Cooper S mods

[colinrob]

I've just ordered a cooper S (did have a cooper) are there any mods that can be done to the engine for more power, I can't afford the works conversion but would like more power any ideas?

[Paul V]

There are number of companies doing 200 bhp conversions, price seem to start from £1500 but they will invalidate the warranty.

on the other hand, most offer their own warranty

[Paul V]

Yes but only for a year, the BMW warranty is 3 years so I thought maybe have it done after 2 years.

I quite fancy waiting for one to come off Chilli (and finally depreciate!) and then speak to MiniSpeed about their 265 conversion!

You may want to take a look at the November edition of Evo magazine in which there is a test of 10 modified minis.

[Paul V]

Looks like the BBR conversion is a good choice.

I' ll go and buy a copy of Evo
