This was done by Remus Chang at Motorsport Playground.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZAanUf6Wvtk/TsoXQapM8FI/AAAAAAAANlU/hvJl5TZan4k/s640/photo%2525203%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Still thinking whether to get the bonnet stripes done or not.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rEhDZ-BVSag/TsoZJ4GS5pI/AAAAAAAANls/e4fTu6d8me4/s640/photo%2525205.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Koni FSD's were way too soft for our roads. I did not feel comfortable with them. Eventually, I decided to give them up and go back to the stock dampers with some Tein H-Tech springs. Picked them up from Exotic Mods. These springs drop the car's height about half an inch. It doesn't seem much but when the springs settle, it looks pretty low. I now occasionally scrape bumps that are too high or dips that are too steep. Looks good though...<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dPmaToCR3u4/TsoYhJwUjcI/AAAAAAAANlg/O666zYhYxlU/s640/photo%2525202%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I've also went ahead and installed a CAI (Cold Air Intake). Got a nice Pipercross Viper Carbon Induction Kit and Alta Silicone intake hose. Can't say I feel much difference in terms of power, but there is a nice deep suction sound now when you floor it. The super charger whine is more distinct now too! Never fails to put a smile on my face.<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-TtajDIbalic/TsoapH0GRkI/AAAAAAAANmI/0vQlkBGctRQ/s640/IMG_6059%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now, the easiest way to get some more power, is to of course, up the boost! With the R53 Mini Cooper S, the way to do it is to reduce the size of your super charger pulley. Most people go for this, the ALTA V2.0 Supercharger Pulley with 15% reduction. Can't wait to get it fitted.<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QH2kU0cKrMA/Tsoew13h-8I/AAAAAAAANmU/9juminyPws0/s640/IMG_6068%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I'm also waiting to get this header I picked up from Eurotuner installed. This should help with "breathing".<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-B6g0kK2NDEI/TsogTf2PouI/AAAAAAAANmc/lX-x68aZIUY/s640/196927_198974570125160_140123626010255_559336_2472580_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I might pick up a Works Engineering lightened crank pulley too to help with response too. Till the next update!</blockquote>

How do you guys start your Gtr?

Dear All,

Just a question.

How do you guys start your Gtr?
Depress the Clutch and Start the Engine
or
Start the Engine without depressing the clutch?

Any difference for the above two methods?
