Love this thing it just needs to get lower and add 30hp!!!

 

SOOOOO TRUE!!!! Then it would be perfect!

 

I third that! what are your ideas on getting your 30?

 

Well I lowered mine with Megan coilovers bigger intercooler, Akrapovic downpipe, VIP Intake, Forge Blow off valve, Cravenspeed shift kit, and Sprint booster now she feels proper... Pictures to be posted soon

 

 

 

 

The JCW looks great! Did you dip the door handles or are the carbon covers?

 

Carbon covers! They were a pain to get on right but worth it in the end, 3m extra strength dbl tape and lots of it

 

Thanks! I was watching a few eBay auctions for them. I still cannot believe there is no one making black ones.

First I have seen the OEM R60 Roof Rack on a JCW countryman.

Looks good

 

i wonder when will we see used jcw r60 r61's.

 

There already was one in Ft Myers a week or so ago. The one salesman traded his JCW Coupe for the R60 JCW and Iguess traded that in and got a loaded M4 or something like that. My one friend sent me the picture of the R60 on the showroom floor for $37k.

 

Or lose 400 pounds!

 

trying to find one, im sure i can find one for 30k in a year or so. i rather trade mine in for a used JCW r60 or r61 than a new one for 35-40k

 

I was honestly surprised at how little power MINI gave the JCW cars, the same engine is used in the Peugeot RCZ R which has 270hp. The JCW Countryman/Paceman should have at least 250hp to make the competitive.

 

Im really hoping a decent tune for the JCW R60 becomes available. The car definitely has the potential there.

 

If Peugeots 270hp is anything to go by then yup sure is a hell of a lot of potential.

 

Truthfully, the RCZ R engine is only based on the Prince platform, it's not the same exact engine. And while the RCZ R THP270 engine numbers are impressive, Peugeot's entry level gas fueled THP200 Prince engine bears a remarkable resemblance to that of the JCW MINI HP / Torque numbers.

What should be noted is that the RCZ R 1.6 you formerly referred to actually has a twin-scroll turbo, forged connecting rods, low-friction bearings and F1-spec'd aluminium pistons to reach and maintain the extra 70hp you spoke of.

That said, it's not the same engine.
