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 a...

One of the things that I want to do is add some stripes, but the options from MINI weren't what I want. What I have in mind isn't terribly exotic or difficult, but what I'd really like to do is go to someone's shop and lay a template or test or something on the car to see if it looks like I thin...

Has anybody from DCMM personally installed the Ian Cull auto-up circuit before? How hard is it for a novice? is the final result totally concealed?

Just got an email from DINAN advertising a sale they have going. It's 25% off all MINI mods in stock. A little history might be necessary - DINAN has traditionally been a BMW tuner shop and they've done good things with 3,5,7-Series standard and M cars. So, when the new MINI came out, they dec...

If you're sick of those dang TPMS alarms going off - MoS has added nitrogen - the benefit is it keeps your MINI tire at a more consistent tire pressure and less vunerable to the vagaries of our always fluctuating temperature. Cost is $69.00 - the techs drained my tires of normal air last week a...

Is anyone running one of these? I just put one on in and I swear the throttle responce is quicker. I don't think it is just in my head. Engine note is also different. Very cool. Jim

Christina-JCW posted a topic in Maintenance & Modifications
:motor:Starbuck has had a bunch of changes recently, some inadvertently. Clutchmasters FX100 clutch and flywheel (FW): the most noticeable are the changes from the 13lb FW (vs. approx 26lbs for the OEM). Quicker pickup, changes in shift points vs road speed. Starbuck hates to be below 2... -
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.....

OK, now that I've started down the slippery slope of modding with the pulley, the CAI is next. Do I go with the Alta, the M7/DDM, or the JCW?

Just got the info through my friend performance shop. Wilwood is changing the hat design for clearing issue on MINI wheels. Starting to ship out next Friday. Jason.

I totally wasn't planning on this, but listening to the grit and debris bounce off the front of my car as I drive down the highway has really made me start considering getting some form of protective film for the front. And if I'm going to, now's the time before any damage has a chance to really occ...

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...
