Not boring....relaxing! Enjoy your evening.

 

 

Replaced front hub bearing and washed it good.

 

Had some fun tested the look of my new winter wheels/tires


and installed my CF lower valence finally


then she got a bath!

 

Wow, is that really your MINI or some photo you found?

 

Well Not my daily driver, as a matter of fact I never drove it, it was bought for parts(with a trashed motor), and to be turned into a race car, but the funds got spent someplace else, and no one wanted the parts that were left.

SOOoooo it needed to leave, and the only person that would take it away wanted it for scrap, so myself and a buddy spent a couple hours with a few saws-all 's and that is what it was reduced to.

 

Installed my new rack set up.

Thule bars, footpads, and ski rack. ordered flush hardware so ski rack doesn't sit so high off the bar.

Tried black wow and pre wow. Very impressed. Can't wait to give it a few days tgen touch up. Really makes the rest of the car (PW) pop. Used. Very little product with great results.

 

I've wanted to remove my hood liner for awhile not but didn't want to give the paint a rough time during the California summers added to the engine heat . One of our local Ultima Gt owners had good luck with the gold heat reflecting foil so I am giving that a shot and see how it works out.

after :



The Ultima I stole the idea from

 

Molly got her 5.5yr. Services done today, we did an Oil Change (Redline Motor Oil & Mann Oil Filter) and an Auto Transmission Flush & Fill. Happy to have those done and out of the way for another 6mo. (Oil Change Interval), my mechanic did find a Coolant Leak so will need to get parts for that.

 

Got an oil change and put on a turbo oil line heat shield. FYI: My N18 ate a quart of my oil:-) haha

 

Got the rear bumper fixed. Also went ahead and had the headlights sanded, cleared, and polished. They look brand new. I've done this on a few cars now with headlight pitting, has worked nicely so far.

 

I like this thread...but anyway I installed my new stubby antenna and have anxiously been waiting for all my parts to arrive…
Detroit Tuned – sent me my coolant, brake fluid, supercharger oil, transmission fluid and stubby antenna got all that parts within 24 hours “ Detroit Tuned you guys rock for the fast service “
M7 – ordered new M7 2% crank pulley, 16% supercharger pulley and new belt…still waiting for my package…
Way Motor Works – Ordered new OEM Belt tensioner, magnetic supercharger screw, and in cabin charcoal filter… still waiting on package got a confirmation email that it was sent so im waiting…
So anyway my MINI is going to be happy once all this stuff gets done…hope to have it all finished by the end of the month with some help from a MINIholic. =)

 

ordered myself a new keychain......now im not one for key chains....but this seemed too fitting to pass up

 

Looks nice

 

Nice e55

 

My first badge:

 

Car looks great! Love that color!

 

Awesome color and I especially like the license plate. I wish I had that kind of vision.

EGSNHM lol

Lyf

 

NM Sway Bar, turbo muffler delete Discharge Pipe and Torque Converter. First time I've wrenched in years...absolutely loved it!

 

Put some spacers in between the front of the drivers seat bracket and the floor to raise it up a bit. They were just the right size to fit snugly around the screw, they are about 1/2 inch thick. Feels better than sitting flat. No more bench seat!!!

 

Replaced the clear front parking lights with amber bulbs.

 

Thanks man. That's my brother's E55... thing is a freaking rocket. Makes 99% of things look like they aren't even moving. He's put a lot of work into it. Its got Kleemann goodies. As you see them parked is the closest the MINI will get to riding door-to-door. Need to pull out the 996TT in order to be in the same league.
Thanks buddy!
Thanks Lyf... took a few tries and finally ended up with this vanity. NYS is a pain in the a$$ with custom plates since they don't like numbers replacing vowels.

 

sorry im slow but what does egsnhm mean? lol

 

eggs and ham???
