Mini Cooper Track Day Car?

[Theodoreallen]

Hey guys,

I really fancy a Mini Cooepr as a track day car and was wondering If I could get some advice? Which model do you think is best? I would like something that I can get fairly fast, do a lot of work too and have a great time in!

I have a budget of about 20k in total for car and parts! Any modifications you could recommend?

And for any Mini track dayers out there, what do you think of it? Is it worth it? What kind of horsepower and speeds are you getting out of it after modding it?

Preferably id like this to be road legal as I would like to,drive it to and from the track days!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Tnank you!

You can have my S for half that budget haha, with LSD, and chrono kit that gives an oil pressure and oil temp gauge, and moves the speedo to in front of you. Only recently altered to a modest 250chp, and looks standard bar discreet tyres. Comes with boxed coilovers I haven't yet fitted, with independent height and preload etc, and all displaced parts, and is fitted with a discreet wideband system with afr gauge in a cupholder, and BytetroniK software giving you map control for the future, or change. An exhaust option, and four runflats for spare. Maps and Dyno data, low miles, supercharged facelift, so forged crank standard, billet cam.
