Good video! (Haven't watched it yet but I already know)

Also from looking at a few shots, it seems you're running pretty standard camber at the front (e.g. its evident theres more rear camber than front). I'd suggest getting some adjustable top mounts on this and dialing in some front negative to really improve the front end on track. It'll kill the understeery natural balance of the car.

Seeing how hard their whipping this around makes me miss my old mini and I thought stock they were pretty wicked

I have a grey mini r56 S that is now modified and remapped by Lohen to 270hp/350nm, little cars with that much power just fly :)

That wheel fitment is killer 🤟

Great idea, even if it a promo! I also sense a bit of Top Gear infusion, which I also like. Keep up the good work ;)

These three together are hilarious hahaha

That is a class little track. Go there sometimes Its a laugh

Really cool car. Ethan's face...Great😂

Mini cooper has always been a car I would love to own ❤ I've entered so hopefully I can live that dream ⏳

Some perspective: the single lap record for Curborough in the n/a standard car up to 2 litre class is 36.99 sec (exactly the same as the best for this mini). That was for a Honda S2000 and was 10 years ago, but it was equalled this year in a mk3 Renaultsport Clio. Remember, that’s a modified mini against standard cars. The power is about the same but it makes you realise the Clio and S2000 really have a sorted chassis from the factory! Having said that, I think the mini was facing tougher track conditions.

Sick video

Any information on what settings on the Race Chip were set to get the 203 whp? Have the same mods

Holly Shit !!!! So basically this Mini is almost as quick as a E92 M3 and a little less than the E46 330d you built from the previous project !!!! This proves that a good and well balanced setup is the key to go fast. Well done Alex !!!

I want that Mini. Germany Please change the lamp in the daytime running light of the left front fog light. If the reflector inside is wet and oxidized, put it in a video ;-) It could be very funny to change this lamp :D Klaus is a street functional nice R56 Car Throttle guys!

The rims look amazing

Car throttle just out here modifying cars like GTA and Pimp my ride

Copper roof and mirrors looks quite good. Needs rims to match. Remove the decals and this would look pretty excellent. Pretty incredible to see an R56 that isn’t broken hahah

“You remind me of my dog on fireworks day “🤣🤣🤣🤣

Got some real old Top Gear vibes from this. Would love to see a challenge video where you each get 1k to buy a car and modify it and see who does the best

Ethan's face expressions are priceless lol

Very nice I like

Surprised you went with a tuning box on this, although I suspect it was due to a sponsorship deal which is fair enough, they are decent and that one your using does seem like a well developed good quality one judging by the graphs. Tuning boxes are all well and good if you want an easy/reversible way to get more power, I fitted a £20 second hand one to my old shitty Volvo S40 diesel and it made a massive difference just by increasing the fuel pressure, but with any car I have that I actually like and care about, a proper map is the only way... especially when adding hardware like the intercooler. You proved this yourselves when you modified that E46 330d, that I always ask about with every comment I post. I’m sure with a decent map and that hardware this car would develop noticeably more power than 200bhp.

I've got an R56 with the "stage 1" john cooper works tuning pack on it (and a suspected additional remap from before I got it 5 years ago?) and it's an amazingly fun car and fast enough to surprise a lot of things..... But..... A warning to anyone that wins this, mines taken about £1.5k a year in unexpected costs to keep it on the road Clutch (to be fair, probably due to previous owner) Cam chain Oil lines for turbo Thermostat housing High pressure fuel pump Oil filter attachment housing Cam chain (2) (30k miles and 2 years after #1) Coil packs New valve cover (PCV valve failed) Multiple suspension parts (drop links on front anti-roll bars are really keen to start knocking) Think it needs a water pump at the moment Have to check and top up oil every week (1/2 litre every 1000m is considered "normal") And, I know some bits I've forgotten! Love it when it's running well but constant work to keep it that way! (Oh and for a lot of those jobs, most the front end of the car has to be removed, so figure in Aircon re-gas and coolant replace in the cost!)

I've heard the later (N16) ones are better but I'd also advise everyone to stay clear of the N14 early ones!

What a coincidence, I just wanted to buy myself a mini, but I still don't know what year (if used) or brand new, but definitely Cooper S and maybe even JCW, although I do not like color combination of current JCW.

why has the engine noise and exhaust tone been quietened down for the video?

No one drives a Mini faster than me, but well done for trying. You missed some important mods that are cheap which would of made you go faster and impossible to spin. Mini's drift sideways when set up properly and are much more fun to drive than you showed. You really do need someone on your show who can drive cars properly, it would make great content.
