Howz it?

Hi! I'm new to this so here it goes. I got a 2003 MCS Red with white top that has a checked board on it, and so is the side view mirrors, bought it used at Crevier had 6M miles on it and I just pasted 10M, It came with the adjustable Koni's and I just bought BBS for it.(pics posted) I'm thinking of getting JCW or Dinan, I just have to read more of the forum I guess to find more input!

There was an interesting thread about power per dollar last week. DrObnxs posted his list of power enhancing goodies and estimated costs. He was careful to state that these estimates were not definitive so you might consider them as a guide. An interesting point was raised about the limitation of power enhancement as the prime method to achieving better performance. For example, what about weight reduction (especially with wheels and tires) and handling modifications? And probably the most effective way to achieve better performance in any car is to graduate from a performance/racing driving school. Welcome to NAM.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you already have a very cool car as is. I am fairly new myself here so I can only suggest to search the "under the bonnet" threads in terms of power upgrades.
Cheers,
H

welcome!

Welcome to the board! I am relatively new myself and have gained so much knowledge about these cool little cars in such a short period of time. The folks here on NAM are a valuable resourse. To get you started on performance mod options for the mini, check out Randy Webb's website, he gives a good overview for some of the more common modifications.
