I dont have the JCW kit.. its too expensive and there are other ways to get there for alot less money.. A 15% $120 pulley will get you to about 190HP.. There are many other bolt ons that will add more HP... The JCW kit is nice but at $6K+, its very pricey... but it keeps the factory warranty intact...

 

nice cars

id love to see a xb and mini of same color patterns sitting in the driveway lol yeah a little nerdy but hey....im a nerd

ive actually considered mini's before also, but i love my box now though!

 

Damn, they need those pully's for the xb! haha

 

awww i want a mini cooper too! a red one!

 

hey mikem hos the cooper S holding out? I am almost done with my choice. im thinking either is a dark gray S like yours without any package though or a regular mc solar red. its so hard to choose, im still thinking about the convertible as well.

 

its doing well... thanks!
Heres my 2 cents.... If you want performance as your main goal... get the S... Get the sport package, LSD and the xenons are worth the $500. That will cost you about $24K

The vert has too much cowl shake... I would advise against it.... The regular MC is fun... but the S really makes it quick. The resale values are very high... so its a good investment as far as cars go...

The dark silver is the best looking color... IMHO.... the black fender covers show up too much with a light color... of course this is subjective...

The S with a few options is the most bang for the buck option... Check out the pictures of my wheels at the top of this thread... The web spokes... they were $500 extra... but they are lighter and you can sell them for much more then the std S lites...

Good luck .. let me know if you need more info......

You can be at 200 HP with a pulley mod.... same as JCW but for very little $$$

>Now, I have a problem.... what to do with the xB.

Duh, KEEP it of course.

Now you need to go get a Honda Element. That will give you a collection -- small, medium, large . . . .
