I just dropped off the '02 JCW Cooper S and the '05 Convertible Cooper S at the dealer for installation of the '05 JCW upgrade on the '02 Cooper S and installation of the full '05 JCW kit on the Convertible. It just might be the first JCW Convertible. Who knows? "Double your pleasure ... Double your fun ...." (At least until I see my bank balance). I'll let you know how it all goes.

whoa! talk about double your pleasure! you've gotta be the first 2-timer jcw owner.

please let us know the differences between the two. i was so tempted to trade/sell my '03 for a '05 because of all the upgrades/changes, especially the gearing.

i'm soooo jealous....

 

what he said

sounds like fun

 

An MCS Works AND a Cabrio S Works in the same stable ! I stand humbled before the master ! I need a better job!

Good luck and I am looking forwad to a review of the works up-grade. I'm contemplating it for my '04 MCS Works. I was quoted $525 for the kit and $212 for the labor here in Honolulu.

Aloha and happy MINI-ing!

PS - If you get enough speed built up you could probably hydroplane all the way here to Honolulu!

 

Right on!!

My local dealer had a Works S convertible (CR/B) with BBS wheels over the weekend - tres shhweeet .

 

Just got my upgrade kit installed this past Friday on my '04 Works. Spent the weekend breaking it in and I have no complaints at all .

Smooth running with great excelleration as most other postings have mentioned. SC whine is noticable at the 4500 plus RPM mark.

Cost here in Honolulu was $686.88. $472.00 for the kit (we get a club discount over the MSRP of $525.00) and about $200.00/labor.

Got my stock parts back to boot!

Aloha!

Thats just for the intake and ECU kit right? Otherwise it seems like your numbers are missing some zero's hehe. :smile:

 

Yep, upgrade kit only! Had the JCW installed when I bought the MCS last July. Took a week to get the parts in and installed. Longest July week of my life!

Aloha!
