Newbie Intro

New to the forum and wanted to start here. I'm the happy new owner of a 2002 Mini Cooper S. 80k, records since new, very very clean car. DDM tuning cold air intake, M7 16% supercharger pulley, and M7 2% underdrive crank pulley are the only mods. It really runs and drives very well, I have a few minor issues to sort out and I'll enjoy it largely as is.





I'm a Porsche guy at heart, but picked up the MCS because I need something affordable right now. I previously owned a 2004 Cooper, the S does a good job of remedying the lack of power. It will replace a 2002 Audi S8 as my daily driver and I'm hoping to do some autocross, though I've said that for several years now and haven't gotten off of top dead center.
