Cool Wife's new Supercharged Adventure!

After changing jobs the family estate car is gone for something more fun. There was no chance of a second scoob as a week in my Type R v-ltd was dislocating her toes on my clutch! But at least it's safe for me ;D
The new edition is an )% Cooper S with the aero kit and chilli pack the at 250 miles it went to Play Mini for the Induction kit, full stainless system and Eibach springs! Plus more on the list. It has a lovely burble and popping sound!And is great fun.




Cheers Col
Happy Scooby Driving!

Cheers for the comments !
Andrew this is only 170bhp + a bit from the exhaust and induction but nothing like the gains on a scoob.But it really does go well and you would never think its only 170 when your in it! and it handles like a go kart

Thumbs up

I love Minis, thinking of getting one to replace the Scoob. How about going for the Works kit £4000 I think but 210bhp of fun!

The works kit is very expensive and one thing they do is change the throttle opening from 90% on the standard car to 100% which your BMW dealer can do if you ask a mechanic nicely for about £20. Plus you can get 250+bhp for a lot less than £4000 at some other tuners. (if you don't want the warranty!)

BBR Cooper Turbo 300, mmm (not exactly pocket change for the conversion though)

I do like the Cooper S, very nice and compact and with a few choice mods, rather nice. I recall seeing in EVO someone dropping an M3 lump into one, now that would be rather good as well.
