Hello all,

I recently purchased a 2002 MINI Cooper R50 with the intent to use as a commuter vehicle. Unfortunately, (depending on how you look at it) the "bug" has bitten and I am interested in my MINI way more than just an "A to B" vehicle. I have worked in the auto field for 3 yrs and I am currently attending school to better myself at advanced electronic diagnostics. I have had many projects from tuner to muscle and motorcycles. I have quite a bit of information at my disposal and I'm willing to share. I have some concerns with the MINI platform though as far as accessing and testing componets with a "generic" scan tool. At this point I have no viable way to operate or test the onboard electronics. All I can do is pull data, which is nice just not as helpful as I would like. Anyway, I would like to say thank you for setting up a great forum. I did join another forum and I was not very happy with the lay out or how to access information. Oh well I'm here now.

 

welcome to NAM. were glad to have u here

 

If you look around and seek out some of the performance tuning areas, you will get some insights.

The R50 is tunable and really does rock as a great MINI on the track and twistie driving.

Congratulations and enjoy.

 

Thanks!
