I'm interested in your experience and whatever it cost. Were you satisifed with the work?

Post or e-mail me at harrisj@centrava.com

Thanks

I had the JCW kit installed in my 05 MCS before I took delivery at MINI of Sterling. I paid what you would expect to pay (I don't recall the exact figure) - JCW isn't cheap! The car has been very reliable after 30,000 miles, so I'm confident the work was done properly.

I'm looking into that as well.
First will be the JCW suspension, then the drivetrain kit.

Nice to hear - our secretary Kurt (Krut) had it done at Tate with big problems though. It sounded like a diesel engine!

No big deal... I deleted it. You know, next time you can just edit your first post to keep going.
