Finally in a Mini

Hello all, my name is Jason and new to the Mini world. I have always liked Mini's but never have had the opportunity to own one. I almost bought a 92 Cooper a few years ago while I was stationed in Germany but it never happened. Well a few years later and now I am back stateside I found me a Pepper White and Black Clubman S R55 (hence the catchy username). So this being my first time in a Mini I do have some questions but they are technical somewhat so I will save em for the technical section. Enough rambling here are pics!

Coilovers, CAI, wheels, nice sounding exhaust (may muffler delete it) and I have been contemplating wrapping this thing silver with a white top, pillars stay black. I do want to auto-x this thing at some point.

Some great autocross guides on our site for driving technique, step-by-step upgrades, etc.! We have some championship-winning drivers on our staff. Let us know if we can help.
