Hello all! New kid on the block!

Hello everyone!

My name is Mike but all my friends call me Ago. Nice to meet you all!

I have loved Mini's for a very long time and FINALLY was able to get one
Picked up a 2012 Cooper S and I am in love. This is the quickest most maneuverable car I've ever driven! I'm super happy any now that its been a little over two months I'm already looking to do some mods :O

So far this is what I have on my list of things I want to do
Exhaust (Thinking the innotech if I can find one.)
New wheels (I heard the stock ones can be heavy though I've never checked.)
Cold Air Intake

I'm not really familiar with cars but this is what I have found to be quick and painless upgrades that can give a nice boost in performance.

Anyway, I hope to get to know you all and look forward to sharing a passion :D

I'll post some pics tomorrow. Honestly nothing you haven't seen already. Just a bone stock Cooper S Hartop.

But not stock for long :p

Welcome

Wheels are a nice upgrade as the stocks are really heavy

But you said your looking for performance? Intake and Exh is not where you start as they won't give you any noticeable gains.

For power look at an intercooler, downpipe, or ECU tune those will give you Real gains.
