until you drive it and feel the whole experience, most say that. it is a GREAT car, fun to drive, something different.

Perhpas. I'll stick with my CRX until I can afford something with real power.

You drive a CRX and are bitching about underpowered? :roll:

The pulley to put out close to 200HP is only $100.

He didn't say it was a Cooper S did he? My CRX has over 160hp thanks, it's not underpowerd.

160 in a CRX?
my Honda CBR929RR has 160 hp after mods and it is 388 lbs... please that is mega underpowered for a 2000lb+ car.
Coopers have a crapload of mods that can get that little ah heck way up in the horsepower range...
do a google search...

If you need any parts, be sure to check out RSpeed.net, they specialize in Minis and Miatas. I ordered a set of wheels from them, and they absolutely have the best customer service out of any company I've dealt with. Nothing but good things to say about these guys.

Looks like they have some great stuff, thanks for the site!

a family friend of ours is 6'6". he went to a car show and the mini was literally the only car he could get a comfortable seating position in. go figure.

My personal favs:

Webb
Outmotoring
M7

Randy Webb knows his stuff. Also, M7 Tuning has a turbo kit for the Cooper. I was always nervous about that upgrade, because pre-05 Coopers have some weak transmissions (mine was going after 15,000 miles), but with the upgrade Getrag, it should be fine for more power. :D
