Washed and detailed him then took photos of new wheels and tires. NM Engineering 17x7.5 with BFG Comp IIs.

 

It's not really "to" but "for" Alfie. I made a quilt (and boot insert to make a flat floor) to cover the rear so when we take the pups with us the MINI will stay as hair-free as possible. Worked well for a minute until our dogs pulled down the sides and front so they could be more comfortable in the back. The extension out the back works well though!

 

I joined in on AZ Mini Owners club Holiday Lights drive. Lot's of fun.

 

Mounted my vanity plates & HE>i decal

 

Wish I lived in Hawaii today snow snow snow and freezing rain here in Canada...the mini does not take to a foot of snow too well lol

 

I finished installing my Ziza interior LED lightbulb master kit. I'm truly impressed how bright they are by themselves.

I also installed the LED license plate bulbs, but one of the LEDs is shorting out no matter what I do to switch it around. I'm hoping ECS will send me a replacement bulb for the defective one.

Got a Chance to Wash, Clay Bar, Polishing Cut, and Wax the MINI today, its been a while and it really needed it.

I also got the Gauge Pod Working:



I still have to setup the Water/Meth Kit, its totally installed. But not configured yet. I had the Bung welded in the other day so the AFR is working now. You can see the Intercooler Gauge working also, its wild under boost the air going into the intercooler is as high as 220ºF the split seems to be about 40ºF at 50+MPH.

This Photo shows the Wiring coming into the engine bay, I used an existing grommet/hole building a waterproof plug from the grommet:



This photo is of the exit side of the intercooler horn as it heads into the intake, you can see the temperature sensor and the Water/Meth Jet (marked by the blue arrows):



This photo shows the in and out temp sensors (marked by blue arrows):



Here is the Hot side temp sensor, if I had it to do over, I would of put it a little farther back. I can tell you that I am NOT going to do it again as I took the in / out horns, and the intake out of the car to install all this and it was a total *****!

 

Wow talk about fun I drove my 2007 White top Metallic Blue bottomed Mini and had a great time . waved at other Mini drivers as well.
what fun this is to drive a Mini.
I had a Porshe Speedster before ,However,this is bithchen to cruise , drive and just plain have fun in.

 

By the way ,this was Jack from Sunny Phoenix sending in that comment before

 

I hooked up my PLX Bluetooth OBDII sending unit along with Torque app on my Galaxy S III phone. It works great! Only regret is that I can't any oil sensors to read with the app.

By the way, the PLX adapter is on sale regular $99.99, right now $59.99.

Finished installing my AEM CAI courtesy of lowsid3r

 

Looks good Dave. I hope to have mine installed before the end of the year. Any problems regarding installation?

I just installed a new Garmin 2497 on my Mini using the Cravenspeed mount. The fit is good, it looks good, and I like the voice activation features.

 

Nope the fitting on the y was a little sticky I just carefully slit the rubber and pulled it off.
Today I installed new headlights

 

Ordered a trunk mat and all the power steering feed and return lines and other assorted pieces like the cap o-ring which most people forget.

 

Installed a Craven Speed oil dipstick. Merry Xmas!

I do love the Pepper White. So nice.

Working on installing a Blackvue Dash Cam and ordering a remote hidden Radar Detector as something to do. Got a Cravenspeed Tow Hook I need to add to the car. 2013 S Coupe.

Always cool to see what people can do to Mini's. Options seem endless! Enjoy the TOYS!

 

Well considering my Clubman S was totaled i guess i can't really post on here, or can i? Well it just so happens that because my clubman s only had 18k miles on it (had 9k when i bought it, its a 2010) and was in incredible shape (clay bared every year and dusted off every morning and night and no scratches) i got a check from my insurance for its value, santa must have put me on the nice list because i somehow made a profit from my car getting totaled! And it just so happens that a 2012 Clubman S Hampton Edition (factory one not the package one) was for sale within the price range of my check. Long story short, I'm the proud owner of a new 2012 Clubman S Hampton Edition MINI!

 

Same here, love mine! Great gift.

 

Congrats! Only car I made a profit on was a 2001 Isuzu Vehicross... Only reason was it was a rare car to start with (15000 world wide) it was a year that was never supposed to be made, it was one of the rarest colors for that year (Bright Yellow) had low miles plus a brand new engine (original had the crankshaft failure problem) and there wasn't a scratch on it!
Bought for 14,800, traded for 16,100 on a '05 loaded Justa Cooper.

 

Great news!! Merry Christmas to *you*....

I did that with guitars stolen from my car once, since I had receipts for the improvements made to them and one's replacement value had gone up a fair amount due to the manufacturer being much prouder of their guitars that year....
