1st Gen JCW Most liked posts in thread: Where are all the JCW people??

I sort of went the R50 JCW route via Ebay and MA for sale. Even got a license plate with JCW.

 

And this is where the ever vigilant site owner slips in and plugs something...

Ya know, the Garage is beckoning your entry...

 

The Cooper JCW Tuning Kit consisted of these parts:

• Machined cylinder head,
• “Cat-back†sport exhaust system,
• Improved-flow air filter,
• Cover injection tube,
• Updated ECU programming,
• Engine cover, rear, and side scuttle badges.

 

The GREYLENZ

I love my 2009 JCW...most fun car I've owned. Plan to keep it till I die.

 

Nice looking JCW. Change the oil at least every 4,000 miles and let the engine idle a few minutes before shutting it down to cool off the turbo. Other than that drive it like you stole it.

 

I was a JCW guy but have modded waaaaaay past JCW status so I took off my JCW badges.

 

I just got mine today!! 2009 also. It is awesome. Cant wait to really take it our for a spin.

 

when my new-car warranty is up, I will be doing my best to catch you in the mod department

 

Good luck with that.....:lol:

 

JCW

Well I'll respond, I have 2: a 2006 JCW GP with custom leather seats, RMW tune, gauge pkg, leather dash and down tubes. Love and baby it. Also I have an 2009 JCW CR/BLK no sunroof or Nav but pretty much loaded. I have a set of Alta gauges I'll install when it gets a little cooler out. The 09 is my daily driver, what a rocket and still getting 30.9 mpg combined(90% city driving). I've added pictures in the "Garage" so take a look. Cheers. Gman

 

OK, I'll share....
2006 JCW, Blk on Dark Silver with almost every option possible. I waited years to get the JCW as a factory option as I did not want the dealership to violate my car with the kit install, and from what I have experienced otherwise from my dealership, that was a wise decision.

I also take great care of my baby. I try to keep it as much MINI and JCW as possible.

 

Yes Daddy, I will make some garage entries. :rolleyes5:

 

New To me

I just got a JCW Checkmate 06. I was thinking about a new JCW car, but after driving it, I just like the early car better. The new car is a nicer regular car, and the engine is great. The older car is more fun to drive. We are now a two Mini family. My wife has a purple haze 05 S, and I have the JCW. Any of you guys want to comment on different shops tuning? I am thinking about trying to get one.

 

I love my JCW. Wouldn't trade it for nothing....

Personally I don't miss the whine of my '04 after I put an Alta on my '09 JCW and can know here the turbo and blow-off.

 

Hey Hey-

New to the Mini world I just picked up a Chili Red '09 JCW as a trade in for my '07 350z and I wouldn't go back. I love that little car


Future plans may be the Alta Intercooler, hot side boost tube, and boost gauges.

I've never tuned a turbo before so I am just trying to read up on the effects it will have on drivability.

 

Welcome, I like the red. Let us know and we'll fix you up with go fast goodies.

 

Wait a minute, I thought your car was "orange" now????? The picture looks MY. :confused5:

Old picture Jim...
It's orangier now.
