General MINI TalkShared experiences, motoring minutes, and other general MINI-related discussion that applies to all MINIs, regardless of model, year or trim.
I've been a hot rodder since 1957 and have done every modification that you can think of and some that you couldn't even dream up on ALL sorts fo cars and,by far, the easiest and most cost effective thing you can do for the most enjoyable ride is to add a sprint booster and a JB tuner. 10 minutes of work and $500 worth of parts(which you can resell easily later), no tuning hassles,no EPA inspection problems, etc.,etc. I wish someone told me this years ago as I could have chased a different hobby.
Mine is doing what MINI should have done, painting the S on the SC inter-cooler RED.
Haha, that was the first "mod" I did to my R53 way back in 2003. A bit of red enamel paint and a steady hand, and it added a splash of color under the bonnet.

The best, least expensive mod I did was installing a new $40 lower engine mount in my automatic R55. It got rid of nearly all the rocking when transitioning between accelerating and decelerating. It's so much smoother now and made my Clubman feel like new again. It's an OE rubber one. I am going to put a some silicone in it to firm it up just a little, but it's really good as-is.
