Greetings All. Noob who just bought a 2002 Mini which I've discovered is an R50. Looking to gain some knowledge and do some things.

Thanx

Pictures, damn it, pictures! Without pictures, it didn't happen. The very best initial mod you can make, unless it's already been done, is a stiffer RSB and performance struts. Either KONI FSD or Bislein. Don't worry about increasing power. As one wag stated on his signature line: "If you can't go fast with 90 horse power, 900 won't help you." Oh, and enjoy the heck out of your new ride.
