Ya know, it’s cool that they allow you guys to do that but I hate that it’s always like “parade” laps. I understand they have a certain liability but it would be nice to whip around the track at more than a parade lap speed.


Great turnout...

Put a Rear Bumper Scuff Protector on.

 

That's what I thought too. I got all riled up about it. It was a good turn though and the stock car races were fun to watch.

 

Rotated my tires, and while I had them off, I cleaned the wheels on the inside and put a coat of wax on them to make them easier to keep clean. Its so easy on a Mini since you can lift both wheels off the ground at the same time.

 

Dumb question here - how? Is there a certain place to put the jack? I'm new to car tinkering and this would be a great for putting on the rear mudflaps.

 

This is how I do it.

It works great!

Also that's a great blog, Blimeys still around here somewhere I think.

 

that's perfect - thanks!

 

good idea!

 

hung out with my local mini club

 

Damn, where are ya’ll that you can wear long pants and jackets today? It’s almost 100 here... I’m sweating my butt off.

Minnesota, but it was 85 degrees out... those guys probably rode motorcycles in

 

I figured that with the guys with the jackets on but everyone else in the pic had long pants...lol.

Great weather though.... too hot here.

yep, sunny and cool weather added up to a nice event

 

Got some new wheels/tires and a hitch w/ triple bike rack... but don't have any good pics yet:

 

Molly & "SMAUG" ('10 Kia Soul Shadow Dragon SE#3), both got nice Details, we finished them today, started Friday night.

 

Getting the one-ball mod done as we speak. Hope don't sound like one of those damn Honda Rice Rockets

 

The R56 only has ONE muffler, how is the one ball even possible?

 

Getting the resonator cut out.

 

Understood, It shuldn't have a big enough impact to make your car sound like a POS RICER HONDA, but you will definitely know there is no resinator.

 

Got My resonator removed today here a a after video didn't think to make a before video sorry.

Took it on maybe it's last joy ride through rice canyon, couser canyon, and Palomar Mountain. I'll miss you MINI.

 

now if only i could get my MC to sound this way...

 

Went to Bay Bridge Motors in Oakland CA to get my Headlight Rings and Side Marker Housings color matched to body. Should be ready in 2 days.

 

Finally got his rally lights hooked up.

 

you can, either delete your resonator or go full Megan exhaust (or equivalent if it's not available for your model)
