VERY nice! If you don't mind me asking, what does that run to have done?

 

Thanks guys! I'm loving it too! I'm in Babylon on Long Island, and it ran just over $200 after taxes.


The only thing now is that my driver/passenger windows are darker than my sunroof.... guess I have to get that a little darker now too -_-

 

I didn't do this today BUT, I did do it the past few weeks I've had off of work!
-I ordered clear tail lights and made them completely red (matched the third brake light)
-Aero Grille (color matched)
-Bunch of stuff under hood!

Looks great! The dog wants to see wha'chu got under the hood.

 

She drove me home, on the twisty, hilly backroads that is my usual commute, with a bunch of spirited drivers in their "regular" small coupes (Honda, Mitsubishi, toyota, ford, etc) . We had fun, I just looked better doing it

 

I installed my Alta CAI that came in yesterday... took it for a drive, sounded beautiful, amazing throttle response. Tested the 0-60 and quarter mile. Averaged for the 0-60 5.6 seconds. Quarter mile was about 13.6.

Then..... I let my girlfriend drive my MINI (6-speed) around the neighborhood and then to our local Target. Her first time out of the neighborhood and on the real road. She did great though, didn't stall once. What can I say... I guess I'm just a great teacher.

.......................I was on the edge of my seat at one point, peeing-my-pants nervous when she got stopped on a hill with a car behind her. Again, she did an awesome job though.

 

got my new shift ****... took some bad lighting pictures but fits great and love the texture!!!

 

i got my magnaflow exhaust and tips today. hopefully ill have them on by tomorrow

 

Installed MINI Chrome Line interior pack, and a few aftermarket chrome bits during my lunchbreak :-)

 

where did you get the ****? I want something shaped like that

 

Installed a madness CAI and cowl mod today mod cherry is broken on the mini

 

Parked her safely in my garage, and took husbands truck to the beach for 4 days....yay ....and waaah . Miss her, but have spotted several MINI's here, including a gold one. Never seen that color. VERY sharp!

 

I got it from this website http://www.productinnovationsonline....ift_Knobs.html. I got the m12 x 1.25 thread to fit my short shift. Works great love the feel and seems to be made real well I got the delrin but they also have metal ones I believe...

 

I so want some pipes, but I'm afraid I'll get something that sounds too "Rice rocket".

 

wow those look like some quality ***** and at a great price point. i have a stock shifter with the helix short shift adaptor, so to make it work, (and i have almost done this already) pull my shifter out and chop a good portion off the top, and weld back on a bolt or a piece of all-thread with the right thread pattern.


i think i might actually do this now.

that 5.5" one would be badass, and i can set the overall height where ever i want.

BUT does anybody know what type of metal the stock shifter is made of??????

 

Well how do you like that - we ain't so far apart, NavyNUKE. If you ever have a need to go to a local muscle car gathering - we have one here in Riverhead down at the river front every Thursday evening. Maybe we could meet up and have a MINI presence - they waved me in to park with the crew once when I had another MINI with me.

 

Got PDR done on a 19 month old door ding.

Now, hopefully I can get my rally stripes made and put on in time for MITM....

C ya,
Dutch

 

Went and paid a visit to the body shop where he's resided for two+ weeks now. Damned if it isn't still sittin' there unfinished. Dead battery and all... S**T! Hopefully those parts got ordered today or Monday isn't gonna look too good for anybody.

 

Just ordered the MINI Cooper S Hood Heatshield from Way Motors for my 2011 Clubman that is still in transit.

 

Drove downtown today and had a cabbie cut me off in the front. Had to slam on the brakes to avoid and I see in my rear view mirror the damn delivery van that was tailgating me for blocks made a sudden left turn and almost hit me in the rear. The van moron ended up swerving into the wrong lane and decided to just keep driving a while in the opposite traffic lane to make his turn. So basically almost lost the right front fender by a cab and left rear fender by a damn van.

Gotta love driving in Toronto.


On a positive note, I put a deposit down for a 2012 JCW this week. Those JCW brakes will come in handy I guess.

 

GigglesMcMini: The BGRII w/ white roof is an awesome colour combo!

 

Installed BSH Oil Catch Can. Not many more mods left to do....hmm. whats next?

 

A full detail, in anticipation of tomorrow's multi-club show-n-shine.
