old vs new

[matt21]

had a play in the new Works yesterday.

had so much more low down torque than mine and more fuel efficient. all round seemed better but lacked some of the sparkle of the R53. however did seem to struggle to get its power down on the slippy roads as the torque came in!

heres a couple of pics of them both

Looking good

The old stlye looks alot nicer from the front, new one better from the side

What does the exhaust note on the new JCW sound like?

[matt21]

sounds quite deep and nice. pops aswell

If you were to order a new JCW (come on you know you want to ) opt for the LSD. Only £110, and worth every penny for what it is. R56 all way after having both an R56 and an R50 im afraid

my r53 has LSD and must admit makes a big difference

specced the LSD on my R56 S and definately a must - the car has so much torque, it's a struggle on the roads at the moment to get any grip!
