First Post (finally) 2 Years After Buying my R53 JCW Cooper S

Well, I've spent the last few years just reading up and selling stuff in the classifieds, all while avoiding posting in 1st gear. Finally getting around to it after posting a lot in the marketplace from my garage clean out.

I bought my 2003 Dark Silver JCW MCS in 2008 with 15,600 miles on the ODO, one owner, garage baby the whole time. It was loaded with Package #1, #2, #3, and had the full JCW kit, including brakes and suspension.

Some (tasteful) mods that are now on the car include:

- M7 front strut tower brace
- Cobalt rear strut brace
- DDM works intake
- DDM works intercooler air diverter
- Pro Mini boost and oil pressure gauges
- B&M Short Shift Kit
- Detroit tuned BPV
- TSW V3 springs on my JCW shocks (JCW springs are for sale..)
- H-Sport Adjustable lower rear control arms
- H-Sports 25.5mm rear sway bar
- Konig Traction 17x7 ET40
- Extra set of Enkei Performance RZ5 17x7 ET 42 (eventually will mount dedicated Auto-X tires on when I have $$)
- 215/45/17 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo


I recently bought (impulsively because it was the last in stock at a sweet price) a Bilstein PSS9 coilover set that I will have installed by the end of the Summer. I'm probably going to save up for camber plates first (most likely Vorshlag unless I hear/read otherwise). Hopefully I can find enough stuff in my garage to sell first!

On a side note, if anyone is looking for a TSW Spring/JCW shock setup, I probably will be selling one in the near future!
