Adding more "mods"

I have a crank pulley on order.....the inake manifold should be here next week.....I am waiting on a new exhaust that should be "killer" and after that I am going to do another custom Unichip tune.

I'm hoping to realize a "corrected" 300 WHP which as we all know will equate to an uncorrected 185 or some such thing.... in case you don't have a program...this is my attempt at humor.

Just for the record my car is running the best it ever has so I have to "****" with it until I screw it up again......that is why they/I call it a hobby.

My next big deal will be a trip to "Philly" to visit Eric for the Quaife/flywheel/clutch....that will probably have to wait until spring.

Missed you at the birthday party the other day. Sounds like you are still being yourself Mr Mod himself. Are you sure you can still call that car of yours a MINI See you at the next meet or autocross or on the street or wherever. Have a nice trip to Philly.

Yes, I have several things that pull me in diffferent directions. My Dad passed away and I was in Buffalo. My son lives in MN and I was visiting him prior to the news and I try to train for endurance events with people about 1/2 my age.....so I nap a lot

Thanks for noticing.

I need to find another girlfriend to slow me down ..... all this "fun" and staying in shape is wearing me out.

I'm heading to the MTs today to ridde my bike and then drive in a "spirited" fashion

Bob, as you know, we have somewhat similar cars, alhough you've gone beyond mine in some areas.

All these little tweaks (and some not so little) have added up to a fair amount of money. And still I think of things I'd like to do.

Have to admit I'm sorely tempted to just get the TurboKompressor from Helix for Scooter and get off the mod train for a little while.

Then I'd use Scooter for the driving events and fun runs around town (and the GA mountains) and maybe a buy a new JCW for trips, since I'm at 69k already.

Anyway, every other car I took very far ended up with a custom turbo, so why not be consistent?

The turbo thing is not going to happen for me but I would love to ride in yours when you get it. JCW for around town and trips would be nice.
