Hi everyone,

I just picked this up from the dealer, 2nd owner. Bought it as something fun for myself in the weekend, and something for the wife to replace her old 2000 civic with. It's an interesting ride as the last owner did a number of things after buying it, and I'm trying to figure out what kinda other stuff is done that can't be easily noticed

The specs:
2009 dark silver Mini Cooper S 6-speed with just shy of 29K miles
JCW R112 wheels
JCW brakes all around
JCW CF shift **** and ebrake with some other JCW interior accents
Has some kinda aftermarket cat-back exhaust

I haven't checked to see if there's an intake on this thing yet, and I'm very uncertain if this is one that got a JCW stage 1 tuning. Not like I have a lot of ways to compare stock vs. what it is now. I'm also not sure if there's a JCW suspension in there or not. I got a ride in my friend's MCS, and his seems to be stiffer, although he is running on 16" wheels. Thoughts?

For her sake, I am told to figure out something fun to do with the car - will most likely add bonnet stripes up front, and if I can figure out how to do this, a blue shell decal on the door (think Mario kart lol)

If all goes accordingly well, I'm hoping to get the Alta performance stage 2 pack for Christmas and maybe put down 200whp if I'm lucky

I came from a world of Supras, having own 2 at a point in time. Now, the Mini's suspension is innately a lot firmer than those, so I'm curious what kind of mods stand to benefit most. I'm thinking sway bars first...

Anyway, great to get back into the car scene again as I've been on my prius for a good 5 years. Finally something with some more power!
