My New MINI Cooper JCW

[Piston]

I've posted it in the new forum, but I want everyone to see it like any proud father. 7920

This is a stock 2006 Cooper S JCW, but it is crazy fun to drive.

Nice *supercharged* JCW! I've got a 2003 JCW. Those turbo guys can't touch us...ha!

Welcome to the club... sweet looking MINI

Very nice and a great color!!!

Thanks! I'm trying to pull together ideas on some additional mods for later in the year, but right now I'm just enjoying the drive.

Buying a MINI was harder than I thought. There are so many color combos combined with different spec's both from MINI and mods made in the used market. I looked around at quite a few, but when I found this one it all just fell into place. I drove both the turbo and supercharged engines. Coming from a DSG transmission with a turbo, I really like the feel of the supercharged manual.

Yep SC's are sweet and my preferred mode of transportation!!! LOL

A custom tune from Revolution Mini Works would really wake it up! ;)

Turbos FTW!!!!

Superchargers rule!

I looked at the GP for sale in MO on NAM -- great car with very cool interior mods. I need to do a little research, but I am curious about the engine difference as I think the GP is listed with 10-15 more hp compared to a JCW.

[minimark]

The difference is mostly in a more aggressive tune.

It also has a bit larger intercooler with a tick less pressure drop and helps maintain HP a little longer on hard runs; doesn't heat soak quite as quick. Other than that they are the same as yours power wise.

A RMW tune will take you right past it! :)

Very NICE! What kind of wheels are those? Me Likey.....:cool:

The wheels are the 18" JCW R105s. They were a pretty solid selling point. They've got run flats on them right now, but I may go with a different tire next.
