I was reflecting upon my gorgeous Scarlet the other day and thought it would be fun to make a list of the stuff that I and MG Racing have done to the car...

List yours...this could be fun. If you didn't or don't modify your car, I would appreciate if you leave you snide and insulting comments outside of this thread (you know who you are)...

Post!

Here's my list...I'm probably forgetting a few things, will add them as I remember...

As a "Junior" member of the "Mod Squad", I look forward to gaining some ground on you guys. My wife, on the other hand, hasn't given a rat's ass about mods (considers it a waist of $$). She does, however; catch on after the fact when she sees the difference (or hears it in the case of the RM Cold Intake).

I have a list of desired mods includes engine bay, interior, and exterior "personalized type" stuff totalling to around $2K. I'll nibble away at it until I get it all, so sponsors: Be Patient, I'll support you (slowly).

The go faster/handle better mods have longevity/comfort trad-offs that I'm not interested in, but I fully understand and respect those who want "the best a stook can be" performance. (I'm in my 40's, already a Grandfather, and the stock S2K performance is good for me.)

My existing mod list is below. Keep up the good work.

 

WOW!
