This is my first posting, but have a question about what would be the best mods to consider next for my 03' JCW Mini. So far, I've installed a Quaife LSD (huge improvement), Mini-Madness rear sway bar (22mm) and short shift kit, and Kosei 16" rims with Azenis RT-615s. The idea is to keep things reasonable for the street, but improve performance for autocross (STX class). Things I'm considering are front adjustable camber plates, and possibly some engine mods such as a larger throttle body, headers, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Hey Swordfish.

I would go for the camber plates...for handling gains first.

I would then probably port and polish the head first for hp gains. Then if you want more hp and since you want to track...go and get a new camshaft...then do a larger throttle body. However, if you do go for the new cam and throttle body, you will need to upgrade your ECU software.

Best of luck!
