I have an R56 mini with an n14 and I want to get it to 300 hp, but I'm at a loss for what specific things I need to upgrade so the engine and transmission can both make and survive that power. I already know that I need full bolt ons, a bigger turbo, a better intercooler, better clutch, and...

Aptly named as my R56 currently sounds like a steam train! 🙈 I’ve been buying and selling cars long enough to know that you generally get what you pay for… On this occasion, heart won against head by first round KO. There were a couple issues on the test drive but I gambled and lost that...

Hi! Been meaning to do a project thread for a while now, not sure why I haven't. I've now decided that I had done enough to the car already to make a thread about it! So onto the car.. Bought in June 2016 from Romford for a semi-decent amount. I went for a mini as I liked the look of them...

I Thought it was about time i started a project thread, so hear are the details of how i ended up a mini owner and what i have been doing with it. After my girl friend learned to drive we decided it was time to get a half decent car, i'd have gone for something big with a big engine, but gf was...

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...

My EB R53 - Cooper S Hello all. Ive been around the forum for a while but never stared my own project thread yet. This would be my R53, not as good looking as most of your mini's but i am getting there :thumbup1: Any ideas for the car?
