We went for a little spin and he was kind enough to let me drive. To be honest, I was expecting a bit more uumph. I'm pretty sure my 3.5L powered Sedona minivan would walk all over it. I expect that the regular, lighter Cooper S FWD would be more impressive.
I didn't realize that your mount was not on the headlight housing. Sounds like you've got a great solution there.

The first gen Mini S's used to ride on the bump stops they were so harsh - handles like go carts but tough to daily. The second gen's they smoothed it out quite a bit and made it much more refined. They are definitely a blast to drive but as usual they suffer from carbon build up on the intake valves badly and trying to do anything in that engine bay is a disaster.
The intake mounts to a bolt hole with a bolt that grounds the headlight harness just in front of the headlight. That is where the original DC intake mount bolted to
