Mine is sitting in the parts department but the shop can't get me in till next Tuesday.

 

Bet you just cant wait huh?

 

Today while at my dealership Vista MINI I checked with the parts dept. and the JCW stage 1 kit is $2100 and needs to be prepaid to order it since it is VIN specific and I was also quoted a labor charge of 2.5 hours X $135.00 per hour = $337.50.

So all totaled $2437.50 + tax

 

You may want to check with Morristown Mini, I saw they are selling the kit for like 1700 bucks.

Fortunately for me, I've got someone being nice to me and I'll have almost 300 less in it than that.

^^Mark I just checked and sure enough $1680.00.I am going to see if my dealership parts dept. will price match that since it is a $420 savings.

 

Good, glad to hear it.... just thought I'd pass it on. I just happened to be searching their site and saw that price.

Let us know if they match the price.

This kit is for the JCW stage I for MANUAL only...But I been pleasantly surprised before with pricing from Morristown MINI.

 

Morristown charges 1680 plus 80 for shipping

Hey Derosi,

Does Morristown charge 1680 plus 80 for shipping?



(sorry, making fun of double post)

 

Part number for the kit is the same for 6 speed vs automatic. VIN determines the coding for the computer.

The ONLY thing that varies in this kit the firmware CD. If memory serves correctly, the CD is coded to match VIN also. This means that code for VIN X will not work on VIN Y.

Hope that helps.

 

Thank you Giorgio regarding Morristown MINI.
Plus see the quote below regarding the kit.

Correct that is what was also told to me by Joel at Vista MINI in the parts dept. yesterday.

 

...Great buy for sure, I do not think I can get it for that price..

 

Just got confirmation and tracking number that my kit is on the way and way less than the two weeks they quoted !! I always get top notch service from them !

 

I was wondering when you ordered because I am hoping my kit is not far behind.

 

ordered 8/27

 

What does the JCW stage 1 kit consist of?

 

See page 2.

 

anyone has their kit on? yet?

 

mine will be here next week. its shipped and have a tracking number

 

I'm assuming mine is at the dealership because they took it out of my account using my debit card. They don't usually do that unless they have the parts in their hand.

I called and left a message...was kind of hoping that they'd call me and tell me to come get it.

Wish they'd hurry up...lol.

My dealer shows the status of my kit, released from customs. That was on Wednesday but I do not know when it will arrive for install

 

I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say about the kit. I know for myself, the kit continues to get better and stronger every day. It now has limitless power that never gives up regardless of what gear I am in. As I have said before, I bet the kit works even better on the automatics.

 

I am thinking it is going to help the Auto Cars a little more also. I will give my impressions on Thursday night if my dealer comes through

 

I'm really considering getting the kit for my mini. The price kinda scares me a bit though. Is it really worth $2k? I'm really looking for some reviews once you guys get it installed.
