RE: first mods??
 

underdrive pulley for the Supercharger is the best bang for the buck...

%'s???
 

wuts the difference between the 15%, 17%, and 19% supercharger pulleys?

Size of the Pulley and amount it overdrives ... the JCW uses a 14% pulley , I went with the 15% for now as it requires no additional mods the higher ones need additional mods to support it

By any chance does anybody know if there is a company that makes a cold air intake for a R50??

first engine mods
 

Are the $2k stage II kits any good or is better to select mods seperately? I already see 15% pulley is best borla exhaust is to much, which cpu and which intake is best? My first mini, this looks like fun bought a 64 bug brand new and loved building it.

Most of the time the seperate parts can be had cheaper then the kits ...
