Happy to be joining from Virginia
Hello from Virginia happy to be joining. just got my 2006 Mini Cooper S 2 days ago. Has a little over 112000 miles and is currently stock. What part of the forum do I go to to ask questions about the car have to replace the pressure plate so going to do a single mass flywheel conversion but don't know anything about the car yet. Hope you are all doing well

Welcome to NAM.

If you have not already done so, can I suggest you visit the Gen1 Mod - Drivetrain section? Should be able to pick up some good info on clutches there, and, remember that we would rather have you ask a question than ask no question at all.

Welcome to NAM! Congratulations on the purchase. Great year and color combination! Be sure to check out our tech article on clutch replacement (link to the articles is in my signature "DIY help"). If you need parts or have any questions along the way please be sure to let me know.

Hi and welcome to the NAM family. Looking at your BRG S, makes me a little sad, that I sold my BRG! They are kick *** little street go Karts, that handle so sweet and sporting the BRG makes it all that much better!
Congrats!

barely been able to drive it from clutch issue and now in shop getting that fixed but the steering feels great and reminds me of the s2000 i had before no dead zone and takes almost no steering input to take most turns which is how i like it cant wait to drive it this coming week. still wont be able to get on it though since will have to break in clutch :/
