2007 Mini Cooper (non-s) upgrades?

Hello, I have the mini cooper base model and was wondering if anyone has done anything to increase performance/speed on the base mini cooper. I just ordered a K&N high air flow filter but I'm looking for other things that can increase my cars performance. Also any good interior mods or that others have done to vamp it up a little thanks!

No real power adders for the Cooper that are worthwhile, but a 25mm rear sway bar will really enhance your driving experience.

H-Sport 25mm Comp Bar

Other than that I would recommend a set of stickier tires and some suspension work.

A DDM intake makes the Coopers sound fantastic though!

Hi JMiniCoop:

Our customers highly recommend a Sprint Booster, not for power gains but to get rid of the dreaded throttle lag. You know, when you go to pull out into traffic and nothing happens? Here are just a few testimonials:

Many like to combine the Sprint Booster with a Performance Air Filter:

Coilovers and Adjustable Rear Control Arms also popular:

Plus, here is a handy maintenance and service guide to help keep her running perfectly:
