Damn you! I am trying to resist calling Jan... ARGGGHHHHH:razz:

Yeah, I know the feeling
I look at Sid's car and think mine is spartan and I am talking about the race car:lol:

Time to go add some more components into the race car....

I think I will put the carbon hood on tomorrow!

(must catch Sid)

RIPPER 06-19-2007 01:49 PM

Hey Jan, don't worry about that hood, get busy getting my header and exhaust ready for my install next week:wink: I'm ready to join the club:grin:

Good luck Jan!, in catching Sid that is....

Just keep me posted on that SC... I am still drooling over the thought. Remember what I said: I'll be happy to send the car your way for testing and you can keep it for a few months if necessary :grin:

Wow...I didn't think you come here anymore...:lol:

BTW, I do believe the header in my hands IS the same one at the Dragon...Gary has it right now installing an extra bung for the AF meter...I asked Jan for that in an email but he doesn't often read past the first sentence...:no:

Hint...send Jan emails with no more than one sentences...:razz::lol:

I'm waiting on a Magnaflow resonator to take the place of the cat and that piece also needs a bung for the second O2 sensor...once I have that, I'll have Gary put it all together...:)

I'm considering installing the header myself and driving out to him sans exhaust...might be kinda loud though don't you think?:eek: Maybe not...:lol:

Sid,
I read it but it usually entails you begging for parts so I mysteriously forget to answer those questions....:lol:

I took a picture of his car at the dragon. Nice looking car.

Will that have any benifit besides making it white? Can't see it anyway...

Just that it'll get ugly-dirty and parts of it will burn off after a few months. At least, that's how it always seemed on the high school hot rods. :lol:

I think if the stuff is applied according to the directions (which involves multiple coatings and heating up/cooling down in between), it lasts longer and basically acts as a rust preventative. Just kidding about the white - white was popular for headers in the '70s, but there'd be no practical reason to do that on the MINI.
