I have an 07 with the big jcw brakes and they only make noise for me when I'm going in reverse. They do put out a lot of dust though.

Thanks for all the advce. Looks like tires for sure. I'll have a lot to think about after that.

I'll be getting good tires in the spring definitely, I was just curious if the lighter wheels will make a big difference or should I put my money somewhere else.

Hey everyone, just wanted to get some opinions. What would be a better option, lighter wheels that are 8 pounds lighter each or an upgraded suspension? The price would be the same for each.

I'm saving up for some upgrades in the spring. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I had an awesome time out there. Glad I braved the rain for this one. Too bad I had battery problems that cut my day short, but still had a blast. On a side note MINI is covering my battery under warranty so new battery for me! I'll see you guys in November.

I had a great time today, even in the rain. Luckily, it started clearing up toward the afternoon. you'll definitely be seeing me out at future events. Thanks to everyone who helped me by offering advice, riding with me, and letting me ride with them.

I'll be back in the fall after my son is born.

I'll have to do that. Thanks.

I like your errands...

Well it's a good thing I have all-seasons then. They're actually the only tires I have at the moment. I'm new...

Good news is at least my helmet came today...

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say hi...this will be my first autocross event ever, and I'm really looking forward to it. To bad the weather may be a problem. It will be awesome to really see what my MINI can do. I wish I would have found out about autocross sooner, it looks like a blast. See you tom...
