As a previous JCW owner they are fantastic drivers cars BUT they are unreliable... if your OK throwing alot of money at it because of weak design they are a brilliant when driven hard. Very capable little car. That 1 was definitely not standard.
@@CharlieboySLONDON so many uninformed people making comments it's truly sad. The first gen motor First turbo engine mini Cooper was named a prince n14 engine. Was 2008-2012 second refresh which was basically a whole new redesigned engine was the n18 came in the 2013-2014 jcw cars and extremely reliable.

Volkswagen make phenomenal special edition cars, they are absolute firecrackers! Love the Aston brakes, want to do a big break kit on my edition 40 but it’s very costly… Great video as always Misha
@@JakeyWils Cupra brakes are 4piston, basically the same as the first generation TTRS calipers which I have. I am currently putting those on my A3 8P, which is basically a golf 5/6 platform. They are a straight fit, you just need different wheels to fit (18inch+ with the right offset)
Misha I have seen a lot of your videos but this one is by far my favourite, humble car not overly modified and you're driving it hard locked in a battle with another similar car. Very entertaining and authentic!
There are little rubber grommets inside the door that cause the squeak, I trimmed mine down and it went away for awhile but the noise just comes back 😪
'Quick hands Misha' - some very quick corrections required to keep it on-line, esp in the early part of the lap! So controlled and considerate - always checking the mirror to check for faster cars. The Mini was quick, and no-way was he/she going to move over!
:( no speedo . Lately its quite often missing, usually cause it gets unstuck :) . Speedo is one of the most interesting things to observe and compare about different car's corner speeds in specific sections or on straights.
For anyone curious, 130 Degree eot is what tiguan's of that era achieve when trying to pass a lorry. I wish i was kidding, but fixing those engines bought me my house soooooo
Михаил, приветствую, объясни этому мальчику из Англии, что когда спереди меняешь тормоза то блок АБС дует сколько заложено с завода. И в итоге спереди тормоза больше и он перетормаживает. Баланса тормозов нет. Нужно добавить сзади 310 мм и перепрошить блок тормозов на блок от Audi s3 8p. Там как раз такие. 345 Brembo 4pot + 310 от R или пусть вернет сток. Будет лучше. А то он так и будеть ловить машину при каждом торможении 😊
hey misha keep doing what you are doing dude, greetings from singapore, i hope to one day go on the nurgburgring for a joy ride too that is one of my dreams.
What is the critical oil temperature? I haven’t seen manufacturers placed this kind of info. When I drive my golf 6 even with 1.4 TSi 180 km/h on autobahn for a while, the temperature raises up to 120C.
does someone has the IG or UA-cam of the mini owner ? I had the exact same one, but mine wasn't as fast at this one lol, I am curious about the power his car makes
Mk6 has a bad brake balance. Hi need to rear R brakes 310 mm and chip abs block from Audi s3 8p 345 brembo 4 pot + 310 R. Or better come back stock. After hard braking the tail of mk6 try to faster than front. And I think the owner don y understand it ). Big brake front big problems with balance of the car )))))
That Mini was flying. It had way more straight line speed than I expected!
The MK6 has a timeless design👌
216HP 260Nm in a 1300kg little car makes it very fast
@@wassilia1234 definently visible in the corner speed
@@wassilia1234 It was also definitely not stock, as said in the video. The golf is not much heavier and has a lot more power.
The golf almost dies trying to keep up with the mini 😁😁
@@banaana1234 MINI has LSD which can make a difference too
That dogfight with the mini was epic
Those minis are little rocketships
@@nigelboom3943i dont even Start races with a gti or R Golf 🤣... Victims...
I like this guy. Just happy to be there riding along 😎
I've always said it, the r56 s/jcw mini Cooper generation is hugely underrated
Guy was giving it some welly!!!
its a nice car. but this mini was no way near stock..

You can put the Cupra ones, they aren't that expensive
Vw ag has a great parts bin. It's all in the choice and assembly.
Do you have any recommendations? I’ll take a look at the Cupra brakes thank you

Fantastic. Love the GTI's. Always gonna be a good lap. Love the sound of the gear changes too.✌
Sounds way better than the 7.5 / 8 GTI
@@omedonnie deffo
Just awesome to see the little race between those two very similiar cars, especially how the mini went trough the bends.
Nice having a target car in front as well, Illustrates the drive line and mistakes when compared to Misha's line.
Loved it :-)
Need more Minis I love seeing people confused when they’re scooting past most traffic😂
6:45 yelling "IS THAT A SUPRA!" is the only reasonable response.
1:48 Ahh the infamous summertime squeaky window on the MK6.
Yes! The Bain of my life
And Mk7
There are little rubber grommets inside the door that cause the squeak, I trimmed mine down and it went away for awhile but the noise just comes back 😪
Get into that Mini next 🔥🔥🔥😉
Love seeing a well sorted GTI! Makes me even more excited to get mine on track next week!
The mk6 is a classic design. Looks timeless.
That Mini was on one! Good driving as always Misha!
Great video! Love the idea of Aston Martin brakes on a Golf.
R56 jcw cars are so underated plus a manual vs auto
Can tell how good the r56 is through the corners
Nicely balanced GTI. Sounds great too.
As a fellow Mini owner, that Mini is definitely not stock lol.. I’d love to see Misha drive that.
Probably a stage 1 car 250ish hp as its a lot lighter then the golf GTI in this gen
@@Modmaann Most likely stage 2 or above. Standard intercooler would suffer from heatsoak. STage 1 also only gets you to around 230
Single person in it also maybe??

you gotta get a lap in the JCW mini Misha!
The Aston calipers is the same as the RS3 4pot brembos fitted to your Apex Cupra. Just different OE
Just a sticker 🤣
Most big brembo,s fit it's just a sticker 🤣
no crackle/pop bs ! GG
Good. They sound awful!!
@@bristolcityboy1 Agree 100%! 👍
I love these hot hatch cars for some reason!
1:47 gotta love the windows crying in excitement for a lap with misha :)
I've got a Mk6 and mine does the same thing.
@@scottjacobsen2889 its kind of hilarious, I'd never want to fix it if I had a mk6
Such a shame so many people go stage one but do not upgrade the intercooler or oil cooler.
Great lap though, love the battle with the Mini.
Oil cooler now added to aid temperatures 😁
@@rh105_2 Nice!
@@rh105_2 do you run a stock exhaust? I'm debating on a downpipe for mine
@@rh105_2 might be time for a hybrid turbo after seeing that mini. I went with the CTS ko4X and she’s good for 400hp
Here to see how Mini goes... 😁
The crisp shift of a DSG sounds so good
This golf GTI 🚀 that Mini JCW 🚀🚀
:( no speedo . Lately its quite often missing, usually cause it gets unstuck :) . Speedo is one of the most interesting things to observe and compare about different car's corner speeds in specific sections or on straights.
Crisp shifting, engine pulls only ting to focus on is keeping the engine and brakes cooled enough
Was für ein angenehmer Beifahrer
That mini had some serious power 😅
The bump in 1:56 hurt everyone, see his face!!
Amazing Mini
I enjoyed that to see two cars similar speed. Good lap
Just pull out the abs fuse and no more stability controll just analog fun 😜
i like the dog fighting with mini gentlemanly but the car made me nervous at braking. overall that was good lap. Thank You
Typical mistake: Fitting big front brakes and forgot to upgrade the rear to Golf R brakes.
For anyone curious, 130 Degree eot is what tiguan's of that era achieve when trying to pass a lorry. I wish i was kidding, but fixing those engines bought me my house soooooo

Reminds me on how important the Speedo cam is to me.. 😢
I like the GTI sound though.. 😅
hey misha keep doing what you are doing dude, greetings from singapore, i hope to one day go on the nurgburgring for a joy ride too that is one of my dreams.
I’ve got one - you can turn the stability off, you keep holding the traction button until it says ECS or ESC (stability control) off
140 oil temp is huge. Oil burns at around 150. Hope he didn't wait at all to change his oil, or he can get new bearings
Nice mini !
That Supra was chilling. I bet it was waiting for overnight parts from Japan.
Good lap.
I really want to do a back seat delete on my golf 6 gti as well, looks nice with that red bar and it has more sound
Most cars can hang with the the mini in the twisties.Impressive straight line speed too.
Sounds so goooood
Hi @misha love your videos. Hope we can see a tuned r53 one day ;)
Nice Video Misha, find the Driver of the Mini and make with him a lap Video too.. Cheers
Him watching the Speedo like 👀❗
The only thing that Mini needs to help it stay out front is a single person in it instead of driver and passenger.
Love GTI mk6 👉 pilot 🔝
Guy:"I think seats are next upgrade"
Misha:Im going to be polite and just say "Your oil is 140°"
xD
Oil cooler has already been equipped ready for next time! 😂🤜🏻
@RH105_ Nice, does your car have mechanical LSD? And also, any plans for downpipe and stage 2 remap?
That mini 🔥🔥
That a pretty good lap with the mini infront would love to hear owner side and you in the finish like always...
Somewhere, a DB9 can't stop.
Dunno if I can approve of that.
😂😂😂 love this
Great video! Love my mk6
Man I love these cars, too bad we didn't get this edition in NA
Further evidence of why we need to see you do a lap in built 1st/ 2nd gen minis.
Is there an extra oil radiator mounted by factory in this GTI gen? Didn't have GTI before, I'm curious. Oil reached 140 C. as stated in the video.
I don’t think there is, since video I have added an external oil cooler bringing temps down to a reasonable 110 hot.
@@rh105_2 Looks like it isn’t a standard in compact segment. Thx for reply.
Nah it doesnt have that
Nice race
Now I want Aston Martin brakes.
Misha put speedo next time, it's much better that way. ;-)
Nice driving and attempt Misha, but those JCW is soo much powerful and faster (driver)
Best video Misha atb 😎
I've seen a lot of GTI's, would love to see a lap in a classic Mini, like the one behind the Golf in the parking lot. :)
Mini was on it he probably that man this car is on me

Stage 1 315 is this guy having a piss 😂
Edition 35, 173kw standard.
That was really good fun 👍😀👏
Mooie ronde.
Good video
How did all snow already melt? January in a tshirt? Hm simulation?
Where did you saw a GP 2? 😂
Truth has it that Mini is Misha Ghost run and we trying to catch it!
that kinda looks like the Mini JCW GP. so theoretically could be stock?
Thanks💫🏎️
Sooo good car mini,gti😎😎👍👍❤️Mischa 😎😎😎👍✊️👏
Keep the seats bro. I get you can get more supportive ones but They look epic!
That car needs an oil change for sure
Does this car have lsd? The mk5 misha drove had way more understeer
B12 vs. B14: Can anyone tell from experience what the difference is? Thanks!
You can turn off ESP, with a bit of coding.
Can’t stability control be disabled with something like OBDeleven?
yup! or vcds
Please start recording in 60fps!
I cant believe Im saying it but the GTI is actually struggling to keep up with that Mini especially on the straits.
Prob becuse he got more bolt on stuff
Also driving solo, which makes a significant difference.
🔥🔥
This is not R , But properly bubbling sound .
Has Misha been driving so fast cars that I feel that a Golf GTI is not that fast?
Mk6 has a bad brake balance. Hi need to rear R brakes 310 mm and chip abs block from Audi s3 8p 345 brembo 4 pot + 310 R. Or better come back stock. After hard braking the tail of mk6 try to faster than front. And I think the owner don y understand it ). Big brake front big problems with balance of the car )))))
Can anyone tell me if the exhaust is original like this? Or what is done?
This is a sports cat with a 3” Cat-back exhaust custom made 😊😊
those curb rashes 😬
Yeah big yikes he needs to stop checking for the curb with his wheels and start using his eyes 😢
I find it cute when you don’t listen to dialogue in videos… new tyres = tyre lube = no curbs ❤
Pretty sure it’s tyre soap lad😂 did you miss the part saying ‘brand new ar1’s on the front’
That's tyre lube as fresh tyres on 🤦♂️ trust me he keeps his car mint👌
Tyre lube ever heard of it? When filming the brakes u can see that obvious. Please don't speak when ur brain is not working properly.
