got my official dyno plot before/after tune.
-B

 

Wow that's quite the difference!

 

Got upgraded to a rear JCW aero bumper, silver lining from an accident. Now the GP2 parts are a future possibility

 

Fixed my sway bar clunking and moved it up 1 bolt hole. Too bad its raining here, I really want to try it out

 

Installed my ARK Design Superflow Exhaust & inter cooler muffler Delete.

Passes seat of the pants dyno no rasp or drone...like the tone

 

Where did you find that "Gas/Air HYBRID" thingie?

C ya,
Dutch

 

I got it from a friend of mine about 5 years ago...have had on various whips....
I thought it would be apropos to put on my Mini
Believe or not I have had some funny conversations with people who thought it was a real hybrid

 

Heh--sometimes I tell people that mine is a "gasoline-momentum-gravity" hybrid... :D

 

Swapped to the winter shoes. Good thing too - seems like it started snowing about an hour after I put them on.

 

Took a drive in freezing rain with snow coming. Ugh! A little slippery, but the MCS held tight to the road. I HATE freezing rain. I'd rather have snow! I'm not ready for this yet! Yesterday was 65 and sunny. That's Nebraska for ya. The Xenon lights are way cool. Otherwise, she's stock '05.

 

installed a JCW carbon/alcantara shift ****. Original ****'s ring hurt my palm. new shape is much more comfy. Super easy to install too!

 

wait till you wrap your paws around the JCW alcantara steering wheel!

 

I put a badge on my grille.

 

Mini went to the spa

 

Swapped to a 6 toggle switch bar, installed euro shelf, put in boot tray and net, glove box organizer shelf, pillar cup holder, and replaced OEM shift ****

 

I installed a Yakima roof rack, replaced my front badge, and replaced my antenna.

 

Got my 2014 clubman S last Tuesday and switched out the shift **** with a BMW performance ****...
(crappy) pics below... share me your thoughts!

 

Awesome, it looks clean! Did you just pull out the **** or both ****+shift boot to change it out? One time I tried to do this in my former
MCS, and the **** came out but the shift boot was still stuck. I couldn't see how you get the **** separate from the boot without it ripping or
damage so I ended up just putting the original back on.

I just pulled the **** and the boot stayed in place, no problems what so ever

 

Winter tires for me too. Had a bolt stuck in my runflat so was time to get winters anyway - good timing because supposed to snow this weekend here in NJ

 

Ugh! the defroster works TOO well. Now a cracked windshield! Only $100 deductable, but ****! I HATE freezing rain.

 

Had to balance the winter tires, had a vibration. Everything is great again

 

Ordered a Seat Delete kit and a spare R98 rim to have a full size spare since I ditched the run flats. Didn't add a TPM sensor to the spare, but it will look better than a donut when I need it.

 

I think I read somewhere that 5 sensors will mess up the system

 

I must have bad luck because when I pulled on the ****, which was quite easy, the boot (once again) was stuck to it! That black plastic ring at the top of the boot had an insane hold on the ****.

However, with a little research and much persistence, I discovered a different method to separate the **** from the boot and finally did it!! I replaced with the JCW CF ****. It feels very different from the standard ****. I'll decide in the next couple weeks if I like it or not. I kind of already miss the fat grip on the standard one, tbh. But after all that work, I need to at least try it. lol
