Ok well the other day I swapped out my diverter valve and the issue is much better, but not totally gone, so I ordered the spring upgrade from Alta, but the over the weekend I got a good deal on a DV+ from a forum member, so that’s on its way.
Today I went and finally found someone up here who is willing to delete my 2nd cat and resonator, dang what a chore! It will be worth the $100 to have someone else do it, lol. That’s on the books for next Monday. I have a boost tap from NM coming today for my boost gauge......guess what I’m doing tonight ;-)

New Antenna and Roof Racks
Replaced antenna with this little stubby. Out of the way of my low garage door.

Removed the WI plates and the CravenSpeed front plate holder from Lucy and put on the new PA plate. Then took here for the PA inspection. Clean bill of health and ready to motor.

Today I put these new stickers on my car. heh heh... I got them from Mariokart when he did a stage 3 tune on my Duncan today.
I should have done this long ago! If you are at all on the fence about it, just do it! Believe me, you won’t regret it. My R60 feels nimble and quick.....it is a totally different car. It was a great day, hanging out with Mario, Nik, and Armondo, Tuning cars and talking Mini’s!
Thanks again Mario!!

Ordered a new flywheel, clutch, fork, pivot pin and other goodies to replace the factory crap that went out on me while driving!! The cost to replace this thing is crazy, its the first time I've opted to let a shop do it for me since its an all4 and the labor was cheaper than parts haha!

I took my recently purchased (Tuesday) 2015 Mini Cooper S Countryman All4 out for a drive in heavy rain. I started with smooth high speed highway, then over country paved roads that are typical southern Indiana up and down short steep hills, at times only 1-1/4 lanes wide. After being deep in the country going around 15mph turns and 80mph straight flats, I turned down a gravel road to nowhere to check out the "off-road" capability although I knew what it would do from my previous 2012 model. As I pulled back into the driveway I knew it was the right decision to get into a Mini Cooper S. I love these cars.

I'm a week late, but last Friday I installed a catless downpipe, new plugs and got a Stage 2 RPM tune from Mario Palza. The day before, I had KW coilovers and an NM 22mm rear sway bar installed. It was like a spa weekend for my girl. She gets more love than her owner for sure.

It burbles and pops a lot more and the burbles are lower and sound more robust. The pops can be pretty loud, but everyone that has heard it so far thought it sounded really great and were surprised it’s the stock exhaust.
