Hey, I was just curious I'm new to MINI's and I was wondering what there is out there as far as modifications for the Mini Cooper. Is there a way to supercharge the regular Mini Cooper, and are my options if I purchase a regular Mini Cooper. I'm looking at both a Mini S and a regular Cooper, only problem is the only S's i can afford have alot of miles so im looking into a regular Cooper, but I want something I can build off of. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Supercharging or turbocharging the Cooper engine haven't proved feasible as the engine internals aren't beefed-up like those in the "S".

Tuners offer kits up to about 150hp for the Cooper ... so you'll never attain "S" power levels.
