quickest way to learn?
 

so guys im new to everything. i mean i know how a car works but i dont know a great deal of how a car works. thats why i am here so i can pick up and learn things. there are a lot of parts to a car which i do not quite understand and i really am confused on how to know what to upgrade on my mini if i were to do anything.

any suggestions on ways to learn the quickest about mini's, the mini's specs and the whole aftermarket scene of the mini?

i got a stock mini cooper S 2003 with the sports package

Just start reading the forums there is tons to learn on modifying the mini
