Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

off the porsche, i've had the thing for 3 months now, has 10,000 miles on it, had 700 when i bought it, so i figure to get me out of it as a driving to work car i needed something fairly fun to drive to keep me from driving the porsche too much, i test drove the regular mini S and it was ok, surprising amount of room, the power was a little lacking, but i figure the Works adds about 40 more HP, which should be significant in a small lightweight car?

no such thing , i test drove the regular mini S and it was ok, surprising amount of room, the power was a little lacking, but i figure the Works adds about 40 more HP, which should be significant in a small lightweight car? [/QUOTE] at a recent track day, i was behind a mini s with 200+ hp and surprisingly, he was not that easy to overtake. this, on a track with a very long sweeping front straight (fontana). it took nearly 2/3rds of that straight to finally get past. i thought at the time, if that mini had another 50 hp, it would be a giant-killer.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

well if i kept the rate of miles up it would have about 40 thousand a year on it, and i'd like to keep it under warranty for a bit

POST 5Original post

I've had a mini copper-s for the last 15 months, and put 15K on the clock. In it's own way it's as much fun to drive as the p car..you can drive it much closer to it's limit than you can the 911. FYI, you can do just as well buying an s and modding it with an exhaust,intake, and a reduction pulley to acheive "work's specs'. Add an H&r sport spring set and you have one hot mini. There are lots of instances where I prefer to take the cooper over the porsche, especially into town or somewhere where I need to valet. It's a hoot to grab a mini parking spot and watch some SUV try to take the spot when I leave...it takes them a while to figure out they just aren;t going to fit.<g> I look at my mini like I do the mirowave..an appliance I will always own.

POST 7Original post

Not change into a R32 thread but I thought the R32 was basically a GTI with AWD and a small bump up in hp and torque. I'm starting to see them in my neighborhood, they do look nice.

POST 8Original post

Or get a Mini S and put the Stage 3 Mini Mania kit 245 HP and pull a 5.5 0-60 and a 73MPH slalom.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ya but then id have to find someone to put it in, not telling how much that would cost in addition to the 5k for that stage3, and it would void the warranty on the engine since it has to be taken apart

POST 10Original post

The Mini is a great urban assault vehicle. I love mine. Can't wait to buy an 'S' when they start selling them for MSRP in my area.

POST 12Original post

if money is not an issue, get the works kit for sure. i have it & 100% love it everyday i drive it!

POST 13Original post

my MCS is a substitute for the P- car in the winter time too
