Does anyone know if the JCW Tuning kits are still available? I'm considering whether to sell my 2005 S or upgrade it and keep it.

 

Try PM'ing Partsman, he has a good head for parts availability in the US. I looked on Morristown Mini's site and found nothing there.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

I actually talked to Jayson at Classic about the kits. There are quite a few kits in the US and even more in europe. The NAM price was $3800 and change. Not bad considering there is no longer a core requirement. Actually considering getting a kit myself.

 

In December of 08 I purchased a 210 hp kit for my 04 MCS. At that time there was one of these remaining in the US. There was 13 in Europe. I'm not sure if this is the kit ( part # 11 12 0 395 130) you would need. The $3800.00 posted above is what I paid for my kit. It included the injectors and airbox. The core program on the parts has been dicontinued. If you have one installed be sure and get the removed parts. They could be saved as spares or sold to recover some of the cost.

 

I believe the 02-04 kit was different part no. than the 05-06 kit. I am guessing that there would be more of the latter kit available.

 

Thanks...I received a PM from rlfletch, but i'll post what I found out here for all to see...
