What's new on your Cooper S!
 
Thought i'd start a thread to post recent/new mods

So, i'll start the ball rolling...

B&M Short shifter
Alta silicon inlet pipe
K&N Panel filter
Alta-nator 5% pulley
Alta 3% oversided crank pulley
M7 STB
MSD ignition pack
Kingsbourne wires
NGK Platinum plugs
Alta V2.0 IC
Alta lowered street/sport springs
Ditched runflats for Kumho KU31's

I've had the Mini now for just over a year, and couldn't help myself :razz: Just recently started modding.

Future plans are for:
JCW CAI
Possibly a 15% reduction pulley
Performance header of some type - possibly Ultrik, GTTuning etc...
Headjob/cam
Larger throttle body...

I used to own a 86 S4 RX7 as a hobby car, spent massive amounts of $$ i sold it to get the Mini, and told myself i wouldn't modify it... haha FAT CHANCE:lol:

Post away!

If you are going to do the RMW head you would be better off in going with his exahust and header also which would work best with his head. :)

man i wish... the s's hood is beautifully designed . to make a shaker ala nodder as ob calls it will take a very nice design so it doesn't look too american muscle . or maybe that would actually be the way to go as an american would be the only one to think of it . i think it was bamabart . maybe a nice aluminum tear drop .:thumbsup::thumbsup:
