Mine is a 2000 Cooper Sport so bigger wider wheels with 'S' Works conversion so stage 3 head, 1.5:1 rollers, 52mm throttle body. Replaced front calipers with 4 pot alloys and vented disks and replaced rear drums with Fins. Breaking so much better.
As 2000 MPi it has the dreaded Mems ECU which cannot be tinkered with so pretty much of the new power was lost. "Flushes"
Won't get through another MOT as burning so much oil now. Head been refurbished with new valves so must be rings going as now over 100,000.
Plan is Swiftune SW5 Cam, rebore and up-rated pistons. The crucial bit is the Specialist Components MPi throttle body kit with new ECU which can be mapped.
Yep flush the toilet but we have been together for 14 years now and the grin value every day is worth it.

Should be golden at 1340,
Yep, rings prolly shot; boring makes sense. At least, it's a good excuse.
If you fit the head back yourself, put a shit-ton of gasket gunge all round the edges.
Use pukka mineral oil, do not skimp on that. But don't use the modern crap; gotta be something/50 not 40. Valvoline Racing, Castrol classic or someth. IDK if your manifold is uprated; if not, you want that; check LCB, lengthened centre branch. Probably want an extra oil cooler radiator in there, and maybe a better water rad/fan. G'luck.
