hi andi

the only problem i've heard of is how easily damaged the body kit can get. it attracts buffs an scratches like there's no tomorrow.

Fevs · Jan 24th, 2007, 08:13 PM

are you on about a works engine conversion or the aero body kit as there aint a works Engine kit out for the R56 as yet

I have been running an 2005 MCS JCW (dealer installed) for the past 40,000 miles and the only issue I have experienced is the ocasional pain in the face muscles from excessive grinning! Its like driving around with a coat hanger in your mouth.

Enjoy...

There is no overheating problem with the R53 JCW MCS. It doesn't make enough power to overheat the stock cooling system.

R53 that i have just bough and cant wait to get it fitted

andi i have been running the JCW on my R53 for the last 3 years. Our summers are stinking hot and never had a problem with overheating. Last run we did the temp hit 45.5C at one stage and not the slightest hint of overheating, thats also with 4 OEM spotlights on the front supposedly restricting the airflow too!

It does feel a bit slower in the heat, but all S's are affected by this. 40,000 miles on mine and no overheating issues, well not on the engine anyway. Brakes and tyres, that's a different story

Think you'll find there's slightly less power in the Summer only when the air conditioning is on "cold" with the fan blowing. Least, that's what I and several others have found.

Actually the loss in power, in hot weather, is due to the less dense air hitting the supercharger. murmini - MINI Cooper Blog : MCS more fun in the cold weather
