Plasti dipped my wheels black and mirror caps green got my tow hook in with pull to inflate sticker.

 

90% completed hybrid Alpine and Integral Audio Subwoofer setup in GP2

 

Just had the AC compressor replaced and switched from a 2% M7 CP to an ATI CP onky ran the M7 for a very short time didnt have any issues but a friend of mine did so I decided to switch and im happy with the results...119k and running better then new...but then again everything has been upgraded and replaced with oem or better parts lol :-)

 

Took all day on Saturday to change my wheels from Black to Silver (Plasti-Dip calls it Aluminum)... Looks a little more "old-school" to me, so I like it. What do you think?

Before:



After:

 

Looks good! You don't usually see people go from black to silver! Maybe you'll start the 'silver out' trend!

 

Nice! Is that straight aluminum, or did you also use the glossifier?

 

It's the plain Aluminum. I watched some videos on the glossifier and it looks really good. I might try it at a later date, but this was my first time with Plasti-Dip so I thought I'd keep it simple.

 

If and when you do the glossifier, just be sure to do a good wet coat without drips. If done correctly, you should only have to do one coat of glossifier to get the desired effect.

 

To each his/her own, OldCoot but I'm just not a fan of black wheels. A black Roadster is more than enough upkeep for me. I like your new look.

 

New Forge FMIC, intercooler muffler delete, and Mini Fini hood scoop grill install.

 

Had our newly adopted Pug pose with him today. I like that Pugsley matches the MINI pretty well.

 

Well, actually it was yesterday but I replaced the run flats with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3s. Only thing left to do today ...... DRIVE IT!

 

That's what I'm talk'n bout!!! Drive it like you stole it

 

Got to go for a short spirited ride in my baby, minus the JB+ and NM intake. Still pulls strong, but not the same. And I don't care what anyone says, hearing the turbo spool and DV do it's job outweighs whatever so called cooler air temps the stock intake may offer. Just my two sense. 3 more days til I install my DOS intake. And then next stop is Stage II Tuning 😁👍

 

+1 hearing the turbo.

For those of us in SoCal with limited options, a K&N filter in the stock airbox will also make the turbo more enjoyable.

 

I got my chromeline interior parts and rubber mats from Sewell. For some reason I'm not looking forward to installing the chrome line stuff.

 

Walnut Shell blasted in the intake valves and installed IP Coils. Knees are sore, shoulders are sore, and back is sore. Well worth it.

 

Hey!!!! I HAD sex with a waitress today in my MINI.
THIS is maybe one thing our minis are not well made for.

 

might need a clubman for exta room while doing the wild thang...

 

It just goes to show that we can do extraordinary things with our MINIs

Pics of said waitress or it's a lie.

 

I'd be interested to know if you can tell or difference in the IP coils. I know you will after the blast. I'm up on Tuesday. Coils sound interesting. Where did you get yours?

Or keep a blanket in the back and drop the rear seats.

+1 on the pics comment. Although maybe not if they're THAT kind, could get me kicked off here at work.
