Same here had lurked here a few times and could only see a few posts per forum, thought maybe I had to join to see the posts.
So I joined up.

Yea if your an old timer the newbie questions get old quick, BUT remember when you first joined you were a newbie too...

I'm a member of over a dozen forums, but I'm on one forum 99% of the time, and it's wonderful with guys from all over chiming in all the time and going to great lengths to help each other.
Sorry to say, the OP has a point. I mean, where are all the older threads? Before I buy a Mini, I want to know a bunch about the car, and I thought this would be the place. So far, it's just a bunch of noobs like me asking questions with little if any knowledge being shared by the oldtimers.

Performance chips and front tire replacement
1) I've never driven a Mini Cooper and I just bought a 2009 base. I saw an ad for a GForce performance chip that purports to increase performance and MPG? I don't have a supercharger, and I want more torque. Is a performance chip a viable method for performance, or are there many evil side effects with changing the stock chip?
2) With all my other FWD cars, I put high performance tires (195 V60-15). The 195's will fit on the standard mags on the front wheels, but leave the standard ContiPro 175/65-15 on the rear. Will this upset the balance of the Mini Cooper, and throw off the computer management system?

The G force is JUNK I've heard nothing but troubles with this chip ,
The only one that I've heard good things is the sprint booster
MINI Cooper Sprint Booster MINI Clubman

using this if you swap all four tires you should be fine
swapping only two will cause traction/ABS troubles
