That thing is sick!

 

Day of rest for mine nice day for the Triglide.But that Bear MTN meet looks good if I didn't make plans already I would check it out Nice area for motorcycles to

 

I took the family for a "drive" yesterday. I honestly can't remember the last time I did that. At least three years ago.

 

This past week I tinted the windows and removed the bonnet stripes, then added racing stripes. Topped off with a "skull" badge on the grill.

Today, I washed up and detailed the Mini. Nice and clean!

 

Very nice GeekGuy!! L@VE the Plate!!

 

Installed seat covers on the front seats. We'll see if they help bring some breathability to the Grace Jones seating!

 

IE fixed plate install and painted the wheels this week.





sittin pretty at 0* toe an -1.8* camber both sides up front.

very noticeable and awesome increase in grip .

 

Washed it for the first time. My water pump is broken so I hooked up a hose to my utility room faucet

 

How did you black out your gas cap and door handles?

 

I forgot to post this yesterday but my husband installed checkered mirror caps and rear view mirror caps.

Before install:



After install:

 

JB welded the cup holder again...if one more person gets in my car and says, "what's this?" and grabs the cup holder!!! Oh and determined that my driver's side tie-rod is bad.

 

installed my boost gauge today.

 

I took my R56 "Doc" to a weekend get away to The Tail of the Dragon MOTD he got some good runs, several goodies and a Full Tune by Jan @ RMW... WOW that a diffrence Thanks Jan from RMW for an awesome Tune!!!!

 

Congrats!

 

Finally got the windows tinted. 20% all around.

 

Thursday 4/28/11 - Seafoam treatment
Saturday 4/30/11 - Took it in for it's first scheduled maintenance @ 17K miles
- Tire rotation + alignment at Firestone auto center

 

everything black on the car(that didnt come that way) is plastidip. head light rings, scoop, grill surround, scuttles, boot handle, gas cap, belt line, and door handles. all has held up really well except for door handles, and the belt line. gonna redo the belt line with the tape kit, and just re spray the door handles.

oh wheels and exhaust tips are paint.

 

How did you go about doing that? I used gloss black spray paint on my exterior trim, wondering if that's a decent way to paint rims.

 

index cards FTW i used rustoleums high performance wheel paint flat black

 

index cards, very impressive!

 

Installed the XM radio/Blitzsafe interface system.

This is an awesome package which installed in the right rear compartment and allows for my continued use of the c/d changer in the rear. Anyone in doubt should consider this mod option. It was a very simple install...

 

Got stuck in traffic on the way to work. After 25 minutes I got to see why:

A light blue/white mini was upside down, perpendicular to the roadway. It didn't look like it was in that bad of shape for being upside down.

Of course I'd like to know what happened (merged into? run off the road?) and if the driver is alright. If anyone knows, please share.

Highway 85 Northbound just before El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, CA around 11am

 

Ordered a full set of Koni Sport Adjustable shocks. NAM has a sale I just couldn't pass up!

 

do you take them off or tape it off? because i tried taking off the grill surround and if was a FAIL. i broke of one of the clips.

btw, genius on the index cards. gonna have to steal that. did you sand your rims off first?

 

Installed some bass blockers on my front speakers, coupled with a Basslink the factory non-HiFi actually sounds pretty darn good.
