2007 Mini Cooper S

[Juan Polanco]

Hello All,

I just inherited my dad's mini cooper s and I though it would be a great car to get started into the whole performance/tuning world. I have no idea how to make my way around an engine but I have a mechanic friend who'd be willing to teach me and help me work on my car.

I was wondering if you guys could tell me what would be a good way to get started improving my mini? What would be the cheapest and most discrete way to turn my mini into a little beast?

Thanks for your help.

Juan

Some people like to start with cold air intake and exhaust. How is it running now? Does the car have a standard or automatic?

Exhaust, CAI, decat, remap, brakes (very important)

Be prepared to spend loads of money on parts, labour and rising insurance premiums!
