installed M7 supercharger pulley, M7 Crank pulley, new OEM belt tensioner, new belt, changed supercharger fluid, brake fluid and added M7 Strut Bar on my Space Blue Metallic 06 MCS JCW Checkmate...and in the process of trying to find an appropriate name for her...lol ;-)

 

Izzat a natural-eared Dobie?

 

Yup, hes 8 weeks old. And this is my almost 2yr old female sitting on a pitbull



Sorry, I know, wrong thread.

 

I drove my MINI 500 miles to go from Geneva, Illinois to Grinelle, Iowa and picked up a set of snow tires and wheels. She's now at 750 miles - 450 miles to go to finish the break-in period

 

How about Rook?

 

Speaking of winter tires.. I realized I need to get a set cause the tires I have on there now SUCK!!!!

 

what kind of tires do you have??

 

Got my JCW-GP about 3wks ago...
I'm getting new Yokohama's tomorrow, don't want to take a chance driving my current tires in this kind of weather...

 

Yesterday I threw on (yeah, right) an ATI Super Damper and added some vibration/sound dampening to the doors and fender liners. Woohoo!

 

I just finished replacing my xenon bulbs with Osram Cibi's, I haven't checked them out in the dark yet, will see in the am.
Only hard part was connecting the power cord.

 

If you don't mind me asking. Where did you get them and what did they cost?

 

Great! Rescue doggies rule. We've had our Husky for 2 years now. So sweet, and great friends with our Havanese old gal. 12 years old. Luna the Husky we think was about 1.5years when we saved her as she filled in weight wise. Mayby starved? Sad.. I wonder how she got lost. Oh yeah, she loves to go for a run and catch bunnies!! she's chipped and HomeAgain labled on her collar now. Got her back twice from running. She likes to run like the Blue-Meanie. ha ha! she's better in the snow than any of our Minis!

 

I got them from RetofitSource.com, regular price $200, Black Friday special $160.
I believe new BMW's are using these now.

 

Scientific name: Corvus frugilegus
Higher classification: Crow

lol I like it.

 

yay TRS! I've been working with matt since before he opened theretrofitsource

Matt is great, the forum is great.

 

Got a set of mini oem Driving lights, i refurb'd them and made them super nice. Then realized that they arn't fogs... :-( I placed them back up for sale!

also, check my forum name on hidplanet. been there for ever. Same name, HeresMyMind

I agree, rescue dogs are great. But my Dobermans weren't rescues, the pitbull was though.
I just like the natural ears better.

 

I wasnt sure if they were driving or fogs, but i found out afterwards they are pencil beam driving lights, so now i know the difference so i can state i bought driving lights (by accident) and I want Fog lights....

-B

 

Ah. Gotcha. I have the OEM driving lights on mine and love them, but I also have factory fogs. You shouldn't have any trouble getting rid of them if you decide to sell.

 

Got Pepé detailed

 

Well, I tried them out this am, much brighter than the oem Phillips.

 

what do u guys think of the akrapovic system.....is it worth the money they area asking for...also if anyone could post a solid link for the sound, that would be great!
