I left this off at the beginning because I didn't want to get ragged on :hahaha:, but I went with the automatic MCS with the paddle/bump shift. If I was to do it all again now, 6 months later, I would have stuck with a stick like all my previous cars, but I was thinking that the paddle shifters would be enough excitement for me. The paddle shifters are nice, but its not the same. So the long and short of it is that the shifter is not as big a priority for me :laugh: Also, not a huge car fanatic, so the general stuff (sway bars, CAI, exhaust) I know a bit about function and such, but things such as this, I am clueless. The only things I could find online were people selling these, no good descriptions of function

Those are a few of the things I have thought about. I have heard that a CAI is always a good thing to start with, considering it is a decent part to help your engine run better, and its a relatively cheap upgrade. Helix BOV? I am guessing BOV is a blowoff valve? I have no clue as to the importance/function of those, so you would have to give me a quick lesson

That's one of my pet peeves. I use my turn signal EVERYWHERE (picture me turning into my driveway with my turn signal on!!!) and it bothers me immensely when I see people not using theirs. I'm pretty sure there was never a year where turn signals were an option on Mini's, either. :security:

I joined up a week or 2 ago, I'll start checking the mail for my goodies!

A question for those of you who have experience with R56 mods. I drive a R56 MCS and am into acceleration and cornering above most other performance qualities. I know the Mini wasn't really meant to be a "quick off the line" car as much as other quick cars, but if I were to get one modification that would change my car the most noticeably for the better, what would be the best "bang for your buck" mod I could get? Preferably not along the lines of "Get the full JCW package!!!", but a more reasonably priced addition. Thanks guys and gals! :motor:

How do I go about getting these "club cards"?

Just curious. Again, being new at this Mini community "thing", what do you guys/gals mean when you say "tagged" such and such? That just mean you saw it, or is there more to it? :questionmark:

Looks good! So the kits replace the 2 reading lights and the center dome light?

Has anyone changed their interior lighting to any of the LED kits, like the one Mach V offers? http://www.fastmini.net/ledinli.html If so, do you like it? Is it worth it? If anyone has any pictures of the changed lights in their mini, please let me see!
