Hi everyone, i got my elipse gray 2012 MINI cooper s (r56) late December and have been moving around this forum constantly since. I've learned a lot of great stuff here, and just last week i decided to buy a rear sway bar since so many people recommended it. I installed it today and all is well so far. This forum has been a great help so far as I have been learning about my MINI and hopefully i will be able to help out others soon. Thanks!

 

Glad you are enjoying your MINI and NAM. The rear sway is a satisfying mod. Did you set it in the middle, or on the stiffest setting? I personally liked the siffest setting once I ditched my run-flats and got some stickier summer tires.

 

Welcome aboard and good luck.

 

I still have runflats, but they will need replacing soon so i am considering non-runflat tires. I would not want to get stuck somewhere if i had a flat so i don't know if i am going to make the switch. And as of now i am on the middle setting, but i hope to be moving to the stiffest setting soon. I am still a new driver so i did not want to go to the stiffest setting right away.

 

Welcome to the club and enjoy the mod bug! Since you've got one taken care of what's next?!?

 

I am not sure yet, but i would like to do something that increases power. I am looking for a cheap mod that I can do myself for I cant be spending a lot on modding yet. Hopefully I will figure it out soon.

 

Welcome!!
For my first few years of ownership, I did mostly interior bits to make the car more comfortable/usable, then did a few rellibility mods...
Then when my warranty was up...did power mods!!

 

Nice color!
