modding a mini

[mdbsat]

Ok, I am obviously new at this. I have a 03 MCS. Being new to minis and really ever moding a car in ANY way what would be the best way to get started?

I have looked at some kits online that range from 2k to 3k that say they can get the HP to 215, is this true? How much does it usually cost to pay someone to install it?

I know this is a vague post but ANY help would be greatly appreciated :razz:

The most HP for the $$$ is the underdrive pulley it can be had in various% up to 20% underdrive ... Install varies by shop and their hourly rate ... I was quoted $300 to install an underdrive pulley , new belt , new plugs , plug wires , and cold air intake
