Hey there Guys. Girls.
My Name is chris, im 18 and my parents bought me a new 2009 Mini Cooper S. and im in love with it. but every now and then me and my older brother go to the drag strip and race them. im new to the whole modifying the mini thing so if anyone can help me. id gladly appriciate it. thank you very much

 

I moved this thread out of the off-topic autos to the more appropriate 2nd Gen Cooper S drivetrain modification forum. You should get more relevant hits here.

Welcome to NAM, btw.

 

rmw remap,forge or helix fmic, drop in air filter in stock airbox , catless downpipe and any 2.5 inch downpipe back exhaust.

 

Thank you. i was wondering. if i can up the pounds of boost on the stock turbo? anyway?

 

congrats

 

Thank you very much ngweibing

Been pretty happy with the stratmosphere exhaust http://www.stratmosphere.com/mini_exhausts.htm

 

Don't forget about that break in period before you go drag racing an R56, which kind of sounds silly to me. You definitely don't want to end the fun prematurely!

 

There is a drag strip section in the racing and competition area at the bottom of the forums. However, it does not seem like there are a lot of posts there.

 

As for the Stratmosphere exhaust.....Me too!!!

 

I know. i need to break it in. its at 6942 Miles atm.

 

If you have 6942 miles your fully broken-in

 

It sounds like you have money. So get a good 2.5 inch full turbo back exhaust, get a inclosed intake system (the jcw upgrade is good, but there are others) get Coil Overs, Sway Bar, Strut bar, Hard pipe IC tubes, A new intercooler, a Bov, A better turbo inlet tube, An Xbrace, A water meth system, then have a tune done, either by RMW or maybe ALTA will have theres done by then?? or not??

 

It sounds like mom and dad have money.

 

unnecessary Jeremy

 

Haha! My wife and I bought our first new car around age 40. At 18 I had a '76 Chevy Monte Carlo with a 350 motor that only made 135 hp It did have swivel bucket seats though.

At least now I finally have a drag car I can be proud of.

 

It isn't his fault his parents are successful. I would, and will do the same for my boys.

Go mod crazy GxChris!!! Enjoy, but most importantly, be safe!!

 

Thank you much phillyMCS

I will. it took us along time to be where my parents are. we werent always wealthy. we started living on the ground, my parents could not even afford a gallon of milk.

but enough about that. im going to get a Intake and a exhaust tomorrow. which brand would u guys recommend for those two

 

riss for exhaust and defenders of speed sells the only true cold air intake.

 

People have told me to get those first to start of (Cold air Intake & exhaust) right? or am i wrong?
