Excellent.....

 

im in and might consider having something, possibly a pulley, installed.

 

DATE, TIME and ADDRESS.

April 29th 11am to 5pm

Host, Dustin and Karen, 413 E Lake Ave Round Lake Beach IL 60073
Watch your speed up here, lots of cops and low speed limits.

3 car garage, NO lift. Big driveway!

We have no tools or equipment, if you think you will need something BRING IT with you. I was going to change out my brakes, but after Jacobs inspected them I'm good for the summer. However would like to use my car for a brake inspection clinic.

All are welcome, even Monday morning QB's.

Please post what TIME your planning to stop by and the work you want to do.

 

I can be there the whole time, chat hang out and provide an extra hand with any work anyone wants to do.

If nobody posts wanting any help in the next two weeks or so, I'm 50/50 on attending as there is a NASA Track Day in Iowa that weekend, and I'm overdue for a visit and on the fence about a descion.

 

I will probably drop in. Though it is a long drive.
It will most likely be earlier because if it is nice I want to get in some volleyball.

No work to be done at this time, but I am willing to help others.

 

I plan on dropping by.. for a little while anyways. If I can install the AUX plug beforehand, Im just coming to hangout

 

I'll be stopping by too to hang as I need the mileage to help me reach my second service before the Dragon.

 

I'll be there !!

 

Hey Paul will you have my cup holder from Japan?

 

I was thinkning about that also... I don't think I'll have enough mileage to get service before going (only at 22,300)... I guess I'll go in afterwards. I should get my brakes looked at though...

 

Still working on it. I'm going to a MINI custom shop this weekend... I want to see if they have it there before ordering it

 

I might be able to stop by and lend a hand if needed, maybe even install an Alta CAI on my car. I will have to make sure I can get off work or maybe ill suddenly come down with a cold that day

 

Hey MINI MAC, I have 45K on my org brakes and just had them looked at and was told I have till end of summer, Just an FYI, we can look at yours and mine.

 

Hey does anyone have one of the really good MINI shop manual book? If so please bring it, if you have one, but cant make it, can we get your book?

 

What you got planned?
Hmmm which pulley? It's started my wheels turning, maybe make it a 2 pulley day?

 

Just thinking it might be helpful to have the shop book around for ref.

 

I will be there. I have a 10:00 meeting but after that I will be free.

 

ill probably go with the alta 15%. Im willing to try it, but like ive said before i have no tools. i might be able to get a hold of a jack and some jackstands. do you think we can pull it off?

 

I think i'm in, prolly early/mid afternoon... is doing an exhaust a possibility? I'm been thinking about doing that for a while.

 

I don't see why it's not a possibility. I think we need to get a schedule of who's starting what when and who's helping who out though cause some things will go quicker than others.

 

oohhh do you have any stories from AMVIV to share???

so you have an exhaust laying around to put on?? how many jacks/stands are coming?? I've got a floor jack and stands if needed.

 

I can do 1 jack 4 stands easy.

 

exhaust ... not sure yet. I'm thinking Miltek or Alta, but not sure about the $800 price tag... hmmm

AMVIV? well ... what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas Seriously tho, was a good time. As i didn't have a MINI with me, i didn't go on any runs (8 hours in the passenger seat ... ugh). Seeing 2 parking garage floors of MINIs was amazing, saw some cool MINIs. Also saw the blue man group, saw some casinos, gambled, won and lost, and came home with not one but both of my kidneys.

 

always good to come back whole.. wallet or otherwise

didn't realize exhausts were that much I might have to keep mine stock for a awhile...

So I got the AUX input in the mail yesterday.. gonna try to install it this weekend... I was finally able to find my "lost" iTunes music (thanks Paul) and have loaded it to the Vision:M. I'm almost Dragon ready

 

Sweet! Installing the Aux input should be easy, i put the iPod adapter in myself... if you do wind up needing help, just give me a holler
