Can anyone please help me?

I am a new owner of a 2006 Mini Cooper S. I want to take it on the track and see what it can do. But I don't know what to put in to be ready. Any advise or tips? And where I can get parts at a low price? Thanks a lot everyone!!!

I don't know alot about Mini's but I've hear something about the front shock's comming through the shock towers while hard driving. Not sure what models/years are effected. Do a search for this and I'm sure you'll find something. There are aftermarked items to strenghten this area so that it doesn't occur. Good luck.

Instead of "quick reply", go to "advanced". There should be an option to "manage attachments". From there, browse your PC to find the pic, and upload. Simple as that. If it fails, it may be that your file is too high of a resolution, too large, etc.. Make it smaller, and try again. Hope this helps.

depends on how much you want to push it ... you can take your mini completely stock to the track and have a great time.
