The new guy!

Hey guys, names Blake. New to the mini family but have always been interested in putting my style into one someday. Purchased an 06 regular mini (not an S :( ) but am looking to start off with the small things that won't kill my part-time pocketbook. I've looked into G-force chips, some different intakes and header/exhaust kits but was wondering what else I can do to get a little more here and there from the wee little engine I have! Any and all tips are MUCH appreciated.

Welcome! I have an '06 Mini, too. While it certainly doesn't have the power of the S it is still quite peppy and fun to drive. The general opinion is that an '06 Justa is really a good choice. Try looking at minicar parts.com or mini mania.com for some ideas for mods.

Welcome, start with an intake it's the biggest gain for a non S.

Welcome Blake to the NAMily and grats on your Justa!

You will find Blake that a Justa is a great car... C'mon its a MINI so its all good!

Though the Cooper may give up a little to its more powerful stablemates (the Cooper S, JCW, and GP) it is still every bit a MINI and fun to drive and in capable hands can be very quick.

So now that you've joined us MINIacs you need to share with your brothers and sisters here on NAM and post-up some pics of your Justa, cause we love pics... yes we do!

May your road be filled with many smiles and may you and your MINI have many miles together... Don't forget to wave!

Motor On!
