JCW From méxico
Hello everyone!!!
After seven long years I'm back, in 2004 I had a MC R50 with aerokit, then because of work i had to sell it in 2006, then in 2010 my father bought a 1972 morris mini, which we still have (but it ain't mine :(
Now i recently bought a B E A UTIFUL MCS JCW 2006 (without aero kit. -.-)
I Live in Guadalajara méxico and i am a member of the local club.
Any questions?
Keep up the good work!

Looks really good and worth the wait. Nice combo. ![Smilie](https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I really like the fact the rear seats match the front. I would keep them, but if you need the rear GP1 / strut bar parts let me know. Its a big job.

You're right I think it's beatería the way it is... The rest is the long term plan, for now i have problems like rear shocks, one tire is diferent than the rest, the front bushing where the strut a go are broken, the left (hidraulic) engine support leaked, and many more things to fix and replace. Do you know If there is a complete bushing kit in urethane?
Again sorry for the english

ECS is a great place to go to as well as Out motoring, Pelican parts etc.... way Motor Work it's also great as well as Helix, Way doesn't ship internationally but they will answer any questions as well.
I think that there is a complete bushing kit from the vendors check their sites and good luck with the car

Thanks minibx. I have the leather down tubes and there are very nice. Not many people know about the driving light cable for the console mount, now they do.

MCSJCW06MX "Do you know If there is a complete bushing kit in urethane?"
We have the Powerflex Polyurethane in Performance version and the stiffer Race, "Performance" regular is good for everyday driving , "Race" Black Series is a little stiff and I would save mostly for track days or track cars. We have them all linked below:

No bushing on the other side for the upper engine mount: Because you have the 12/2003+ set up. Just check it to make sure its not leaking oil. You will see black oil residue down the front or back side.

Once you replace the front strut mount check the rear upper ones also.

#10 in the above pic is the rear upper strut mount, they can compress and start to sag a little.
There is the whole mount with plate or you can get them with just the insert in Lemforder brand: See links

We also have them in Powerflex version for the rear upper mounts:

Then I would have the alignment done, 4 wheel of course by a MINI dealership down there. Since one tire is different then the rest.
Thanks

I allready took the car to the dealer, I bought the engine mount that was leaking, upper strut mounts, struts, and ABS sensor that failed, complete JCW service (spark plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter) also cleaned the injectors [due to the crappy fuel we have over here I like to do it once every 50,000km] i think that's it!
I wil, however, buy the inserts and bushings sooner or later to have a stiffer ride and extend the life on the stock bushings. I definitely have to save some money and when I have enough I'll get everything at the same time.
I will let you know when I'm ready
Thanks for all the help, and heartwarming welcome.
