Excellent cars, a mate used to have one then sold it for a GP. He used to say he could take on WRX's with it but I wasn't really out in it much.

Cracking car to drive though, you can take corners at quite daft speeds. If you don't mind the gay comments it's a great car.

Best buying a non works (with the lsd option) lots of people specced it not knowing what it was.

Either look at the Lohen or Hartge tuning packages

Smaller pulley + Sticky belt
GRS front mount
Full exhaust
Remap

You are looking at 229-240 bhp dependent on the tuing package.

My mate has a Stage 3 Mini Cooper S covertible its pretty mad for something that looks proper gay

Also my other mate owns this:

This is running roughly 250 bhp and gave a 911 Carrera S trouble on the strights at Brands

This is another tuned Cooper S

I'd imagine that was why it was doing 13.1's then looks pretty mental spec.

interesting / weird fact of the day... reading s2k forums so many people claim to do 13.7's standard in their s2000's... that's gotta be bullshit, i've never seen one do better than 15's and mine definately don't feel any quicker than a 14.8

The engine pic is of a different car... numberplate and front bumper are different anyway.
