We drove an 18 year old Mini Cooper S, with a 1.6 liter Supercharged engine, with some slight mods, now pulling 191 Horsepower at the wheels and 220 Nm of torque.
This is one of the most enjoyable cars to have, and of course, it still handles like a gokart.
Suspension was lowered by a previous owner, so the rear tyres are scraping the fenders a little, but with a simple reversal back to standard height with standard springs, it should fix this small issue.
The surprise comes at the end when the owner Loon speaks up. Watch to the end!
Thanks for watching, and if you want a good weekend car that you can really enjoy, just get one of these. Don't know about the auto, but the manual is a real gem!
Dont forget to like, share and subscribe. Cheers!

Quick little beast; there's a reason I love these MINIs, and you've brought out the best in this one! I hope I get to see you try out the JCW Countryman and maybe even the JCW GP3 in the future!

Miata couldn't catch up, guess he needed some sway bars since they come with very soft suspension/ to much body roll. Very nice Cooper 👌

This is great! Would love to chat with Loon on the ownership experience ... esp the maintenance cost and reliability
@YSKhongDriving
@YSKhongDriving 9 месяцев назад
If you dont push the car so hard you can keep the cost down - like all old cars they need some maintenance. Fortunately there are plenty of used parts available. Just keep the engine, suspension amd brakes in good condition and put in some good tyres.

So good that the Mini R53 has the Chrono Package. The speedometer and tachometer are ahead of the steering column while the oil pressure, voltmeter, fuel and temperature gauges are in the middle of the dashboard. Is the Mini Hatch R53 a 2006 car, Mr. YS?

great car so fun to drive! whats the best and first upgrade u can do in a stock cooper s for roads like this? brakes/suspension?
@YSKhongDriving
@YSKhongDriving 10 месяцев назад
I would look at suspension first; the standard brakes should be okay. An upgrade to 4 pot would be quite good. The owner of this Mini put in some shortened springs and Bilstein B6's. I think just a set of Bilsteins with stock springs would be just fine.

@YSKhongDriving 10 месяцев назад
I have no idea. But it's not something you cannot do. As I see it, it is a JCW set of brakes, a rear exhaust box, a set of Konis, and you dont need the lowered springs. For the supercharger, it is a smaller pulley. QED.
