Hi all, this is my my 1.3mpi mini cooper S.

Still undergoing modifications, list of whats been done so far...

Engine wise, lightly breathed on with a K&N & a full maniflow system

Chassis wise, adjustaride HI/LO's all round, spax gas shocks, adjustable tie rods, neg 1.5deg camber bottom arms.

On the list, is a stage 3 head, 1.5:1 roller rockers, 13x7" superlights, 4pot brakes & rear disc conversion & jack night gearbox.

I will get some better pictures up soon.

Is it a cooper s? if the answer is a yes they already have a stage 3 head , a word to if wise if you to go quickly don't go for the 7x13's , too heavy stick with 12''s on some decent 165 tyres or even drop to 10's for some real fun!!

Very nice mate, in the best colour too!

I would also advise against the 13s, they do look good but they kill the handling. I've got some Yoko A048 165/55R12's on my standard wheels, the grip and handling is awesome, far better than my cooper sport ever was.

My ears are still ringing from the drive back last nighthehe
I think I'd agreee with the better tyres option, it seemed abit skittish
