My name is Payton. I just recently bought my wife a 2007 mini S. it is for sure one of the most fun cars I have ever driven! I come from the world of diesel performance and an interested as to what you guys do to modify these? Hers is a 6 speed and bone stock. Where did you all start? Exhaust, tune, bigger chargers, nitrous, pulleys, clutch and shift kits? Any steering suspension upgrades? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
Personally I would first replace the runflat tires and factory wheels with something much lighter thus reducing the amount of unsprung weight. Next would be a 19mm to 25mm rear sway bar and then go out and drive it like you stole it.
Thanks for the advice already givin. What are people doing as far as chargers? Big single. Twins? And a newb question here. Where mine is an 07 S what motor is that? I've read things like r56 and r53.
Is it a hard top or convertible? If hard top it is an R56 and is turbo. If convertible then it is an R52 and is supercharged.
