mods

Hello, Just purchased a 2012 JCW Hatch and LOVE it! Ginny (that's her name) is fast but looking to amp her up a bit. Does anyone know of a good Mini tuner in the Washington, DC area? Many thanks! -B

Hi all, this is my first post on this site so i'd just like to say alo. Currently driving a Mini One, 55 Plate and wanting something with a bit more "umph" and a bit of a project. Currently 18 years of age and i am very interested in the thought of me driving about in a Mini Cooper S R53. The...

Hi guys, I've recently brought a JCW. Already getting used to the car looking to change the intake system first but I'm not sure which one to buy? Also plans for the future to get my jcw around 280-300 bhp if that's at all possible? What modifications would I need to achieve this? Last...

After loving MINIs for years, I was lucky enough to get a facelift Pure Silver 2005 R50 One 2 years ago for my 17th birthday. I never intended to modify the car at all, I wanted the car to look like it came out the factory. I slowly started changing my mind, changing a few little things like...

Well, after some thinking and a few mods I've started modifying my '06 JCW R53. Big mods started some weeks ago when I ordered the 4-2-1 with 100 cells cat to Mini Motorsport UK. I also got the 225hp remap soon to fit a camshaft. Hope to get after that around 235-240hp. Dry battery's been...

This project was meant to be different from my half arsed attempts in the past. The saxo's and the r5gtt's that went before it always ran out of money and were sold on before I had a chance to finish them. I've almost hit a wall with this one already but the mods will continue coming as long as...

Hi Guys I'm new to the forum but wondered if anyone had heard of either Tapatalk or Fourm Runner mobile apps on here? Forum Surfing on your mobile eats up you Data allowances but these apps allow you to surf forums faster without doing so. I've use them for the R32OC, SeatCupra.net and...

Well as my first modified cylinder head is on my engine already, and I didn't take any pictures, I thought I best take pictures of my second cylinder head before and through my process of modification to installation, so here are a few photo's in it's stock form as I received it. Exhaust...

Hi guys, I thought I would post a thread of the story of my car. I purchased the vehicle brand new back in 2003 for fun run around town. It was a dead stock Cooper S. This is what it looked like back then. After having the car for 2 odd years, I started to get bored and wanted to change...

I'd heard rumours of 40+ MPG. Last three tanks I've only managed between 32 and 34 (not including the 9.9 I got round Bedford :laugh:). I've not been caning it everywhere either - this has included at least 150 miles of motorway. Anyone noticed a difference with the sport button on or off? I...

Joined the other day for work, and I noticed MT is on Twitter, but doesn't have any tweets at the moment. Not sure who owns the account, but thought it might be worthwhile feeding the MT forum RSS feeds into the Twitter account, so it tweets new posts automatically. This is the site we use for...
