I just bought my new Mini Clubman S 10 days ago...Have orders from 3 different shops getting all of the aesthetics upgrade I want. After breaking her in and running her for a month or so, I will figure out what I want to upgrade under the bonnet...

 

catback/intake for noise, access port tune for POWER

-B

 

Globe Trekkin ?

 

miniblucabrio - Looks like project time.

 

It would be but with a broken ankle I'm taking the car into the shop to get it all put on.

 

Double post. Gotta stop posting from my phone.

 

This reminds me I need to keep a small hand held mirror in the car to reflect back on people who blind me. Almost every morning someone in my rearview decides they need to keep their high beams on.

 

Do you have rear fog lights? I've found that if someone is a little close or blazing on you, turn on the rear fogs in addition to your tail lights. Because they are red and momentarily, at least, thought to be brake lights or other warning lights they back off. Sometimes they get the message and stay back. Sometimes they don't. If it can make you seem unpredictable smart drivers make room for you or go around.

 

Yep! Rear fogs are GREAT for that!!!!

 

30% ceramic tint all around

 

If that does not work. An extra long spray from the window washer seems to back folks off.

 

I do have rear fogs but here in NJ most people drive too close on your tail to see a light mounted so low.

High beams in my rearview is usually an issue on my drive to work in the morning since it's always dark out. Everyone keeps an eye out for deer (myself included) but I always am conscious of oncoming traffic and of course the car right in front of me. Not everyone seems to be that observant, though.

 

Then just post this up high where it can be read easily...

Under the 3rd brake light would be perfect.

 

I spotlight people all the time on my way to work! I really like the people who think that since their head light burned out it gives them the excuse to drive with their brights on for a month!

From my observations around here the newer Toyota Camry's are the worst offenders for high beaming oncoming traffic... Lots of them get all 5 KC HID spotlights before they get the hint to switch to low beams!

 

HAHA!

 

The Brakes I ordered from Todd at TCE came in today….Waiting for a few more things to put it all together..

 

Gonna be a fun weekend !

If time for a flush, what kind of fluid are you going to use ?

 

Steve's Auto Clinic is going to do the install so Not sure… Any suggestions?

 

A good synthetic would compliment what you have planned. I use BG brand. And not so much for temperature control, but for the moisture factor and longevity of brake parts. I do the flush every 2 yrs.

 

Thanks, I will addd this to my list of must do's….

 

I'm looking at that same kit. Please post your opinion on them

 

Worked on the sound system today

 

Holy crap, that's a lot of bass for a Mini!

 

And I thought my eight was more than enough...

 

Mounted a trailer hitch receiver to our R59 last night:
