And sc pulley. Plus two weeks prior I did the single mass flywheel swap. I'm on a roll. I honestly should have pulled the nose and swapped the Sc out yesterday.

i'm not proud to say this but i think i have you beat... a year has passed since i last saw the shine on her paint
(i live in an apartment complex + auto car washes are designed for longer vehicles).
on a happier note, i put a new antenna on my baby kart. a red light saber that stands about 4"
and changed out my carpet mats for easy to clean rubber mats.

The auto-washes around here sense the vehicle length and adjust accordingly...

Another thing to watch for is the track that the wheel rides in.
The one near me is too tall, and if I went through it would drag the bottom of the left rear strut on the track, left rear tire off the ground!
Needles to say, I hand wash the MINI.

i prefer to hand wash anyway. you have control over what happens. plus, i get a sense of accomplishment when i hand wash.

Here she is!

Does adding the scan gauge do anything to your warranty?

I experienced some "exhileration" today when Lana went past her 1,200mi mark and she got all jiggy with it.

Absolutley not. All it does is plug into the OBDII port and read reads the info from your ECU. You can also read and clear codes with it.

You also download the torque app to you android phone for 5 bucks, then get a Bluetooth reader and use your phone as a scangauge

I tried to, but Moss canceled my order because they were apparently out of stock and were not restocking them.
But I did at least get the new pair of PIAA Super Silicone wipers on this morning.
