Скачать или смотреть The best mods ($7500 worth): R53 Mini Cooper S

In this video I discuss the best mods for a 1st gen Cooper S. All was done to produce a vehicle that is a comfortable daily driver that still allows the user to enjoy the car without excessive power that cannot be realized on a daily commute. These mods total about $7500 for parts and assumes you do all the labor/install yourself as I enjoy doing. This results in a car that is "JCW OEM+" - a notch or two better than a stock John Cooper Works R53. For reference, that car has 210 crank hp, mine has 225. For reference, a stock Cooper S has 168 crank hp. With 225 crank hp, my car has +32% when compared to stock.
