New Mini Owner in Texas - 2008 JCW Cabrio 6-speed - and 2007 MCS 6-speed

Another Texan with a Mini Cooper JCW. Just ordered the standard worn out stuff: engine mount and strut mounts. Already learned how to do these in less than an hour. Great resources.

Hi,
A great looking R52 with JCW package!
You will need to look for info on your car in the gen 1 section, as the R52s in 07, 08 are gen!
You have a great car and the fun will cause you to do things! Like getting another!
The interior package is pretty rare!
There is a rear wind deflector you can get for the back, to reduce wind inside the cab.
Your engine is 210 HP
Change the trans oil to Redline MTL. It take close to 2 quarts.
I no longer use verts, even though I have one.
My daily:

Itsme Wayne's 06 MCS JCW

I had not been using it, due to a knee replacement at the end of January, but driving it again now!

I was looking for a sunroof coupe when this vert popped up. Couldn't resist, loved the colors both inside and out. Glad you knee is good enough to drive again.

Thanks. Having an R52 and an R56 is like having twin sons of different mothers. Nothing but fluids are the same.

And then there were three. I love the red interior. Wish it were the JCW I missed earlier from a NAM member but it is what it is.

I had to laugh, when you reported your third! You are truly a Miniac! Welcome to the reward / punishment Mini club!
I still like The Justa models. The hood line and fuel economy, are fantastic!
Enjoy your Mini's!
