Welcome to the asylum for Miniacs. It's a very happy place unless you are having problems with your MINI, then all hell breaks loose .

If you haven't already heard about the "magic switch" on the R53 (MCS), here's the entire kit for a reasonable price: http://bit.ly/bs5HNA This kit plus a high-volume CAI and new cat-back pipes will help your MCS breath harder, especially on those mountain roads. These mods alone will put you around the 200WHP mark. Epic fun.

Or just drive it "as is". Regardless, driving a MINI, you'll never be accused of being ordinary.

Welcome to NAM.

Be sure to wave at other MINI owners when you can.

How many miles on your MCS?

Now get out there and do some motoring.

mini magic

Well, my mini is already pretty magical, lol. When I got it it had 80k miles with Ow coilovers, alts cold air, 15% puppy, intercooler diverter, screamin demon coil.pack, wires(don't remember brand) colder ngk plugs, hsport control arms, alts rear swing arm, m7 plates, and aftermarket exhaust(don't know brand, looks like jcw ). There may be more, im still tinkering and exploring. Anyone have any sort of approximatioon of WHP I might be getting?
