The sixth Menu Book requires you to use the Tuning Shop to tune your ‘65 Mini Cooper S to above 360 PP. So, go to the Garage and change to your Mini, then head to the Tuning Shop where you will be greeted by Rupert again.

The Mini starts at 251 PP, and you can tune it as much as you like, there is no upper limit on the next events, so if you really want to go for overkill, then do so by all means. We had accrued 122,500 credits so far, but still wanted to keep spending to a lowish amount for now. Soon we will have the opportunity to drive faster cars, so we will invest more later.

For now, start by buying your Mini some Sports Soft Tyres. These will make your PP shoot up to around 337, but don’t worry, we aren’t done yet. When it comes to tuning, while it is tempting to go straight in for more power, we suggest starting with the sensible items first. Often you will have an upper PP limit, so buy some grippy tires and once you’ve all the boring stuff sorted, then you can fill up the rest of your PP with BHP.

We started with 3,000 spent on Sports Soft Tyres, then 1,000 on a Sports Brake Kit, and 300 on matching Sports Brake Pads. Always upgrade brakes and tyres together, as stopping power is limited by both.

Next up, we went with Sports Suspension for 3,100. This will help with handling the vehicle, particularly if you are not a smooth driver. The height adjustable suspension was available for more, but as we likely won’t be spending too much time with the Mini we didn’t think it was worth the extra expense.

After the suspension, brakes, and tyres, the Mini was sitting at 358 PP. Now we decided to go for power. We started with 3,500 for the Fully Customisable Computer, putting us up to 69 BHP (from 64) and 373 PP. The bar was set at 360, but naturally, we decided to go a little over just for fun.

Finally, we added the Sports Air Filter for an extra 2 BHP. Not much, but at only 600 Cr. it’s too cheap to not have.

After this, our Mini Cooper S ‘67 came to a very respectable 377 PP, and we headed back to the Cafe to collect our rewards (just a few track unlocks). We spent 12,500, leaving 111,000 for future projects…
