I wouldn't say "must haves" get a pulley reduction, shorty header, exhaust, intercooler (meh), and a intake. You'll be golden. And you'd probably be beating your douchey wrx buddy.
If you get a reduction pulley don't forget to put a tune on it. Also colder spark plugs are a must. Intake air temperature is going to increase. I always advise getting an upgraded intercooler when reducing the pulley on a supercharger. I have a 2006 r50 with a 2006 r52 convertible engine and motor swap. Megan racing everything man I love that car. The good thing about snatching a convertible for a parts car is you get all the extra reinforcement that you can add to your r53 or r50.
@@daysend1341 I had a 17% on my JCW and never tuned it. About 40k miles later my buddy owns it with no issues. Back the I wasn’t huge into understanding cars so I never found a tune or knew of an OTS option for them. Maybe there is one now. Also, the stock intercooler is the best option for the car even with a pulley reduction. Only thing that has tested better was the GP intercooler. So I don’t think it’s a huge deal. These cars take mods really well.
Opens bonnet to show mad rusty internals and panels... proceeds to ignore it and change the headlights! Ffs man aha😭😭 nice car but its the engine bay that needs some love bro, hope you get round to it! Will be a sound car to work on as theres so much you can do, goodluck with it all!
RatchetHatch But you spent money getting new lights? Come on dude. Fair enough upping the power on a 200k engine may not be the best idea but putting a new pair of lights on it isn't exactly a 'must have' mod either.
bro this is not a video about mods.... u try to change light bulbs, they arent mods and im pretty sure your dog isnt a mod... and then u film a subaru... rename ur video or better yet... do us a favor and delete!!!
What the hell did I just watch? half od the video is a scooby or a dog, and the rest is just replacing headlights and tail lights. no mods there dude. Massive dislike.
RatchetHatch you got the view , a comment and my rating. I won’t get my time back wasted watching your dumbass video. You’re on the winning end of this exchange lol
And still people trash you, nice work. Maybe if you gave good honest content you would have alot more support and more subs. You earned views through clickbait waisting your time and everyone else that you reeled in. You should spend more time trying to loose weight and actually get somewhere.
@@PorchWorm hahaha loose weight, who am I talking to? Did your mom you talk to people on the computers now? This video was made years ago and I've put in serious effort to make better vids since then. If you looked at my channel now and considered how old that video is you'd be understand it was before I got better. It randomly got successful and I'm riding that out, the same way you would. Now please take your attention and time elsewhere, peace.
I spent 8 minutes watching you try to change headlights and tail lights. How about you just rename this video.
43 seconds in..thank you
And they don't look good either
Thought you said mods😂😂didn't see any mods.
McDonald's milkshake on the airbox is a must have mod.
Got rice? Get a Honda and leave the Mini alone, you don't deserve it
I think the bolts on the fender look. Kinda cool

You could wet sand/polish de taillights for the same result, much cheaper too!
When you wax your car (assuming you may) wax your tail/headlight lenses too to help protect them as well.
Think your Mini might have some minor issues...dash is looking like a Christmas display.

Yeah it was too old for me to dump more money into. A new MINI will be on the channel soon :)
RatchetHatch ayy good stuff, will be nice to see that
The center exhaust is not aligned in the middle. It is bothering me so much
We are in quarantine and you are taking about ‘blue bulbs’. 😂
lmao did you not see the year its posted
where’d you get the lights?
dude, come on, what mods?
1:28 this makes me laugh every time
Those tail lights look brilliant! Might have to check mine now 😂 you should do the belt line 👌🏻
Hell yeah! I’ll go check out yours
RatchetHatch I’ve just followed you on Instagram 👍🏻🚙
Thought I was all done with my mods on my S but after watching your vid now I have to go spend $150 for new tail lights.
I just blacked my faded tail lights with tint also what part of SC are you in? im in NC
Where do you get the new lights?
the lights that didn't fit are for the fog lights, the plug looks the same.
sorry for being 4 years late xD
Love the car I'm in Michigan to, I have 2009 cooper s , again I love that blue
TINT YOUR WINDOWS!!! Looks good, but It'll look much better with 5% rear and maybe 20% front depending on your "laws"
Wow!! So informative and interesting!! You've got a new subscriber for sure
lmao those screws.😂😂
He just didn't want to take the credit, but that is a mod unlike the OEM tail lights..
Should look into getting that hatch replaced by mini since it's showing rust.
Nice work bud looks nice!
dude, where the hell do you live? I live in Ireland and I have less rust on my S even with all the wet weather we have !
That was 4 upgrades?
How did you get the digital speedometer
what kind of wheels do you have? They look great! I have a 2005 MCS Electric Blue too
“On the right side we got a yellow normal halogen, then on the right side we have this blue bulb” 🤦🏼♂️
Said right side both times when pointing out the different colour headlights
People will call anything that changes a car rice. Just do what you like
wasted your money with tailights, you can get the same look with a restoration kit.
A sub from claw kicker 😄
Those bolts are self tapping screw's.
My dude said on the right side we have the original lights and on the right we habe the new blue lights
So this dude has no lefts in his world 🤣
*calls headlight bulbs rice* but i thought race cars dont need headlights
Here's me thinking it'd be one ball mods and reducer pulleys. Guess my expectations of taste were too high.
Chill out bud, it was a rusty 200k mile car that wasn't worth making faster
RatchetHatch But you spent money getting new lights? Come on dude. Fair enough upping the power on a 200k engine may not be the best idea but putting a new pair of lights on it isn't exactly a 'must have' mod either.
You should tint it out. Would look sick af
Yessir, tint will be happening soon
where you get the lights from??
Where the mods at lol
the best video online! such a good watch, recommend to friends, must subscribe
Link to Tail lights?
Very aggressive music in the mini
bro this is not a video about mods.... u try to change light bulbs, they arent mods and im pretty sure your dog isnt a mod... and then u film a subaru... rename ur video or better yet... do us a favor and delete!!!
chill out. U gotta start somewhere, I suggest you put the effort into your own videos instead of giving pointless feedback on a successful video
Non successful video, it was a joke and reeled people in who are actually trying to get new ideas for actual mods for thier own personal minis.
since when are repairs considered mods?
this was garbage
Repairs are not mods.. my 08 is modded..
What the hell did I just watch? half od the video is a scooby or a dog, and the rest is just replacing headlights and tail lights. no mods there dude. Massive dislike.
This video makes no sense
Cheap must have mods to rice ur car XD LOL
Rice? It's Brit owned by BMW...... Get your chromosome count checked, then get cultured.
There should be more thumbs down
Thanks for your support! This one an old video I made and it has gotten popular, excuse me for my success. Thanks for the positive energy!
RatchetHatch you got the view , a comment and my rating. I won’t get my time back wasted watching your dumbass video. You’re on the winning end of this exchange lol

I see you boasting about views on others comments, it is because this video is clickbait at its finest.
Shit worked didn't it?
