Hello Everyone!

I am a brand new member and am picking up my MCS I ordered in Hyper blue/White Premium, Chrono, and winter pack today after work.

I already have an Alta 17% pulley ordered and may have some questions re install.

This is my first 4cyl. car since the 1980's. My other vehicles include:
'06 Mustang GT, '05 Saleen s281 (for sale), 1972 Cheverolet Monte Carlo

I look forward to communicatiing with all of you and hope to meet some local members in the NW suburbs of Chicago.

Cheers,
"Cooped up"

 

Congrats on the Mini and Welcome to NAM. My bro had a 72 White Monte Carlo in New York, he really loved that car!!

 

Congrats! We want Pics! I have a HB/W coming in soon... should be only a few more weeks.
My son is driving a 04 Mustang GT.. he loves it..
I'm trading in my 01 BMWZ3.

 

Welcome to NAM & congrats on a great car. Very nice colors you've picked. I recently put a 15% pulley on mine & man are you going to like that. Transforms the car.

 

It's a big day for you! Congrats and welcome to NAM!

 

i remember that day
i could hardly sleep the night before

 

Excellent. How did you sleep the night before? Congrats...and hello.

You just missed a great run last weekend up Sheridan Rd... but you're going to want to mark your calendar for 10/29 for the CMMC Starved Rock run oh yeah.. you're NOT going to want to miss this one.

 

Ohh beat me to it.

Welcome to our obession (NAM)

You'll find a great community here and a fun group of MINI owners in CMMC.

What dealer? And which burbs? We'll be keeping an eye out for you, so be sure to wave There is also a meet up in Milwakuee (catching up with a group from Michigan) this Fri. Hope to see you out motoring soon.

Be sure to post some pics after you're done motoring tonight.

 

Thanks all of you! Just picked it up and here are the picts! Slept fine the night before, but couldn't sleep the night after I bought it.

I took it to work today and the Mini became a ride! Everyone wanted to ride in it.

Some people have me worried about the Alta 17% pulley throwing belts and I'm wondering if I should swap it for a 15. OOps, Sorry. I will go to the proper thread and ask that question.

I will try to add an avatar this weekend and do a signature.

 

Purchased a Knauz Mini in Lake Bluff not far from where I live. Options include: body color dash, anthracite headliner, cold pkg, Premium pkg,front fogs,H/K sound,Chrono pkg, Bonnet stripes,Ipod adapter, Blue shift ****, wheel locks,Rubber mats incl.cargo mat.

 

Looks sweet (If I ordered that is the color combo I would have gotten) I too ordered through Knauz, very pleased with their service on the whole.


Knauz, who was your MA?

Something with the Pulley, all belts wear over time. If you do a 17 or 19 then you should replace the belt withone that it is the proper size. Also the greater the reduction the hotter oil will run so if you plan on doing road racing at the track then it is not reccomended to have a higher reduction. On the whole pulleis have tended to be reliable, recently I've heard of a handful (out of thousands) that have had significant issues, much I believe was due to quality of install.

 

 

Great looking car Cooped Up! Congratulations.

How do you like the HB dash interior?

 

I am really glad I ordered the colored dash. It looks more nostagic and has heritage roots. Most cars of today seldom have that.

P.S. David O. was my MA @ Knauz.

 

Very nice, COOPED UP! Happy Motoring!!!

 

Welcome to the Cooper club!

 

Beautiful! Congratulations!

 

sweet!

 

The sunlight on that left back fender is awesome. Congrats, gives me a taste of what I'm waiting on.

 

Great looking car! Wish I'd gotten the HB dash interior......

HAPPY MOTORING!
