Back in June, I installed a GP Intercooler on my '06 R53. I had intended to do a detailed write-up, but didn't really follow through. So, I just took a few pictures along the way. Below are three that pretty much sum it up. Swapping the Intercooler isn't very difficult and can be done in about an hour if you understand the process. The first picture just shows the stock IC before removal, the second picture shows the newly installed GP IC. NOTE: one minor downside to the GP is that the spark plugs are covered by the additional rows along the top, so changing spark plugs will now require removal of the IC!! This really isn't a huge issue since the spark plugs aren't changed very often. The third picture is the finished install with a DDM Works air diverter installed atop the GP IC. Picture #1 - Stock IC Picture #2 - GP IC Picture #3 - GP IC with DDM Works Diverter

After the Spring Run a few weeks ago - my clutch and FW went south.... So - after getting the slave cylinder replaced and an aftermarket clutch and FW (Clutchmasters FX100), my shop cannot align the transmission.... Last year both clutch and FW were replaced by MoS under warranty....hmmnnn... this is never good...2 clutches in just over 1 year (by 1 week)... So - anyone have any ideas on where to get the right clutch alignment tool? the one shipped with the clutch is wrong, and a universal one doesn't work right either....

Started last night and finished up this morning. Rear fog, Parrott EVO, new switch cover and toggle. The entire process was not nearly as complex as it seemed reading all the tips posted by others on NAM. I'm sure most of you have already done the same things, but it really was fun. Hardest part was trying figure out how to disconnect the cables. Never seen connectors like those before. Jim

I thought I'd begin a thread for do it yourself modifications. This might be a great way to not only discuss the mods we have, but those which are easy enough to do on a weekend under the ol' shade tree. So, to start, I've installed a few mods on my MINI, and a few on others' MINIs. Being able to wrench on your own car is very satisfying, can save some money, and is a great way to learn your way around under the bonnet. Tell us your DIY stories! Pictures too, if ya got 'em
