R50/53 Suggestions on Upgrades
Suggestions on Upgrades
So I have just become the owner to a (new to me) mini (here are some pics https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-mystique.html) I plan on posting up some later.
But my real questions is what is one of the first upgrades I should get. I do have some things in mind, and I want to keep it a Street Car but don't know where to start. I have already installed CAI from injen and sounds AMAZING esp. when going in a tunnel!
I just don't know where to go from here and since Winter is coming I want to plan more for the springs. ANyone have any suggestions where to start upgrading?

sense you just got it just, do maintenance stuff and reliability mods, then go to the power mods. make sure its running well first and then play with it.
i dont trust anyone when it comes to my cars so when i buy one(unless its brand new) i go through every square inch of the car and repair/replace things. even though they say they changed it. (yes, im that guy) im still in the process of doing that to my R53. i still want to to all the fluids(except oil) and my belt.
im not gonna do any power mods till i send my supercharger out to be rebuilt. but everything else is a go so far.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm one of those as well. And to be honest, I feel better replacing something than leaving it alone. I do need to replace some things but not too big. I think the coilovers are a good idea since I want to put new wheels and tires in the spring. What do you guys think about it having a turbo instead or a supercharger?
