I sense a car going BOOM in the near future...

 

Installed the JCW carbon fiber door pulls the other day.




And added a VEI Systems high resolution digital boost gauge using the existing Craven Speed Flexpod system. The aluminum arm hanging down from the mount point on the W bracket (under the Scangauge) is not the most elegant solution looks wise but it works quite nicely.

 

I drove back to CT to visit family for the weekend and remembered how much fun a drive the Merrit Parkway (CT rt 15) is.

@onefish2 nice installs, i think i drove through your neck of the woods. was cruising along 287/87 N and saw signs for Nanuet

 

Installed Bilstein struts and NM springs.....me likey!

 

I replaced my Radiator Fan Assembly. Now I have a low speed fan again!

 

Had my windshield replaced today. You can read more abut it here. Lots of pics too.

I have had my "new" car for a few days and.....WOW SO much fun! i can't believe the difference in the ride and overall enjoyment.

I've also seen 5 or 6 other MINI's and waved a ton...2 justa's ignored, 1 S, 1 convertable S and i think there was anothe rin there...nada. a bit disappointing...no one waved back....surprised the dealer didn't mention the culture of MINI I think that would help if they did. I know JEEP does to its owners.

again, drove a good 100km today to visit some family and what a blast! even in traffic with the right tunes the car is fun...that or i'm so proud and happy with it!!!

WOOOOO!

 

Put back in the stock headlights and re-leveled them. Just the other day I did some plasti dip'n fun too!

 

Thorough hand wash followed by a Meguiars Instant Detail. Then I washed the windows, poorly. I used Windex and it left smears, possibly from over spray for the instant detail. I need to find something better for washing the windows. Does anyone have a suggestion?

 

Prima Clarity or Adam's Glass Cleaner. Get yourself a nice microfiber glass towel as well.

 

I modded the antenna and got a Lo Custom Antenna 7" for only $10, good price, made a difference in his appearance.

 

Try Prima Clarity and the Glass Cleaning Cloth...works wonders!!

 

Just ordered Prima Clarity and their microfiber glass cloth.

Thanks for the advice.

 

Drove from Ft Collins, CO to Mt Home, ID as the final leg of a 3 day journey from Alabama to Idaho. :D

 

You are Very Welcome!!

 

And your MINI's still SMILIN'!!

 

My next car is gonna be "bug" colored. With my luck nature will create a new color bug.

 

Today I rotated the tires. The wheels fit nice and tight. I had to beat them off the hubs with a rubber mallet to break the bond between the wheel & hub.

 

I was smilin too! Did I mention I finished my breakin during that trip so I got to floor it for the first time? I was a little worried I'd be disappointed after having a z28 for the last 7 years but I'm not disappointed at all!

 

Had my tires rotated, wheels re-balanced, and pressure checked. I love my car!

 

That's Great!! Welcome to the World of MINI...NO Disappointments here!!

 

Ordered recaro seats, rollbar yesterday..... Then I'm done, nothing left.

PS. Oppps, almost forgot. I'm waiting for a short shifter to arrive. But THAT'S it.

PSS. And get the rear seats to match.... nothing else.

 

That's what I use too. I really like it better than anything I have used in the past for glass.

 

Wow!! Look at those miles!! And I thought my 300 miles to the Dragon was a big deal.

I've been wondering if there was any other Mini's on here from North Alabama. Looks like there is...er...was now that you are in Idaho!
