Just purchased a not exactly new 02

I had a 2004 Mini S that I had purchased new and loved it. Put 60,000 miles on it and decided hey this is a BMW, when things go wrong, this is going to get expensive. So I sold it and got a Scion XB box car which hauled all my paragliding gear alot better without scuffing everything up as it did in the Cooper. Now I have missed the car so much that I decided to go back so I found a non S 2002 with 68k on the oddometer.

Car runs great but I miss the HP that the S had. Whats the easiest and least expensive thing I can do to the regular Mini to boost the HP ?

Thanks out there

Rossimo

Start with the intake. It makes great power and Torque. Plus the throttle responce will be improved.
