RDG_RCR Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Came across a pretty good deal on an akropovic dp on NAM that I couldn't pass up. Arrived today and I installed in my driveway. Installation was a surprisingly easy, despite these gargantuan hands and only having rhino ramps. How do I like it? I'll put it this way...whatever buyer's remorse I may have had about dropping money on a car I didn't really drive anymore...was IMMEDIATELY wiped away the second I gave her a slight rev in the driveway. All smiles here, the flame has been rekindled between my mini and I. Awesome, they make great products!! Haven't seen you post in a while, welcome back.

Cambo Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Got my hands on a Mini Challenge full exhaust. Mounted right up to the dp with no issues (some guys on NAM were getting me worried about how it wouldn't fit to the dp without an adapter). Installation was a breeze in my driveway. Exhaust note is monstrous, especially mated to the akra dp. 2009 MCS - Passenger seat delete--Rear seat delete--Arm rest delete--Cup holder delete--Seat Belt Delete--Cup holder added back because coffee
Cambo Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 yeah...I wanted to get a quick sound clip but all the neighbors were home and probably having dinner about the time I finished. I'll take one this weekend. 2009 MCS - Passenger seat delete--Rear seat delete--Arm rest delete--Cup holder delete--Seat Belt Delete--Cup holder added back because coffee
Stephatron Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 yeah...I wanted to get a quick sound clip but all the neighbors were home and probably having dinner about the time I finished. I'll take one this weekend. Who cares about neighbors?!
Cambo Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 Some dude on NAM was selling his rear strut or stabilizer bar whatever he called it that mounts inside the rear of the cabin--pretty sure he made it himself lol but for 40 bucks I thought why not...don't even know if it actually improves handling... However, at the very least, it makes a nice place to rest the full size spare on :top: EDIT: here's pics of the exhaust too 2009 MCS - Passenger seat delete--Rear seat delete--Arm rest delete--Cup holder delete--Seat Belt Delete--Cup holder added back because coffee

Cambo Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Scored some super cheap projector headlights tonight. Dude on NAM was selling these and he just so happened to be in Germantown. small world! They're not HIDs...but even as halogen projectors, it's world's better than the stock halogen set up I had. plug and play made installation a breeze. 1 2009 MCS - Passenger seat delete--Rear seat delete--Arm rest delete--Cup holder delete--Seat Belt Delete--Cup holder added back because coffee

Lt. Dan Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Posted December 12, 2014 apparently my front tires weren't performing well in the rain anymore... replaced with a pair of Kumhos that should last until I get my new wheel/tire package this spring
