hello everybody, i just got into the mini scene. i bought a 2005 mini cooper cabrio for my wife and a 2006 cooper s for myself. i am curious to know which mods are working out the best. i traded my nissan 350z in for my cooper s and it was extremely modified it dynoed at 385hp at the wheels, but i love the way the mini handles. i would like to get my mini s to about 250hp. if you have any ideas please let my know thanks.

Welcome sdreeser

Search the forums, I'm sure you'll find more than enough info to keep you busy. Post some pics of your MINI family.

Enjoy the ride

I've been reading up on mods for quite a while. I can tell you that if you are looking to get 250hp at the wheels, your best route is to twin charge, otherwise, it will be very costly (probably so much that you could have bought a 911 or Boxster S).

Good luck. Just remember not to trust the venders with their numbers, which I think at times are quite optamistic .
