I just bought a 2010 Mini Cooper S Clubman 3D and it is unbelievably cool in so many ways! Because it only weighs in at roughly 2700 lbs it doesn't take much to make it go (and man does it go)!
Bign fan of the club with the suiside door
to pin the sound: i've got the AC Schnitzer dual exhaust setup and every person on every meet is always blown away by the sound, my mini sounds so aggresive but not too loud (a lot of bass and deepness in the sound) the mini just does not sound like you'd expect it with the schniter dual setup
Glad I sat through that slow intro, great video! Love all the exhaust clips and every mod on there is perfect. Great looking, sounding and driving F56S! Very similar mods to mine :)
Thanks pal! Hahah it is a fantastic little pocket rocket.
The belt line looks insane 👌🏻 I have a R53 Cooper s - fantastic little beasts x
I have a 2006 Mini cooper S with JCW, Chili Red with white roof, mirror caps, and hood stripes. Chili red interior and shift knob. Aero kit and JCW big brake kit. Also painted black fender wells chili red, I run 215-35-18 tyres. I love this one of a kind Mini. It only has 45,000 miles and always garage kept,
Good review mate !
That belt line looks mint 👌🏻
SairR53 Hickley See what you did there, very good. Lol
Looks like a properly naughty hot hatch! I love the green stripe that goes underneath all the windows, really neat :)
+Billy RS proper naught! And the Porsche acid green looks so cool! 🙌🏻
Billy RS by
i think the stripe is overkill but the acid green details are nice, not something you see everyday.
Very fun video bro ! Thnx 2 u ! Hi from turkey !!! 👋 God bless u !
Add a Supreme sticker to add 20 hp
💯
Lone_Wolf13! 😂💯
Fuckin... ricer u must driving old civic
Johnlim Male agree.. people that put supreme stickers on there cars are indeed ricers and hippies!
let me guess, 13 yer old white boy who wears bape and plays fortnite. yeah, get outta here son
love your car man
I strongly recommend a bigger Alu Intercooler, turbo hose replacements and a Pedal Commander. With these updates + what you already done, thers no need for a Racechip or a ECM reprogramming. Remember to change your oil every 3-4000 miles to avoid carbon build-up and you have a fun little beast which is reliable too. I only use Mobil 00/40 Full-synthetic, I think it cleans and lubricates the best !
That exhaust is gnar
It’s just awesome... 😎
Need some ceramic tint all around then it’d be killa!
HAHA, my mate owns this exact car. I reviewed it my channel and needless to say I absolutely loved it.
Great video , love this car
Thanks!! 🙌🏻
Torque Chasers how much $ was put into this car ?? I want one like it
I reckon a good £2500 excluding wheels
$3,473 🤔🤔 not bad at all
Love mine!
1:15 to get to the point.
I'm picking up a 2003 heavily modded Cooper S tomorrow. Will i sleep tonight??? Hmmm...
How is your Mini doing?
damn im dreaming this setup
Clean mini i drive a r53 and i love it
They are super fun cars!
Yea they are
In there a big turbo upgrade for this chassis?
It is so much fun!!!!
Very nice need a bit of advice guys where can I go to get some good mods and which ones do I start off with first am getting a brand new jcw cheers
I have a 2010 mini S that I’m looking upgrade!! That exhaust is crazy cool. Can you get that over in the states?
I’m sure you can however we can’t send it over unfortunately!
Yep!!!
The link to the parts… it’s not working anymore? Can some relink so I can see what parts where used?
*ANGRY HATCHBACK*
Got a 2007 mini Cooper S and I'd like to do performance upgrades. I have no idea where to start. What's the most sensible thing to start with? Not trying to over power what it can handle
Just bought MINI COOPER S.
Rocker Chick congratulations! The S is the way to go.
Awesome, I was thinking on buying a mini S and this convinced me, will be doing some mods to it. Does changing the exhaust void the warranty?
technically yes but mini have a solution they have an exhaust called a jcw pro exhaust which doesn't void warranty and sounds far better than the remus
Hmm debatable.... hahaha
Is it possible to put the remus exhaust onto a 2007 mini s? I ask because it looks like they recommend it for 2014 or newer.
At 3:11 there is a turbo icon that says Me boosta
👀
Great videooo!😁 What is its price?
Not sure if you still read the comments on this video but would you happen to know the color name and/or color code for the trim?
Is the Remus exhaust catted or decatted?
Is the remus exhaust just cat back or full system with downpipes?
Can the Remus exhaust system work on the non-S? I have a 2011 R56 hatchback....I love that sound!!!!!!!
Different system
I was just wondering I’m only 15 but the 2015 onwards cooper S is a dream car for me. I was just wondering, I’ve been doing some research how much more is insurance after declaring these mods (day for someone in their mid 20s)? Also just wondering how you know if kids are legal as looking into it the laws are really strict on mods! Thanks 🙏
great question
Can you guys update the parts list? Trying to get into modding my JCW
Just had a 2018 cooper clubman s as a courtesy car and it was really good so now I'm buying the hatch 😂 any advice on what to look for as I'm looking to spend 6-10k
Oil starvation 👌🏻
From my recent experience purchasing a used mini look out for:
1: timing chain wear: plastic guards can become brittle and break, discarding pieces into the oil and throughout the engine. Repairs can be done yourself but are time consuming. Not to mention pulling the motor apart to "clean up" guard bits. Listen for a slapping/ rattling noise coming from passenger side. Especially with a cold engine. Also called the death rattle.
2. Oil starvation due to turbo charger seals wearing down and brittling. This causing oil to be burned through the charger.
3. HPFP- high pressure fuel pumps are prone to up and dying. Codes read misfire and car runs rough at an idle. Sometimes will turn on and just die. Or run very rough in low gear
All the problems are not cheap to fix and need to be addressed ASAP. Watch out for dealers the "band-aid" them. wish I would have known these things sooner, as I am not oblivious with cars, but minis are very different (especially from my 65 Chevy c10).
What year is this mini? I've got a R55 base. I'd love my next one to be an s.
This is a 2015
Where did You get the M240 Acid Green Decals?
Did you paint the calipers yourself?
I want mods for a standard Cooper, any suggestions seen as everything i search for comes up with the Cooper s
Suspension and wheels!?
Ive got a standard cooper (soft top in bright yellow, black alloys), and its a nightmare looking for mod recommendations. Cosmetics, i've blacked all the chrome on the outside, carboned interior chrome. Had a custom stainless steel exhaust, rolled end like old old minis! then a Racechip for performance, estimate 25% more power. I've not got a dyno to test, but i know i'm only on 3/4 throttle in places i used to be at full throttle! ;)
Love it!!
+Henry Lyster it’s the coolest!
Torque Chasers it looks so much fun to wiz about in
Please could i get help upgrading my 1.6 cooper s would really be appreciated
Any one know anythinf about o4 cooper s .got the chancd to pic one up cheap n dont know about them
Was this mapped to 240 for a reason? Other mapping places go to 280 stage 1? Or does that put on much strain on the engine.
This was just a tuning box and the package is called 240 🙌🏻
Where can i get those green vinyl?
Do you have kit for 2008 clubman.
The rota's are 17" or 18" ? Nice video !
17’s I believe!
Torque Chasers would them wheels fit the jcw brake calipers ?
Yes they would
links to some of the parts would have been cool but nice vid
What is the exhaust is doing to make it sound like that?
The car drop a little bit of fuel and the exhaust as it's a larger bore makes a proper epic noise!
What color is that? Gun metal grey?
does every remus exhaust has a remote control for the valves or i can got the exhausts only ?
No only on certain applications
HAY! Me driving seat is on the other side?
Just bought a 2018 Cooper S and was thinking about replacing the coilovers because it seems way high. The Mini showroom guy said it would be a bad idea but I don't understand why. I am a complete newbie to all this stuff, but surely lowering the centre of gravity is going to make the car handle better...?
Coilovers are a harsh change. Quite firm for everyday. I’d go for a lowering spring from eibach. Super compliant but also drops it and stiffens at the same time 👌🏻 also cheaper!
Torque Chasers, thanks for that advice - I listened to the video properly this time and heard you mention the springs. Will look into it. Cheers. Great car, btw.
How's the reliability
Any advice on a JCW?
REMUS
@@Patchworksproductions I'll look into this!
I got a akropovich cat and it sound mean
Link doesn't work anymore?
Charge pipe and tune???
You would be a lot happier if you contacted MarioKart on NorthamericanMini forum for a stage 2 tune that will take it up to 265hp. His custom tunes are way better than any other. More lower torque and it's constant linear torque throughout the rpm range with power all the way.
can anyone let me know what kind of wheels these are? cant seem to find them anywhere. TIA
Rota grids mate
thanks! @@Patchworksproductions
Would you buy Automatic or Manuel. Mine is Manuel.
Always manual
Torque Chasers the dealership told me they sold fifty fifty automatic and Manuel
I own r56 2008.230hp,full Akrapovic and it doesn't sound close to yours, no poping at all, just some deep sound. I wanted decat it but then i was told i want be able to pass annual technical exam.. 😔😔
What dump valve is fitted?
Forge
best mod you can fit here is an lsd, and all those you did are mostly cosmetic/sound mods, lowering springs is not a propriate way u work with suspension on a "race car" - guess people in 2017already heard off coilovers with appropriate settings to make the suspension work the way you want it. Again - far from the best mods you can do with your mini... Anyway - we all learn on our mistakes, always check the worth before spending your cash & have a nice day!
It must be nice to be 5 "as information on turbo chargers came about" ?
The 2.0 cooper s didn't come out in the early 90s , hell turbos have been around for ages before then even , just the big tuning of turbo cars became mainstream in the 90s ..... not the now's 😁😆😂🤣
Quick question is this still for sale
Not anymore I’m afraid
Can we get a full list with links to the parts !?
All can be found on the Motech Shop mate!
Those mods a aimed solely at the little boy racer types, not my cup of tea thou.
I love my Mini Cooper S the way it is. ;)
Song at :42?
Not sure buddy just copyright free stuff
Torque Chasers oh okay, thank you anyways!
How much did you spend on modifications for
the car?
Roughly around £2000
@@Patchworksproductions Bullshit that lot never cost £2000 , the Exhaust must of cost over a Grand , and to get an extra 40 H.P and all the wheels and Tryes and then the outside Cosmetics and Mirrors and the engine work.
lol , come on man who are you trying to Kid ???
Oh i forgot the Suspension , but then i think you missed out a 0 in the price , am i right £20,000
we all make mistakes , no harm meant
It’s not as expensive as you think my friend. The general bits like the power and intake and exhaust cost £2000. Not trying to fool anyone but if you look on the Motech Performance website you’ll see a cost breakdown
What year is this mini
2015 pal
Oh right I think I'm going to buy a cooper s soon
Luke Main welcome, with such a fun car, and ots of expected problems you will have a blast time looking at it's beauty in many garages.Just to tell you, it only looks good !
What are the specs on the wheels?
Hmmmm not quite sure mate sorry!
Cyprian Skiba 8.5x18 et45 with a 3mm spacers
hot hatch sounds dirty..
WHAT MODS DID YOU USE, THE LINK IS NOT WORKING!
Or you could just buy a JCW I did
Or space the money and mod a cooper S which was the point of this video!? But the JCw’s are sick
Really difficult to understand you with the road noise and the lack of a dedicated microphone.
What are those wheels ?
Rita grids
How could I get in contact with you to help me on my mini build?
So, basically....cat-back, pod filter, piggy-back tune, lowering springs and rims...and some green paint/stickers. Not exactly pushing any boundaries :-/
Not sure the mods are meant to reach boundaries. subtle changes made a big difference in the way that car drove!
I think what hes trying to say, and I second it, is that none of this warrants the fancy new "m240" name you gave it...all you did was just slap some basic mods on it and called it something different....its just a standard modded mini cooper S, and one of those mods is just a super basic plug-in/piggyback "tune".
Some people are just docuhe kill joys!!!
Kill joys for pointing out that adding a couple of very basic mods doesnt make a mini (or any car for that matter) worthy of being labeled an entirely new version of the car? It's not like it's a brabus Mercedes, dinan BMW, saleen/shelby/roush mustang, etc...its a mini with a couple of mods. So alright. Guess I'm a kill joy then.
Because if that's how mods work now then I'll just start calling my mini the "mini countryman JCW m650 edition"....
Mike Middelburg lol
Best mod was selling the POS. Not a reliable car at all.
EV WILL BE FASTER
How old is this kid? 18 just got his license and already talking about cars? 😂
🤷🏼♂️
You can’t begin too early talking about cars! 😂 I knew most of the car manufacturers names when I was 3 years old! Lol
I could tell cars by their headlights when I was 7!
Torque Chasers Finally someone who’s exactly like me!😂😂
@@MacBookAir-cu4fb Gay 🤣😂
i own a cooper… they are definitely not mod friendly everything is expensive and when it comes to body the is very little you can do I'm sellingg mine because of this
You're not trying hard enough.
Bs i looked all the time and I have friends who have them that race minis and they say the same thing
Weak boy !!! Currently building my mini and it’s coming along great with body parts so far so idk what you mean lots of customization!
opinions do not make a truth.
jerod daley experience my man. The ones we all have. Why we stayed that my friend
I rather get JCW stock
by the way, you are driving on the wrong side of the road
Classic poorly thought out modded car... all that power, and still running completely standard brakes! Why do people still do this?
surely an obsession with making it go faster, should be matched by the desire to stop the damn thing!
“Best mods” only 2 mods ha ha ha
Dakota Flinn yeah this vid is an absolute joke. Mainly that he popped on a couple of the most basic plug & play mods available on the market and called it a day, but not without first giving the car a fancy new name to insinuate that the car was pro-tuned by some sort of, well, pro tuner, or was rebuilt/performed an engine swap or something actually worthy of having its own name to it....if I ever pulled up to this "m240" on the road with my modded mini I'd make 100% sure to blow its doors (and m240 stickers) clean off.
What makes a car feminine 🤔... A brah, lip stick... We culturalize everything into feminine and masculine until it's unreal...
A poor choice of word on my behalf. Apologies.
...but that's what feminine items are. How often do you see a normal, straight man wearing lipstick?
I own Mini Cooper, nothing but problems, so unreliable car, it's a shame
Sounds like you've got an n14 engine in your cooper...
2008 mini, engine problem, ,overheating, replaced parts thermostat, sensors, now check engine, and who know what else is broken? Can't pass inspection now even if everything seems to be okay,, what a nightmare car with only 50000 miles. Real shame for BMW !
Ouch, yeah that sucks...definitely the n14 engine though since its 2008. I've heard nothing but complaints about that engine, that's how I was able to guess haha. I've got the n18 engine and its had no problems at all, it really has been great. Just a bummer that they had to basically put out a total dud engine first in order to manufacture one that is more legit..
Also just bc BMW owns MINI doesnt mean they manufacture them from a BMW plant or something like that...coopers are still made in Oxford, clubman/pacemans in Austria, and JCW's in France...BMW just owns and operates mini's brand..the cars themselves arent entirely manufactured by BMW.
Whoever makes videos about Mini Cooper is paid by someone to do so, the car is nothing but problem, crazy expensive to fix BMW should fix it for free because they purosely made a lemon car to make money out of young people, shamful scam nothing else!
More like worst mods cheap springs, cheap air filter etc. Get some decent coilovers exhaust and filter to really enhance it. Daily on springs as you can see in the video is harsh and uncomfortable with the camera shuddering. Also losing power with the heat soak using that open air filter a closed one would be better. This should be titled poverty mods.
Hmm I fear you may have underestimated the modifications slightly... coilovers would be to harsh for an every day ride. The exhaust is made of the highest quality with 100% better sound. The filter is Pipercross... they kick ass. And it’s got a tone more power! This mini rocks! However everyone is entitled to an opinion. So thanks for commenting! 👍🏼
I'd not be that polite, coilovers on UK roads you'd have to be bleeding crazy or plain stupid... a subtle drop with springs would be a great compromise, good handling & comfort above everything else... a cheap exhaust... erm what exhaust you running on your car & have you any vids for bragging rights???!!??? & a rubbish filter Piper have always had a good reliable reputation.. heat soak pmsl... seriously this isn't much of an issue, 1st not a race car nor in a race, 2nd it's turbo charged & has an intercooler so that warmish air does get cooled down alot...
I mean we could talk about the induction units which use the snorkel & the bonnet vent... which unfortunately doesn't utilise a negative pressure breather tube aka for that higher vacuum pressure is created rather then the reduced flow through the vent only...
Ian walshe. Lad lad the guy is on demonstrating the different things that can be done AND not everyone would have the money to go all out and buy the expensive parts.
My god there always one knob end lol
🤣🤣 👌🏻👌🏻
Coil overs are a lot more stiff than springs hence why most track cars use coil overs, anyone with an ounce of car knowledge knows that, what do you think the car comes without the factory....springs!
