    FJCW is a Factory produced John Cooper Works MINI. 155kw power, hardened pistons, different intake and turbo, exhaust, plus aero pieces. All assembled in the factory, instead of a Cooper S with add on pieces.

    Thanks for the welcome

    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    What is the FJCW please, I'm not familiar with that one.

    Hello and welcome to Motoring Alliance

    The JCW pieces were dealer installed in the R53 generation pre-facelift. But in Canada nad US, pretty well all the JCW cars are factory fitted now. I'm not even sure you can get a dealer installed JCW set up in Canada or US anymore.

    That is correct. However, they were not introduced to North America until 2009. In Europe, and Australia, it was produced in 2008. Hence I have a 2008 FJCW. This means I will have to keep an eye out for early production problems!!

    Cheers,

    Ken
