JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 2nd Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs are discussed.
Damn! Y'all make me feel like a fossil.
"Fun" cars in the driveway=MCS, Porsche Boxster,Porsche 911SC, Porsche 912, and a surprizingly agile 93 Saturn SC2. Mini got over 8,000 miles tacked on since February...MORE than all the others COMBINED.
Inching up on 74 next April.
Well thank you sir for not letting ME be the oldest one here!
I'm 63 and I've been driving too fast since I got my '65 Triumph Spitfire - in '66!
Honda isn't thinking. All they want to make nowadays are appliances. Performance to them is adding a hybrid package - see CR-Z.
I miss the days of the NSX, S2000, CRX, old Integra etc...their cars actually had a soul back then.
I couldn't agree more! That's one thing I love about mini is the individuality they want to instill in each car. The old imports were about the experience the owner received while piloting the car. It gave who ever was behind the wheel a sense of pride in their car which drove them to personalize it to be unique. Now I don't feel there is many cars produced that give that same feeling to the owner and it's killing the motoring experience.
you kidding me drewster? Nope. I'm in the same boat as you upgrading from a non-S to a JCW. First car was a volvo xc70 i inherited but broke down a year .5 later (my sisters did a number on it). Learned to drive a stick --> non-S '10 mini -->JCW.
Third car thank you and I treat her well. a fellow non-S'er should know what it's like upgrading a PW/blk mini hahaha
I have a 03 S modded with Dinan gear (15% pulley, intake, throttle body, fuel system, software), JCW exhaust, Wilwood 12.2" BBK, KW Var 3 coilovers, Vorschlag camber plates, H&R rear sway, H-sport rear camber links...
Do I qualify as a sorta-JCW? By the way, I am 40 and bought this last year, and most of miles are track miles at High Plains Raceway in Colorado. Love beating up on BMWs and Porsches in the twisties!
