Newbie Here!
 
Hey everyone..my name is Brandon and new owner(sorta)..actually my gf’s daily and we are both gonna race it in HPD events. It’s a 2005 Mini S 6sp, stock at the moment we named Nugget. Next weekend it’s gonna be a completely new car lol. We are from Evansville, IN. Both first time Mini owners. Car is a blast to drive. Any suggestions for making the MINI experience better, I am all ears!

P.S Already has to put new power steering pump in 🙄

Hi and welcome to NAM, Brandon!
05 was a great year for Mini. It should make a great street/track car!
Show us some pics!

Welcome.

You have some light wheels and tires for the auto X? Other then that maybe a rear sway bar upgrade and some good pads and rotors for the event.

Welcome from a fellow Hoosier.:thumbsup:

For sure one of our rear sway bars would be the biggest suspension bang for the buck. And happy to help with anything else as we've built more R53s than I can count.
