In doing some research for writing a FAQ regarding JCW Tuning Kits, I found 3 for the Cooper:
97 kW (132 PS) Tuning Kit
154077
93 kW (126 PS) Tuning Kit
154078
87 kW (118 PS) Sound Kit
A 4car.co.uk article (http://www.mini2.com/2001/11/29/john-cooper-works-mini-coper-revealed/) posted in the MINI2 News indicates the 97 kW Kit was available from John Cooper Garages as early as late November 2001.
The following was posted on MINI2 by Paul Cooper on March 8, 2002:
All UK MINI dealers are now able to fit the John Cooper Works Conversion to your New or Used MINI Cooper.
For further information please contact your local dealer or call John Cooper Works on 01903 784784 or e-mail works@johncooper.co.uk
A BMW press release regarding the world premiere of the MINI Cooper 'Works' at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, stated that the 93 kW Kit would be available from both the John Cooper Garages and all official MINI Dealers from April 2003.
A MotoringFile article (http://www.motoringfile.com/2005/01/08/the_jcw_cooper_sound_kit/) indicates the 87 kW Sound Kit was scheduled to enter the world market in late February 2005.
I'm curious as to whether any MINI dealers actually fitted the 97 kW Kits.
I've added a poll to this thread so owners can indicate the type of kit fitted to their Cooper. Also, if you know the fitment date of your kit, please post it in this thread.
Thanks :smile:
