Love the badge.

 

Installed my Dinan Stage 1 suspension kit and DIY'd wheel alignment on a whim. I finished past midnight.

And now I'm falling asleep at work.

 

When did you purchase it? They no longer have them listed on their site, so I'm guessing you had it stored for a while?

 

I ordered this:

Vids when it's installed!

 

Drove him to work, for the first time. Squealed the tires, for the first time.

Drove him to lunch, for the first time. Soon I'll be driving him home from work, for the first time.

 

OMG STF - "Fenimore" is the most clever name I've seen yet. Bravo!

 

I like your style Slave to Felines


Today, I drove to the nearest WaWa during break and got myself and a coworker some chocolate banana smoothies

 

De-badge it, I like the plain and even look and it's a factory option anyway.

 

I bought them from a NAM'er. I paid a little more than I'd liked to for them, but I realized that they'd been discontinued. They are worth every penny.

I paid less than if I'd gone with off the shelf Koni Yellows and SWIFT springs ... Which is what I was originally saving for. The Dinan springs don't lower the car much at all. Maybe 10mm or so, like the JCW pack springs. I will probably save for the SWIFTs once they hit the market.

 

 

I'm not getting it?

 

Definitely going to get some before/after videos and sound clips. I had trouble finding any for anything other than the VIP exhaust, so hopefully it'll be useful to other people in the market.

It should be here today and I'll probably install it tomorrow night.

A friend wants me to get a big plastic mohawk hair-piece on the roof of the car. ("Mohawk" being another name for the tribe also known as "Mohicans".)

 

Awesome

 

Timster121, are you a member of C3M (central Maryland mini motorists)? If not, check us out at www.meetup.com! We do some fun runs!

 

This is the first I've heard of it. BUT I'm a member now

 

Had a day off from work yesterday. Took Brown Betty to Washington Crossing State Park (in both PA and NJ) we stayed on the Jersey side. (she always gets gas in NJ) We walked in Titusville and Betty was waiting for us to get back. She then took us home. and told my wife that she enjoys the roads.

 

Started my planning for a liquid to air intercooler configuration. Water is 784 times more dense than air (or so I read) and so takes much longer to heat up so an ice-chest or reservoir n radiator config is able to handle long or heavy n intermittent boost temp spikes much more efficiently than an air-to-air. The packaging is also much easier, the "log" flow-through intercooler will fit right where the existing unit is located and the radiator fits in front of the factory A/C unit. I already have the fans and temp sensor mounted and wired so I need to plumb in the parts n fittings then add a circulator pump relay, which I already pre-wired for in the event that I would be adding "something" (at the time I was thinking driving lamps).
And Dr Frankenstein continues ......... (thats pronounced Frahnk-en-steeeen !!!!!!)

 

Just wish we lived closer to allow us to attend all c3m events.

 

YAY!

 

Me too!! We gotta do a "mini" Mini run soon!

 

I used to love to go to Washington's Crossing (Jersey side) and then walk across the bridge to the little ice-cream parlor on the Pennsy side back in the late '80s and early '90s, before I moved out to Hell's Forge, AZ. Is that ice-cream parlor still there? I bet PA 32 is a lot of fun in a MINI....

C ya,

I lived in PA for 14 yrs and just about any road in PA that doesnt have I76 somewhere in its name, is worth attacking w/ a MINI. Crap, I used to go tearing around with my Cobalt with 17"s, and I wont even tell you about the I322 ramp off the Barry coming back in, in my road course racing prep'd Camaro. Now, those were good times. The Camaro's passenger door handle had finger-grip dents in it. Oooorahhh

 

Drove her to our PDX MINI Club Meeting!!
