    Hi, I'm Mike from Franklin, TN. I have a 2004 Cooper S and I love it to death. It is mostly stock, just some coilovers and an intake are the main things with some different wheels and tires for the track. I do have a 15% pulley on the way and hope to get a lot more soon as well. Here are some pictures!

    Hope you all like!

    Welcome Mike. Curious, how much faster is the MINI than the Yaris on a lap? :Thumbsup:

    The Yaris would beat the Mini in the turns BUT as soon as the turn is over....Mini owns. My Yaris was putting down quicker times than the Evos and STIs on real technical courses during autox but it really lacks at road racing.

    Actually that's surprising. Good thing MINI didn't challenge the Yaris to a race back in June :incazzato:
