This is a clean example of the second-generation "R56" MINI Cooper S "JCW GP." The John Cooper Works GP is a special edition of MINI's fastest three-door, with extra power, stiffer suspension, rear-seat delete, unique wheels and aero, and exclusively a manual transmission. For a fan of the marque, this is the ultimate MINI, though in my review of the stock car, I remarked it had "The performance of the Fiesta ST for the price of a BMW 335i."
This example has been modified with a host of bolt-on engine modifications, full suspension upgrade with TC Kline coilovers and associated parts, TC Kline wheels, and upgraded brake lines, pads, and fluids. The aftermarket is limited for MINI's in general, and the JCW Most of all, so to see a modified GP is very rare.

Seeing how excited and happy this guy is talking about his Mini is what being a car enthusiast is all about. Have fun out there boiz
So true
My Mini makes me smile every single day.
Especially since he inherited it from his father, that's so sweet. Makes it just that much more special.
@@TheAwkwardBanana He didn't inherit it, he says he had to buy it from his father's estate.
Why are people hating on this guy and his car? It's an awesome car and he's in love with it. Yall are mad because the car is unreliable and expensive? Why is that something to be mad about? All I hear is jealousy.
people are miserable. Thats why.
Exactly, I love my Mini but I run into haters often too.
@@FurkanCemTurfanda I loved my GP2 - I had number 226 (If I remember correctly). This little car used to smoke my mates RS3 around the bends on Cap Town mountain roads. After a 135i, 130i, MPS - it was a different level of fun.
These do look fun. Something great about small cars for public roads.
PS: don't let Matt scare you, hold onto it.
Jeff K i bet they are fun
But the quality (reliability) is horrible
Always something needs to be repaired
Just disgusting
4/11nightnheaven peugeot you mean
+krezo - oh well, I bought my GTI knowing it won't have Toyota Corolla reliability.
PS: I would hate to drive said corolla
If it were a Cooper S or Cooper S JCW, I'd get rid of it before it became too problematic. But with the GP, that's definitely a keeper.
used to work at bmw and mini and the gp's were a blast to drive,
I'm sure people will complain about something but I enjoyed the video he loves the car and cool to see his dads car being cared for
Yeah as much as I dislike these cars because I see to many of them and they don't make sense to me, I can't hate on the fact that they are fun. If they weren't fun then people wouldn't be enjoying them so much. Personally I can never get myself to like them because they are overpriced and I can get sick RWD cars for the money, possibly an AMG, it can lift off oversteer but it doesn't drift, some of them don't let you turn on the ESP and the system won't let you give it throttle while steering (probably not hard to bypass though), it's complete shit on the autobahn and I just don't like the looks and the interior (except the shifter and wheel). Looks and interior never stopped me from liking a car though.
Had an 06 R53 with a bunch of bolt ons...was a complete riot and nothing went wrong. Miss that car.
facelifted R53 are pretty sturdy
i enjoyed how excited this guy was, looked like he had a blast lol.
Finally, I had to scroll through like half a page of comments to make sure someone said this
I work at a mini dealer, r56 engine is known to have issues after 50k miles. We replace lots of engines. That aside, mini owners are people with money and can pay to play. They are ridiculously fun cars for their intended purpose, canyons and tight roads are amazing. They are special cars as far as options too, there really isn't another car like this you can customize so much. I see off road road oriented countryman with rally lights of them that people take to the logging roads, I see tracked minis that people race at thunder hill. These cars are really awesome if you can afford it. I don't have one btw, I would lease one for sure though.

Grenade at 50,000...
That is...

Special.
Why I won't own one :) But they sure are fun to drive when you don't own it.
turbo engines, though, right? the na motors are better, no?
I’ve had an R56 non-s with the n16 engine. That engine is so goddamn reliable. When I sold it, it had 300k kilometers on it. The only thing I needed to replace in the the last 100k kilometers was the pcv valve. I replaced the whole valve cover
Thanks to donut media and everything you need to know to get up to speed I know exactly who John cooper is and what this cars history is nice lil build

At 2:55 Matt says "zoom-zoom" for some odd reason thinking this is a Mazda...
I drive an 05 JCW. Im a biggg mini fan. Just something about it. Small, unique, nimble. It's literally a go-kart.
And I agree about getting tickets in these things. Drives me crazy!
03 JCW here... after my second impoundment, I was relucatantly forced to take off my lead driving shoes and install a radar detector.
I love this guy, he's so stoked on his car. I don't give two shits about Minis but I clicked on this because I was bored and watched the whole thing. That's a true enthusiast
It is so wonderful seeing people so passionate and excited by their cars, great video.
sorry to hear about your dad, your amazing smile and positive attitude will be making proud
I've driven a few working at bmw and mini. Plenty of power, great handling, transmission is butter plus bmw interior/infotainment. Fell in love w them the first time i drove one
I honestly think Minis are near perfect. Quick, efficient, practical, can cut through traffic like a knife through butter, and hang with much more expensive cars in the twisties.
they are great, but reliability wise are terrible especially r56s engines (drinks oil like crazy, and many other problems). You can have Fiesta for less money and is rock solid compare. I prefer how Fiesta drives.
This Mini GP 2 is perfect from factory!!! I have #203 in my garage! This car was both track car of the year and car of the year for Evo Magazine! This is an amazing car. No after market part is needed.
I have #0147. I've put some mods on it - not over the top, makes the car like it could have been from the factory if they weren't trying to hit a price point. Tune, Quaife limited slip diff, downpipe, sway bar. That's all it really needed to be perfect.
#1892 here. Such a fun car and never fails to make me smile.
Back in the day - Had me an 1963 Austin Mini Cooper 997 and a little later the Cooper S 1275, do I wish I had them now :)
These cars are quick and nimble enough straight from the factory - modifying them is borderline insanity! Great job.
Minis are rather portly for their small size; they look ~500 lbs lighter than they usually are.
I dunno, seems that the sure-fire mod is to remove excess 'go-slower' weight like the back seats, noise baffling, install a smaller battery etc before touching any mechanical internals.
shaft9000 true there's weight savings to be had, but having had a passenger ride in a MY17 JCW, I was very impressed. My daily drive is a Fiesta ST for comparison and the mini holds its own very well. What it might lack in weight saving, it makes up for with a very nice interior - way better than my own Fiesta. I'd buy one if I weren't so happy with my pocket rocket!
I’mma a MINI guy!😂 R53 for life!
R53 is the only legit mini after the old ones . Love mine
R53 elitist checking in, yes, R53 is the best gen and the GP1 is the best of the best. I own a regular R53, GP1 is illegal in Canada as it was never sold here, have to wait till 2021 (15 years rule) to import one from the States. Prices are climbing though...
@@monsieurdiecasts3393 Canadian R53 JCW elitist checking in here as well... I had no idea that the GP1's are not allowed to be imported here, I just thought they weren't sent to our market, only to the states and europe? I've seen a number of GP2's around and never a GP1 so that makes sense.
R56 is a better daily, and still the same chassis as an R53. I do like the R53 though don't crucify me 😂😂
R56 gp
I've got a modified 05 Mini Cooper S with 140,000 miles and shes still running hard.
Making about 200 to the wheel and still have more mods to come
geronimo Apperson thinking about buying one( i now hace an r52). Recomendations for getting the right one?
@@francogroppi406 The best years for R53 are 05-06 for two main reasons, optional LSD and better geared transmissions. Also, the xenons are much more stylish, but those can easily be swapped to an older model as I did with my 03 JCW. I would opt for the JCW IF you can find one, even if it's an 03 or 04, but they're fairly rare. I would look for one without a sunroof if you care about performance/handling. It's about 75 lbs up above you where you don't want it for driving dynamics sake. Lastly, as with all cars, low km and well maintained with service records is key.
I probably would never buy a mini but I would sure like to drive that one in the canyons like you just did. Excellent wheel choice too.
I have a 2016 Cooper S and are overjoyed about its performance. I watch tons of Minis being driven around New England by a bunch of little old lady drivers doing 25 mph. In reality, you can zoom through the New England back country at thrilling speeds and lots of curves.
I will build a huge virtual army, but instead of gunpowder, I will issue them balls powder
Lol at the “cold” air intake pulling hot air directly from the engine bay...
10/10, would drive! Currently I own r53, and it's pure fun. Pretty cool car for the price.
I drove this car both before and after the suspension was done. It's a great car and TC Kline is a genius with suspension, both in materials and settings. Oh, and hi there J.P.
These things look like a riot, makes me want to drive a small car again. As much fun as my 6MT 5 series is, there's nothing like chucking a small hot hatch around some corners
This is what mini’s do to people. Unlimited happiness 🤩
Not sure what you mean by "at 50k they tend to fall apart"
Mine is going on 190k and its still totally solid and reliable.
You must not have a 2007-2010 MINI.
Those years tarnished the name.
@@ModMINI indeed, the N14 engine
@@monsieurdiecasts3393 Those were Peugeot engines, I believe.
@@ickedude6759 N18 is also a Peugeot engine and they are very good.
@@lowcountrydawg2525 those were the 1.6s, if I'm not mistaken
Glad to see how excited the owner is!
I love the GP1 and GP2. I'm hoping I can find a low mileage GP1 in a few years. My r53 was a favorite car of mine when I had it.
Love these cars! I've wanted a street legal go-kart for years.
Did he get a cold air intake? I didn't quite get that.
And it's not even a cold air intake... Thats more like a hot air intake
I mean it's right below the massive bonnet scoop
That "massive bonnet scoop" is half blocked off from the factory anyway, and the intake sits behind the engine about 1.5 feet back from where the scoop is. I've had that intake on my Mini, it's fine once you're moving and makes a whole bunch of noise which is fun, but once you get below 20 MPH or sit for about 30 seconds, the intake temps spike up to 100F faster than a thermometer in boiling water. The AEM intake is a much better kit for the money as it has a attachment on the hood that funnels air into the airbox from the hood scoop. Or you could just use the stock airbox which has a cold air feed from the grille anyway. The NM intake in the video is just an open filter sitting between the valve cover and the intake manifold.
As long as it makes zututu sounds that's all that matters lmao
For a turbo-charged car, hell even supercharged... -basically anything with an intercooler negates the "hot air intake" setup anyway. The intercooler does like 99.9% of the cooling job as the air is going to get hot anyway from the compression of air, so you could run with no intake at all, just having the turbo suck in air unfiltered and it would make no noticeable performance difference if it's running an intercooler or even with no intercooler, but with a water/methanol injection kit.
Non-forced induction cars are usually the ones that benefit from long intake tubes to suck in air from a cold place. But for a turbo car, it's pointless and you just add a hydro-locking risk for virtually no reward.
Love the GP. Such a cool car!
iam about to hit 150,000 miles on my 05 r53 runs like a champ!
I had the Sumis in my old car and I can attest to the quality of those tires. TireRack ranked them amazingly.
The resale on these things are insane.
Respect for buying back his father's car!
Matt i have had the Sumitomo HTRZ III in the past on a Subaru and as a summer tire they stick very well and temps 50 and up. The Japanese company owns and manufactures Falken Tires and some Dunlop Products as well. Very good tires for the money!
The best Mini Cooper body style ever made
Nice car man and RIP to pops man much respect on the mini
Die hard MINI fan, I have a 2016 Cooper S and I've been looking for another car. But I think I've finally decided just to mod my Cooper S a bit to keep it fresh, and then as soon as we can order the new GP, I'm getting it.
A lot of cars fall apart before hitting 80k it all depends on the driver and how about all the people that wreck brand new cars fresh out of the dealer, hate on that instead not someone who has a nice mini you can have lots of fun in. People act like it’s fallen apart already.
I've got 163k on my r53 s runs perfect
Started right up in 4° weather after sitting for a month
That howling sloth moon t-shirt is dope!
Yea, don't get rid of it, just keep the miles down and it will serve you well. Just because one had problems doesn't mean they all will and this one has collector value. I would hang on to it and keep the mileage down to preserve the collector value.
One thing about the performance minis is damn do they make a 4pot sound good.
I miss my MINI. I had the same NM CF intake this guy has, a ton of stuff from Alta and a custom titanium exhaust :(
cars like this only make me long for a clio v6 or R5 turbo2 - but we don't get those kinds of toys in the USA.
hot-hatch j-turns and liftoff OS are nice but in the end FWD is like having an itch... but you can only scratch part of one ball.
That's a warm air intake
Garret McTavish It certainly is.
pretty sure it has a hood scoop that goes right to where the intake is
The stock intake pulls air from right behind the front grill and is a true cold air intake.
Sweet hot exhaust air intake bruh
catnapwat how about that shoe lace holding it to the strut tower brace... gtfoh
Can someone explain how a "cold air intake" like the one installed works, since its placed directly above the engine that generates a LOT of heat..
it's so sad that these are not relaible up to today. My uncle had a first gen cooper and he got hooked severel times when the car became 10 years old.
Pretty fast for a little car like that :) nice
Ah I love the gp wheels I wonder if he still has the OEM wheels
Anyone else get sad each time a new One Take pops up knowing we’re nearing the end?
Superstickx you’re not excited about a watch podcast???
Silverhold no, I have chronomentrophobia
I had Sumitomos once on an old Prelude, very cheap and didn't last long but good tires.
He has a water pump brake down and what else ? I really couldn't understand the second setence @10:28, can anyone clarify please ?
i got a peugoet 207 lemans series (same engine) and they are very tricky cars and often full of problems....if you are thinking to add more power you should deffinately consider forged pistons and rods
always wanted one of these
Awesome owner, great personality
I have one of these near where I live and it makes a real loud whining sound but it's sounds amazing. Almost as if it's electric. Idk what this noise is though
Supercharger. It's the previous generation of Mini's that are all supercharged.
I can’t be the only one that tried to scratch that spot off my phone screen.
Awesome car, love the GP looks. Great purchase.
I think Mini marketed the 2013-15 Mini Cooper Coupe John Cooper Works is the fastest, no?
I miss old Matt, new Matt seems car jaded now (understandably so) with all the cars he has driven.
What tires do you have? I don't know. Closed the video
Yessssss finally the gp
My favorite passengers so far. LOL
Such an underrated car
The more people think they are unreliable the better for the people that really know about the reliable engines lol
Im usually not a fan of the minis, but Thats a good lookin car,
Thermostat issue is big on R56. i gotta change mine again this weekend, second time :/
Doesnt a "Cold Air intake" just negate the intercooler?
This car pulls better than my friends ex wife at their divorce case
I guess he tried to say Sumitomo HTRZ iii 😂😂😂 very good tire, not given the credit it deserves!
Only if you have never heard of Michelin, Bridgestone or Pirelli.
Macht Schnell not really, big brand tires only come to shine on high end tires (pilot super sport, cup 2, Pirelli trofeo R) that cost 4 times a Sumitomo tire of course I expect them to be better, read some reviews about it, I’m not making it up some people even comparethe Sumitomos to the “mighty” pilot super sport, beat the Hankook V12, i personally use them and track them, and can assure for what they cost they are an outstanding tire.
Macht Schnell a good set of summer sumitomos will wash 90% of Major Brand tires at damn near half the price. I love my Pilots and Trofeos etc but don't hate on a brand you obviously never used or tried. Quality tire.
ThePrinceOfSanDiego true! What do you use the sumitomos on?
minis are fun cars. even the basic mini s 6 speed is like a go kart. i feel like they're underappreciated but i do not like working on them. good looking car nevertheless.
Cool. I had a Mini Cooper S, great car. I need to review one for my RUclips channel
Little off on how much power you can squeeze out of them , software will take his car to 300hp , turbo up grade can easily go to 400whp although upgraded internals will be needed. Heck there are a few r53's busting 400whp. As always enjoy all you vids
Matt would you prefer the tuned Fiesta ST over Mini Cooper JCW GP?
God I miss my r53 S the supercharger whine was soo good. They definitely fall apart after 100k though, shame as you’ll be pressed to find a low mileage now
09 R56 JCW here. I bought it 3 years ago with 56k miles. 17k miles later I’ve spent almost 60% of the purchase price on maintenance. I’ve also got a ‘13 BMW 135i. It’s faster and much more refined. The Mini is pretty much a rich guy’s cheap car.
God I miss my R56 Cooper S. I currently have a MK6 GTI and it’s like novocaine in comparison. The GTI is probably just as capable but it doesn’t “feel” it.
I'm moving to an R56 Cooper S after my Mk6 Golf GTI suffered chain failure. Can't wait to find the right one.
Thing has a nice stance 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Needed to leave the GP stripe decal on it! Looks naked with just the GP decal on the side lol
he's so excited about that cold air intake he had to say it twice
but does it have cold air intake tho?
Since when is a cone filter sucking pre-heated under hood air a CAI modification?
I must have missed that memograph.
Im running the same tires. They are pretty dam good for how cheap they are.
I have an 04 mini s with the jcw kit 120k miles driven hard. Only thing it's needed is clutch so much for unreliable. Also I've taken some impressive cars on the track with it . Biggest issue is the lack of LSD. I sadly didn't have the money to do the LSD when I did my clutch.
Mr. Farah, I just bought a vava dash cam, can I come on the podcast now?
"I love the Spacement of the pedals..." Just because you write well doesn't mean you get to make up words, Matt. lol
Lmao hearing him saying he got a fuckload of tickets is funny af because I got quite a bit in my '12 cooper S , got a 107 in a 50 recently, a God damn 380 dollar ticket, but so much God damn fun doing it honestly
lol talking about tires, they're Sumitomo HTRZII on this Mini. Pretty much same guys as Falken and Dunlop in case anyone wanted to know
Wil Wheaton has a twin brother who owns a mini :o
When your air filter is open it ain't cold air. Specially at the back of the engine where the heat is being pushed. Use a cone but put it in a box
The Neuspeed stuff is marketed under the name NM Engineering. Nice stuff for the MINI.
I have a 2004 r52. I was thinking about buying a r53 or a r56. Please if anyone could throw me some tips and diferencws about each other it would be great. I livve around very crapy roads
Is this AcademeG logo?
Does anyone know where they film these? What canyon?
The owner is awesome!
You should get a tune from Manic, it will really wake that beast up.
Tires are either Sumitomo htrz II or htrz III I'd guess based on his slurred description. Good tires
I had HTR-Z II's on my Integra back in the day and they were junk.
HTRZ III's are great from from what I've heard. Dont know about the 2's
