2003 Mini Cooper S
• 6 Speed Manual
• Supercharged
• Tactfully upgraded (see list below)
I’m 46 years old and take great care of all of my cars. I have all records including the invoices for the performance upgrades as well as the owner’s manuals. Clean title in hand.
I bought this car in 2008 and used it as a commute vehicle and loved it. I started adding upgrades to improve handling and performance. I spent over $27,000 on upgrades, listed below, completed by Bay Bridge Bimmers & Minis. The car is now making 300hp but is still reliable and very good on gas because it’s only a 1.6 Liter Engine.
I’ve taken it on the track a few times and it’s an absolute blast! Lately my son and I have been sharing it for weekend drives as it is the best handling car we’ve ever owned. I’m selling because I just bought a Tesla for work and running out of room in the garage.

A head, camshaft, and intake/exhaust is not going to make 300hp. You're probably making 240hp at the crank.

he said it would run well again his sons " supercharged s2000". I could see that easily happening on twisties but what about straitline ? I doubt the mini would hang with even a mild bolt on s2000 straitline.

I would say that a stock R53S or a stock R56S would be able to keep up with a S2K for a bit. A tuned R53/6 would definitely be able to hassle a S2K.

Look , here's a supercharged one on YouTube, supercharged the correct way too as your not just gonna throw on a supercharger on it with no supporting mods. This cars running mid 11s.. FRICKING MID 11S !!!!!! show me an r53 running 11s and I bet it's has nothing less than a full build , nitrous and meth , fully gutted and track tires , then I bet it might might run a low 12 high 11..

By the numbers, they're a lot closer stock than I had imagined. Let the bench racing continue!
