I'm considering going that route now since I know it fits in such a clever spot!

Yeah I went with that OBDII because it doesn't stick down where the dead pedal is but instead I just run the wire up and that bracket I just custom made out of some 1/8 inch aluminum stock and taped into the dash support. And I just unplug it when I'm not using it to not kill the battery on accident when the car is off. So far I have no complaints.

Yep it is awesome handles like a dream I figured out tonite when I went to get some coffee just to have a place to drive and it was wet and didn't even have to worry about the coffee spilling even though I took the curviest road I knew of around it was so stable and controlled in every corner

I am actually in school studying to be a mechanical engineer right now, but it really came from I have always just had a nack for working on things and acceling at both challenges and anything that was mechanical. My dad and older brother are very mechanical people, but alot of it is just self learning and researching, I will ask help when I need it so I don't screw something up but most of it is just prep and making sure to do everything as best as possible.

It is a snapon scissors lift. It is for cars and very helpful on the mini as hard as everything is to jack on, I used it to lift the car, worked on the car, and when I pulled the front sub frame I just lifted the car put it on jacks and then used the scissors lift the drop the subframe from the car. It all worked awesome making me able to do the subframe drop by myself and put it back up too.
