You know you drive a mini when you look back at it everytime you park with stars in your eyes.

I really like the methanol setup !! Everything you did was right on the money . The video was also well made .

[adropzone]

As sophisticated as it is serious, yet subtle and professional grade. Wow!

I don't know man
I have a r56 s too
I have really weird feelings about the car
What you did on yours is what everybody always wants
U know I can't describe it.
I love it. But I don't know what it needs.
For its price range it's so good on the one side. It really feels like a BMW. On the other side it could be a bit more civic or focus RS or golf R. This is really weird. I will never modify it cause I don't know in which direction it wants to vibe.
Nice vid ma hustler!

Love this my friend. I already have coilovers (need to adjust) and an oil catch. The boost gauge would be helpful. Sometimes I feel it but don’t hear it. Nice to know it’s doing its job. I just got the car and I’m psyched to learn more about how to maximize. Thanks again.

[chauncieextreme]

great video. just got a 2011s and gonna add that catch can filter out of the gate, and also like the coilovers....those address two of my biggest concerns. the intake buildup is a common problem from what i've read, and that filter is a very straightforward, low cost remediation. thank you sir

Did some mods to my 2013s. Put new intercooler and replaced the coolant overflow tank to an aluminum one. The plastic one seemed cheap and future leak problem. I like the oil catch can idea may save the future walnut blast procedure on the valves. I think this 2013 is less a problem.

Good info mate but keep the speeding to the race track. Its fun and safe.

Good set up going ..I'm running a 2010 r56 jcw with Alta stage 3 tune jcw cold air intake, Gp2 exhaust, jcw suspension with the front and rear sway bars, Gp2 6 piston break kit and the upgraded Ko3 42mm turbo it's a go cart for the street can't have more fun than a Mini

Just got a 2010 S with 78k miles on it. I was planning on hooking this fun car up, but my Timing Chain went within 2 weeks of getting the car. In the process of buying the tools and timing chain kit to replace it myself. New water pump while the engine is tore apart, and Maybe an upgraded coolant system.

Good video! I am new to owning a Mini. Came across a blown 2012 R56 base model for $500. I have put almost $4K into it total. It's a blast! Coil overs sound like what I need next, for driving fun. Power is decent for a base model, I put 0.5mm larger pistons (non turbo pistons). I still get a P00BD (Mass Flow Sensor) check engine light. I believe it's in the Vanos timing. Has a fluctuation at 2900 rpm. I've had Mini and another shop going over it, and they can't find the problem. Oh well, this is partly why I bought it, for satisfaction after fixing it. I think I need the water temp like you, and I really wanted to know oil pressure but cannot find one for non-turbo R56... Thanks again!

[Wigler]

Very helpful tips! Just bought a 2013 S and will start making some of these upgrades especially the water temp gage. Thank you!

[evoman]

Nice mod list! I never thought about the meth addition to a F56!

[Matthew-Hen-Ree]

Some very nice and useful performance upgrades. 👍🏾

[chandler]

Great video sir! About to pick up an 2012 r55. I’m sure the same applies, great info.

[jesuspastor]

I really enjoyed your video, it gave me good direction and options thank you 😎🔥💯

[jmfaulk]

Brother, your info is spot on and are definite must installs for a Mini owner, maybe not the meth injection, but if you know what your doing, it too can be a great addition. I own a 2013 S with the N18 motor 6-speed manual and I'm in the process of doing all these upgrades. Mine is a daily driver that gets 36+ MPG stock. looking forward to more mileage and power with the mods and a tune.

[pabloricardo-autorepairsan]
