Installed the rear and sides of the JCW Aero Kit (I haven't purchased the front). Now I'm waiting for the Challenge Diffuser that I picked up in the Marketplace to come in to finish the install. I have a brand new GP2 Diffuser Kit that I was going to install but I think I like the Challenge one better. The GP2 Diffuser will probably end up in the Marketplace.





All done sans the diffuser - now I have to wait.

 

Very nice. What do you think your going to ask for the GP2 Diffuser?

 

Well... I can buy it from a vendor for ~$300 shipped. So I'm thinking $250. If I do end up selling it I'd love it sell it local - but I can't be choosy.

 

Had my wife drive me and the Mini to the dealers for a free 2 year service check. Had them replace my brake fluid with the blue stuff and got a free oil filter cause I brought my own oil. Third oil change in 8k. I have done all my own mods. Only issue was the interior mirror **** stripped out. Replaced mirror. Had the SA pull my stock shift **** off so I could install my Craven Speed one.
Now back to the garage for another week until I get the cast off my right foot,ankle and leg. If it was my left maybe I could have shifted. No pivot.
T-boned by a postal truck while on a Burgman 650 scooter with only 300 mile on it.
I have driven the Mini sense June.

It's getting to be great top down motoring here in north west Florida.

Brought Mini #2 home!

 

Installed a BMS short throw clutch atop(only took 30 seconds) and my Way shipment came in! Can't wait to put my sway bar, dp, and BOV on! Woot woot! Motor on!

 

Vacuumed the way-back after hauling around tool boxes all week. Wiped down the seats with Weiman's leather conditioner.

 

still debating wether or not to keep my new wheels ><

First track day at LRP going to see RUSH put on by Skip Barber. Great way to cap off the day.

 

Went pick-up a brand new set of 17" R112 at my dealer to enjoy freshly mounted sweet sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer tires . . . a little late for the season but that's alright, I'm addicted to these rubber shoes

. . . then I'll have a set of run-flat for sale with only 1365 miles on them as I'll be getting a new set of winter tires instead.

 

mocked up the new wheels, they are starting to grow on me for 16's

K, so it was a few days ago, but it's been a busy week....

New vinyl goodies....



That's ABY NOR MAL #1. The nice lady at stuckonminis.com made it custom for me, then got enough people asking for it when she posted it on FB for me to see that it's now available on her site....

Some lady hit me the other day and won't return me or my insurance adjusters phone calls....I have her address if all else fails though

 

Installed aem CAI on my 12 coupe :-) yesterday

 

Installed my JCW shift **** from Rotherd31 (thanks!! :D) excuse the camera phone pic.


And hit 44,444 miles today!

 

Looks good. How hard was it to get the old shift **** off? I've heard horror stories!

 

Initially I thought it was going to be really tough because I could pull the shift **** off the gear lever, but couldn't actually separate it from the boot for like 10 minutes! I felt that I couldn't get any good grip to separate the **** from the boot without tearing the leather, but finally I just grabbed the ring that separates the shift **** and boot, and pulled the shift **** out. After that it was a piece of cake putting the new one back in, and boy does it feel so much better! Thankfully no horror story here

 

Oh okay. That doesn't sound too bad :-) I already have the c/f alcantara e-brake (not installed yet) and I plan on getting the shift **** fairly soon.
