That is exactly the reason why I started this thread. I saw something like this on other forums and it is amazing. Cheap mods are always nice to keep yourself busy and happy with your car.

I recommend the Torque Pro application. I bought it for about 4$, bought this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-OBD2-EL...item5af4d4d95c
Easy and Cheap way to read codes and delete them. There's also a lot of cool stuff to do with the Torque Pro application for Android. |

Under 100$.... i can fill my tank and drive about 200-280 miles... by far the best thing you can do for your car. P.s. i always fill chevron but mobile is pretty good too.

What do you mean by walnut blasting? That makes me think of what we did on DI Turbo MINI's for carbon buildup. Just curious. |

Clutch stop - $10
CDV Delete - $0-$100 (I took my car to a shop and had them bleed the clutch and brakes and replace with new fluid and was charged $80.) Best two mods that will transform the feel of your car for under $100!
