Default New member with 2010 Mini S

Hi there. I'm Kevin. Last weekend I purchased a 2010 mini S, in British racing green, with white roof, and white hood stripes. The car is in showroom condition with only 22k miles on it.

The car belonged to my girlfriends father (basically my father-in-law) who passed away in September. I had driven this car many times before I purchased it, but definitely feels different now that it is mine. We are keeping it in the family, and I'm sure he's happy someone is actually driving it!

I don't plan on doing a whole lot of mods to it, as it is going to be my daily driver for my 150 mile round trip commute (only 4 days a week). First thing is going to be a boost gauge, so that I can keep my foot out of the turbo as much as possible for fuel mileage on my commute. After that, I may go for the intercooler and blow off valve, but not sure. What do you guys suggest? And remember that maximizing fuel economy needs to be on the list with any mods I do.

I I have other vehicles in which i belong to forums for, and those forums have been a HUGE help. I look forward to finding the same type of community here!
