Did an oil change and put on SS brake lines.

Picking up a few upgrades today... I'm going to be upgrading my turbo soon from the current 47mm to a 7 blade 51mm.

Still need to get the aluminum cold side IC pipe on and install the newer Helix FMIC.

The car was pretty much shot. I had to strip it to trace any cut or shewed wires. Same was in the front. I am still unsure how the car died, but it looked like it took a pretty high revers voltage that fried most of the ecu's.

here is a link for the details

"pump the brakes kiddo"

After dealing with ECS constant back orders for 5 months on a set of rotors. I canceled my order with ECS and went with CARID. within a week i had my new rotors and finally got down to business. did plenty of mods to make the ride faster, now its time for some stopping power. upgrades included; ECS steel b-lines, stop-tech drilled and slotted rotors (front and back,) power stop pads, painted calipers, neuspeed adjustable cam arms and meagan 1.5" lowering springs.

thanks, i looked at your web site, i couldn't find any slotted and drilled rotors on your site for my mini. could you send me a link so i could look at what you have to offer on slotted and drilled rotors? I get that shortages happen but if a web site says "in stock" it should be in stock. I didn't get notified for about 30 days after the order, then even when i called ECS to see what was going on I was tolled it would deff be in stock in a few days. that went on for 2 months....... after 3 more months of receiving emails that my order was on back order every week, i decided to go with another company.

the ride is defiantly stiffer and takes the luxury out of the ride. I like it, being able to feel more of the road and corners better. however the passengers don't like the stiffer ride but they are not the ones connecting with the road. I haven't cut the under lining yet so when i'm motoring above 70 mph on freeways and i hit a dip, i hear a lot of rubbing in the back and sometimes, its a rough hit due to the stiffness.

Fixed My TPMS Light

New to the MINI world and Im Lovin it! (Mickey Ds Theme Song). I personally didn't fix the sensor MINI Of Concord did. They are a solid group of people over there. Tossed in a Rental car so there was no worries of losing a day off. Put My first Thousand Mile on the ride and they have been great. I love the look on peoples face when you speed off. The damn that thing can move look. Anyhow! To many more Miles.

Thank Project Mini
