2 months ago I picked up a 2002 MCS with the JCW package.
Needed a clutch with 130k miles on the clock.

The weekend I bought the car I did a clutch, power steering fan and cleaned the entire car inside and out.
To this day I've done the following:
Painted the white roof
17% pulley, M7 strut bar, Koni Sports, H&R springs, 22mm rear sway, Grom Audio unit, Alta Intake, MSD coil, powerflex bushings (RLCA) with an Airtec intercooler on the way.... Its been such a great car!

 

Well done and nice rare find for a 2002 JCW tuning kit. Not too many had that even in 2002 at launch. Looks like someone painted the wheel arches and black trim on the aero kit also.

 

Thanks! - yea i had no clue how rare it was until I talked to another local mini owner.

 

Welcome, very cool 2002.

Or you could talk to me and I can give you the run down

 

What wheels are those?

 

just cheap winter wheels - rota grid 16x8 +20 offset. bolt up perfectly with hub rings.

 

they look good

 

thanks! i was tired of 17s and i wanted wider. it a good fit.

 

Great looking Mini! What size tires are you running?

 

Wow Tony.....your car looks great! I almost went with Rota Grid's myself when I picked up my 04 JCW a few months back. Great looking wheel! Car looks super clean.

 

Welcome, looks great

 

@Minilife - I believe they were a 215/40 - ill double check later today.

Thanks everyone! Just installed a sprintbooster - and I must say--- BEST "performance" mod I've ever done on any car I've ever owned. I know it doesnt give HP gain but the way the car responds after the install is completely nuts. If you dont have one, get one asap.... just saying.

 

+1 on the sprintbooster. 215 / 40 , very close to the same width are stock 17" OEM's , 205/40/17.

Really like this 02' the more I look at it.

 

Really loving that color and the painted trim. The color of the grids goes very nicely. Just be careful with killer pot holes. Had a never ending issue with one of my grids on a different vehicle a while back. Looks like it's overall in really good condition. Got anymore pictures?

 

yea, so ive heard! the streets of seattle arent the best either.
I'll take more pictures later - camera phone pictures arent the best.

 

Mini listed above is now for sale!!! Let me know if anyone is seriously interested!
Just fell into an 08 530xi and dont need two cars around.

 

I just saw it in the marketplace! Sorry to see it go, but it'll be a great MINI for whom ever picks it up. Good luck with the sale.

 

haha thanks; car is fun but just a bit small for a newfoundland to sit in the back :P

 

Good luck with the sale, " newfoundland " eh.


Have you seen the Targa Newfoundland MINI

Ya... that'll definitely be a challenge. I have a friend with one and she is HUGE! This reminds me of this video.

 

hahah thats me for sure. thats the main reason i did the rear seat delete.
I threw in a dog bed and now he can lay down just fine. Pretty good setup for now.
