A common question.

Besides the above you'll need an S wiring harness and ecu at least.

It's been shown it's easier and less expensive to trade in the Cooper on an S.

Oh yeah, the tranny in the Copper would asplosde from the power too..

If you have a Cooper with a Midlands it will explode from the power, heck they fall apart if you look at em wrong. A Getrag in a Cooper can handle more power.

The work involved to make a Cooper into an S is not worth the effort. Look around here, there are MULTIPLE posts asking about the same thing.

Shift key broken?
