Good call. I know it hurts. But it's the right thing to do.

 

yah, i too think now's the time to get a new MINI.

as for my car...im not sure wat im doing... i think im just going to go
ahead with my plan of upgrading the HU and battery in my G35C and use it
as my touring car for a few more years.

i will need to get the FitS fixed though... front fender, new coilover set
(now that my kids are bigger and can handle stiffer sus), new clutch,
maybe a turbo kit.

 

I keep telling my brother to put a turbo on his Fit. There are some decent bolt on kits for them, right?

 

Yah, Id probably let my local shop do a HKS one with a small intercooler. The stock clutch shudders pretty badly so when the shop drops the tranny they can do that mod as well. (but not committed yet).

 

It just occurred to me how much stuff I am going to have to sell when I put her back to stock...holy crap...

 

Like what???

Mark

 

I'm keeping the side repeaters.

 

Ken just how short are you?



That G37 is tiny! But I do get the relaxing feeling vs the adrenaline feeling of the MCS

 

ML- yah, that's one thing I dread about selling my cars... Takes a good day to put it back to stock.

Happy wrenching.

 

Driving lights and brackets, gauge faces, STRPs, boot badge, antenna, arch reflectors, SS cowls, wrapped badges, parcel shelf, auto-up (that also works the driving lights), shifter/e-brake boots, Sirius, iPod adapter, bluetooth, radar detector, TSW motor mount...and last but not least my favorite chrome wheels. She's not going back with anything she didn't come of the line with!

I think that's it.

Until you said that, I totally forgot it was you that bought them!

 

^ I'll take the driving lights!

 

If you don't already have an auto-up, you should get that one Mel is selling, runs those lights too.

Are the arch reflectors those stick on kind, or smoked lens?

Mark

 

Yeah, I'll purchase the switch too.

 

The arch reflectors are the smoked ones.

Let me get the stuff off the car and get some pics taken...I'll give you guys first dibs

 

Cool!

(I am going to be in Oshkosh in a couple of weeks---is it still cold up there? )

 

Indeed! In the 20s and it was snowing when I got home from work tonight...not sure if it still is now.

 

Spring thaw has definitely started!

 

Yeah, it may hit 40 here next week!

 

Mel - Parting out sucks.

Know we're here for you in spirit...

 

Dang, I can use some thawing over here... Haven't started my cars in almost 3months.

 

Thanks. It's not going to be fun but it's all for the best in the long run.

Look, an O2B sad face:



I need to find a dealer with a February allotment they can still tweak, because so far I am unable to convince my MA to get me what I actually want while it's still in production.

 

So this is a clubman-s you're looking to get?

 

Nope, a regular Cooper. I am a Cooper girl at heart.

But you have to get a production slot before the end of Feb to get O2 Blue. I don't know if Patrick just doesn't have any left, or if they're not willing to give me one...so I'm checking around to see if anyone has an available production slot for next week that they can tweak to get me what I want.

 

O2 Blue is my wife's favorite MINI color.

 

ML- yah, i would definitely search around for the car your want...especially since you keep your cars for a long time, i think it's worth the wait/hassle.
