area, I could do it for you.

I'm in Charlotte, NC and leaving tomorrow, I'll check with them before I go.

Are they in Edgewater with Ed? I'll pass this on to my parents.

Just saw a GP with I think va tags that read JCW GP. Saw it on 193 turning off Goodluck Rd. Tried to catch it in my bmw, but had to turn to get home too quick.

Well darn, I'll be 6 hours away in another portion of NY for my cousin's wedding that weekend.

Awesome news! I take it there will only be a dusk (or maybe just evening) on the dragon, since it looks like midnight is out of the question.
