JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 1st Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs are discussed.
It'll have to wait until I feel like I have a bit better job security, but i think a head would be next. I'll have to do some more research, but Thumper and RMW are at the top of the list right now. Might be a couple years though. My car is thoroughly satisfying as it is right now.
When I first purchased my 2006 JCW, I had enough power to comfortably accelerate with like generation VW GTI's and earlier 4.6 liter Mustangs.
After I installed my cam and header, I was running with Honda S2000's and newer Mustangs.
After the RMW tune, I'm now on par with E46 M3's!!
>>Me Too and isnt it funny how they just look at you!! This weekend I switched out my JCW catback with a Milltek and it sounds just a wee bit better. I really cant tell much of a difference in power though, but the cam and the header from RMW not to forget the Tune, Really keeps a smile on my GP
Nicely put in context What power are you now running then?
Is the new WRX faster than the older versions as I would have thought you would pull on earlier (2.0ltr) when you were stock 210JCW???
Looked like a newer one:
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 4.7 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 12.9 sec
Zero to 120 mph: 19.7 sec
Street start, 5-60 mph: 6.3 sec
Standing 1/4-mile: 13.5 sec @ 102 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 142 mph
Looking at it's performance numbers puts it in the same category as the aforementioned E46 M3, so it seems about right. Could have been a modded 2008 also I suppose, as they look quite similar.
I don't have a JCW but I did do a cross country road trip last month for my 30th b-day and I did stop by LA to get a tune from RMW... 229.8 HP and 198.9 TQ on the dyno sheet!
Is there any thing near sacramento? I couldnt find the stand alone on Revoultionmini.com
No, we have to drive But atleast we are fairly close. Last month I drove down to Mynes to get my custom tune, 5 hours for me, 8 for you. Doable in 1 day.
