Shark Injector:
- Easy install for one person, one mirror and one battery charger.
- An opportunity for improvement (OFI) is a modification to the instructions. It phase or not; I did and was correct as the last step is to disconnect the battery charger. Another example for the need to read all steps in an instruction manual before starting.
- The value proposition for the Shark Injector is its marketability; a value for the dollar. To feel the improved torque and pull through the 3K to 4K rpm range with a rich A/F mixture to assure engine durability is price justified.
- Questions: Anyone with the Shark Injector experience new issues other than the earlier reported, "disabled mode to get home? Any observable changes in mpg? (FYI: Although not accurate and absolute, I use the computer mpg value for relative comparison. It's not the value to me as much as it is changes, + or -)
MINI Hibernation:
- This is the painful part of my post. Reminds me when I had to sell my Harley; like losing a family member. NAM is now my fall back to keep the MINI excitement, I'll be driving thru your winter experiences. Just like the 4-month wait again for my MCS to arrive from Oxford. (The use in MI of magnesium chloride for winter ice, snow,... has made my mine up to store the MCS. MC is now a new risk for all due to its aggressive corrosive properties, stay tuned for more in upcoming years)
- Built another 3-car garage to story the MCS, actually justification (excuse) for upgrading the workshop with heat and its size. Fun Fact: We're able to my MCS and a friend's MCS sideways in one stall. Talk about an upfront engineering vision for consumer hibernation, WOW! It's now a 4-car garage. Would a realtor listing buy that?
- Question: Can someone share the routine and helpful hints for storing the MCS?
