First mod ever into the car. I installed a K&N Cold Air Intake and a Megan Racing performance exhaust system.

Dude I just bought one of these mini's and it's given me a passion for cars because the driving experience is insane for a small car with just over 100bhp, I know nothing about mechanics but really want to make a few adjustments JUST LIKE THESE!! Pls upload more no one does videos on the standard cooper just the cooper S :( . If you could also include rough prices that would be cool as fuck. Great video btw

@@giokowi246 that's awesome to here bro, I've subscribed to you now anyway so hopefully I can follow your choices of mods to give me inspiration for my own pride and joy! I was thinking of fitting the cooper S brakes to it for piece of mind in the corners as my pads are slightly worn anyway, I would personally love to hear what tyres you choose to use and any other relitively inexpensive mods that don't ruin the raw feel of the car would all be welcome. As I said I have tried to find these videos elsewhere and they are all for the cooper S 😴. Make more content I can tell you love it too as the editing quality is 👌 I'll stop licking your arse now bro 😂

@@davefernandez5567 Not true. You can tune it, add a R53 throttle body, larger injectors, upgrade the coil pack and plugs, add a cam, a ported head and headers. My R50 makes 150 at the crank, and it can still go a bit higher.

How is it? I want one as well and the Cooper S is a little expensive and the base ones are pretty cheap. I know the S has 168hp and these have 115 or so but does it feel slow?
@dkift5238 Жыл бұрын
@@Feraz69420 with the gearbox and a few other small things fixed, its great. 116hp but they only weigh about 1100kg so it feels fast. I mainly drive it on dirt / gravel roads around a forest and it handles amazingly, can slide it very easily with a handbrake pull. Great as a first car and there's a decent amount of aftermarket parts from what I've seen. If you don't need the supercharged whine from a cooper s then you'll enjoy the base model cooper just as much

i don't see gaining anything by removing the factory air box that gets air rammed into it from the outside to getting hot air from the engine bay. Once you close the hood the temperature rises to 400..just doesn't make sense

You could just take off the stock air inlet....that will make it sound beefy. Its before the air filter so no worries you wont affect anything as far as fuel mixture goes...that looks like a glass pack but they havent listed the pipe so I'm clueless.

What year and how many miles are on your R50? I have a 2003 with 155k+ miles on it. The car has been a headache honestly, but when it's driving well, it's a lot of fun. I'm currently having an issue with the serpentine belt and AC compressor. it squeals a bit on startup and then the squeal subsides. when the AC compressor engages, it's pretty loud and sounds a bit like a washing machine on spin cycle . LOL. anyways, I kinda want to do what you did since the exhaust on this car is shot and rusted out. Wouldn't mind a few HP gains from the CAI and exhaust as well. I hope you make more videos. There are definitely some of us out there who want to learn and modify our budget dailys lol. Good stuff brotha
