Saw italian job this morning at 1009 am on gideon drive,was nice weather im suprised your top wasnt down. :motor: Couldnt get close enough because of traffic. :motor:

Its a helix stepped core intercooler. I would like to get $400 for it. New they are around $750. No mounting hardware required,no modification required, fits in the same mounting points as the stock one.

Greetings, I am returning my 09 mcs back to stock form. Any interest in purchasing my aftermarket intercooler before i put it on north american motorings website? I can supply pics if you like.

I am not so sure about the stealth part but i would say get an rmw tune for your 07. There is an older thread from when some of us had gone up to mach v motorsports to get our minis tuned by mr. jan b (cant spell his last name) In my opinion it may be the best bang for your buck mod. He plugs in his laptop to your mini,waves his magic wand and poof you have a beast. :top:

Can I shoot some film? I just need a blank vhs tape. :embarassed:

:congrats:

I saw this in DC this morning on lanier street nw just behind my shop. It was loaded on a rollback so who knows what else was done.

I recently purchased a smartphone so I tried to link it to the mini so i can use the hands free option while driving(bluetooth droid x2 if that matters ). All went well until the center console of the mini asked for a passcode # or something like that. I thought the number was supposed to be in the owners manual but I cant seem to find it. Suggestion/help please.

I have run flats for tires atm. So im open for suggestions when its time for some better rubber. :motor:

Ding! :top:

I could put my hand on it and show you but the hubby would not approve so its aka..seat of the pants feel.

I don't believe in the butt o meter either :motor: What I can tell you is that I did not buy the larger ic for a performance improvement but more of a cya because after the rmw tune higher boost means higher temps so for an extra added safety factor and piece of mind for me. As for boost..no idea no gage yet..thats next on my list. I do not detect any noticable turbo lag probably due to the fact that smaller turbos spool faster than larger ones.The ic claims less than 1/2 psi boost loss across it so thats quite good. What I can say is under moderate acceleration in 2nd gear 60 mph comes quickly it feels and pulls strong,under hard acceleration it smokes the tires. You catch me at another dcmm event we can go for a ride and see how it makes your butt feel.

Helix

Aftermarket installed... no cutting or drilling required,direct bolt in.

This is what the stock intercooler looks like from an 09 mcs.
