hi all...

well ill start by saying in the next few weeks ill be picking up my 02 mini cooper s supercharged version with 48,700 mile on the clock, full service history, 12 months mot, 6 months tax, full leather, in the light blue colour (unsure of actual colour sorry) and just had a full service :D

so far ive decided on buying for it

K&N 57i induction kit
alta supercharger pulley kit
re-map

what else could i do to possibly gain some more power

on the list for a later date is a

full stainless exhaust system (unsure of make if anyone can point me in the right direction)
stainless manifold (same make as exhaust if possible)

for now that is all i can really say

thanks lee

Welcome to MINI2 Lee :)

Your colour is Electric Blue, which is the best colour of course :biggrin:

Keep an eye out in the classifieds on all MINI forums, some bargains to be had, look out for a Milltek exhaust & manifold, sound good, not too noisy either.

If you're going for more power don't forget about the brakes, they're not the best in the world, especially when upping the bhp.

All depends how much your modding fund runs too :wink:

The 4 pot Brembo's + discs are really good but fairly expensive (approx £800-ish)

A lot of people go for the (slightly bigger than R53) R56 Cooper S front calipers with Mintex 1144 pads, not sure on the price they go for but much cheaper than the Big Brake Kit:).
