Exactly! It was 68 today so I took advantage of the warm sun. Completely stripped the deck lid, and finished with some CarPro Eraser. Meanwhile, left the spoiler in the sun to let the tape warm up.

Worked out very well :dblthumb2:

92 in Tampa and humid as all heck!

And the lip spoiler looks great.
 
Well, got over 200 miles on the car post tune... everything feels awesome :dblthumb2:

When things settle down from my crazy schedule I will be doing the short shift kit, etc.
 
Glad everything is great with the new ride! Wait to you install the short throw kit, it makes it feel like a new car, it did with mine and can't get over it 🏁

Yeah, I did them on the MINIs and it helped a lot. Also going with a nice, weighted shift knob :xyxthumbs:
 
Looks really clean with that spoiler!

We wanna know numbers!!! Havnt you heard the old saying. Secrets secrets are not fun, unless you share them with everyone!!
 
I agree, I wanna know the numbers as well. Doesn't sound like it's anything to be embarrassed about 😇

LOL you guys are funny....

Ok, so I was about about 200 at the wheels stock.

I now have like 251? Keep in mind this was on a Mustang dyno, better known as the "heartbreak" dyno. They tend to read a good 20hp low.

Not bad for real power to the wheels.
 
Bowing to peer pressure, LOL🇰🇷

Those are great numbers, what was the torque before/after?

3400 pound rwd, Id say not. Looking forward to what your doing though, that platform is exciting!
 
I never heard the Mustang dyno called a "heartbreaker" but either way, a 50 whp and 50 wft/lbs of torque gain with the tune is a great way to start. Now I know you talked about wanting to do an axle-back and if its a better designed system than stock you'll get a slight bump there, the intake would be a step over that. Not sure how DP's are for you car, but a high-flow cat would really help things along with any turbo car, a cat-less is best but that's sometimes more headache than its worth.

I'm going to make a prediction, right here, right now. Within 5 years I see this car with an upgraded turbo and FMIC and full exhaust :dblthumb2:

I still would like to do the exhaust and a CAI. DEFINITELY better tires.
I'm not really sure what else I will do performance-wise. Doing more than that starts to make the car "obviously" modded to the dealership. It also adds headache for possible issues you deal with doing other things (like deleting a cat, etc).
My car already comes with high-flow cats for the manufacturer btw, so I'd have to delete one to have gains there (aka- the test pipe).

Yup, it's called that, but either way I had great gains... speaking of, I'm looking at the print out and my torque went from 193 to 241 :dblthumb2:
 
That's cool that it has hi-flow cats already, more mfg's should do that. I understand what your saying about the dealership and running into issues there, maybe after the warranty runs out....oh wait, it's 10 year/100K 😎

LOL right?!
I'm more concerned with just keeping the car nice. The MINI became annoying to drive. This car is such a nice balance of a nice ride but sporty, I just don't want to F that up.
 
Ordered a new shift knob for the Coupe.
The stock one is kinda crappy. I ordered a nice, weighted one :dblthumb2:
