I just went shopping for a spring set minus the struts. I don't want a full suspension upgrade, just an inch drop or so. Found them, and they're VERY affordable. Quite impressed with myself today!

 

I have not been feeling well, but got a Wild Hair and decided to detail (exterior) the Molly Car. I am a die hard Griot's Garage Fan and use their products exclusively on Molly. Tonight's detail included...
1) Wheel Cleaner
2) Tire Cleaner
3) Vinyl & Rubber Dressing
4) Car Wash
5) Spray on Wax

Pics. don't do Molly justice, but taken late tonight in our garage...enjoy!!

 

she looks great! Hope you get to feeling better!!

 

Thanks Giggles!! Today is Molly's Interior (more Griot's), Hubby's ride and I'm gonna' try and get Molly's OEM Wheels Cleaned and waxed...wish me luck on that one!! LOL

 

I gave mine a name, Mary Jane, I'm a huge Spider-Man fan for almost 40 years thus the Webhead handle I use for forums and XBox and she's a little mean Red Head.

I also tried using a crappy lens un-clouder product. Turtle Wax product sucked..... any ideas for a better one?

About an inch and a half. We didn't measure before and after but here are a few pics.

 

Looks good!

I gotta get some springs for mine.
I feel like I'm driving an SUV riding next to some of the club guys and gals....

That looks like a nice drop^^. I just got done installing the nm torque arm inserts! Awesome upgrade! Really controls the engine movement! Neat mod!

 

My wife and I just got back from a little "staycation". We stayed in Sausalito, and drove around Marin and Napa wine country. We saw Ray Manzarek when we had lunch at Morimoto's.



On Saturday morning we had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Murray Circle. The Ferrari Owners Group (FOG) had a little run that weekend and also had breakfast there. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Sorry for the crappy video, it was all I could do to keep my hand steady.

I got a call from the dealer today saying that they fixed the cold start rattle, and they wanted me to authorize a tear down to look at the clutch rattle 10 hours of lobar at the price of $2000.00 if they find excessive wear.. I ok'd it, I just hope I don't get stuck with a $2k repair bill.

 

i hit 92k on friday afternoon..as of last night im somewhere in the range of 923xx IIRC..FML lol

 

what springs are those?

 

Why does this thread keep re-sending it's old posts?

 

M7 Sport springs

 

Added a new grill badge from GoBadges.com. It's the new RVAMinis Motoring Club badge I designed. Looks good!

 

Never liked the mottle silver dash on my '02 MCS since I purchased it a year and a half ago, finally did something about it. Bought a roll of Carbon Fiber Vinyl and spent an entire day on my interior and I absolutely love it.
Here are a few pictures:

 

Dash looks great 36 Rodder!!

 

yes yes yes it does, will you come and do my dash?

 

Just ordered a replacement OEM thermostat, OEM thermostat housing and OEM auxiliary audio input kit. I'm really hoping to get this coolant leak under control. Very disheartening to have only had my MINI for 3 weeks to find it's leaking coolant, but I can't find any puddles or drips anywhere, and all other signs point to the thermostat.

I'm crossing my fingers it truly is the thermostat, because I've fallen in love with this car and don't want to have gotten one that is going to require lots of maintenance costs.

 

Really nice work!

 

Decided it was time for a slight change in appearance to the car so I'm sitting in Lyle's waiting room now. Pics on their way. Hope it stops raining here, what is up with the bizarre weather anyway?

 

Where did you purchase the Carbon Fiber Vinyl? It looks awsome.

 

Whacha get whacha get!!!

 

Here's one sneak peek.



I'm doing a mashup of Vinyl Styles and 504 Designs. I can't wait to see it on the car now.
