New guy from Mexico

Hi everyone, just bought a MINI (no S) as my daily driver, im a big car nut with special interest in high performance. My other car is a 2K mustang GT with tons of mods, which i will now be mostly using for shows and racing (http://www.allfordmustangs.com/photo...500/ppuser/93).

But i would also try to get a bit more out of the non-S mini, at least try to get 150HP out of it if possible and also improve the suspensio.

Well, thats about it. i will post my Qs in the appropiate forum, and possibly contribute with some of my knowledge.

Bienvenidos al tribu GTRAPTOR;

Si quieres 150 caballos, recomiendo que buscas un "S". En realidad se puede buscar arriba de 225 hp sin mucho esfuerzo si tienes un MCS. Referente a la suspension hay muchas suplidores de resortes y amortiguadores: Koni, H-Sport (Hotchkiss), H&R, Bilstein, Tein, etc.
La mayoria de nosotros quienes modifican nuestras coches estamos muy contentos con el MCS, es un pequeno "super car".
