Thank you! I agree that this is probably the prettiest color blue I have seen (although the laser blue is great too). The decals make Zippy really stand out.

Even my rims have been hard to keep clean...I can't imagine white ones!

 

Is that hyper blue? It is a great color


Xmas goodies installed:






New badges and holders from gobadges.com



Kuda mount any my new gps (Xmas gift from the wife).

 

Great present.

 

I like that GPS mount! I've stuck my GPS to the speedometer face. It does cover up the warning lights though. Have you got a link for the mount?

you need the mount then the adapter that fits your gps.

 

Did a seafoam treatment, and opened it up on the back roads today. MAN WHAT A RUSH. I really enjoy driving this car.

 

I had a 17% pulley, Strut tower defenders, and an oil change done by Helix Motor Sports. They did an awesome job! I am really pleased with the results in power gain from the pulley. (more to come)

 

back end of the car kicked out on black ice and slammed into a curb deploying side airbags and bending the axel... oh joy! i was having so much fun too enjoying my new clutch.. well time to empty out the bank account.....

 

Sorry to hear - that had to be quite a shot. Hopefully it won't hurt the bank account too much.

 

i wasnt even going that fast 25mph around a 35mph rated turn. i got the front end back but the back just couldnt keep up and high coblestone and slate curbs do no justice at all!

the car is drivable now but the axel control arm, w/e it is deff needs to be replaced.


does anybody know what kind of cost im looking at for a side bag instal?

 

spent the last 5 hours jacking up the car, prepping & taping the car off for brake caliber painting tommorow. Im matching the lime green mirror caps

 

Gotta get some pics in that gallery.

 

got some tint put on!!! 20% looks fresh! next some viper stripes! before after

 

Yeah, I know! i actually tried last week and all my pics are too big and need to resize them.

before someone gets after me for not pulling them off, its taped up really really good. i actually spent 5 hours last night cleaning and taping them off. (they only have 270some miles so the brake dust and stuff came off really easily!)

3 coats of self etching primer
6 coats of high temperature 2 part paint
as of now 1 coat of clear but im going to do 3 or 4 more





those preval spray bottles work really good! especially for auto paint and clear coat. Last pic is taken with only one coat of clear on it

 

heres a few pics of my 06 right before i sold her Im pretty sure its hyperblue and that they only offered it on the 05-06 models?....i love my 11clubman but man do i miss the supercharger whine and CAI whoosh!

 

Got a two tickets today, one because my tint is to dark .... and two cause i have an Euro front plate ....so tomorrow ill be taking down the plate and mounting my plate where the tow hook goes.

 

VA! i got a ticket in VA for a radar detector and i WASNT speeding... do those cops have anything better to do?

 

Got new shoes for Dusty! He got Bridgestone RE760s and is quite pleased

 

After doing a lot of leg work, I've decided on the same tires once I get my summer wheels back on. They seem to cover all my needs - performance, good treadware and price. Great looking tire, too.

 

HAHA thats cause they are illegeal here lol. yeah they really have nothing better do to. I even tried talking myself out of the tint ticket and all he said was.. "See your court date there on the paper?......i'll be there"

 

haha well im from texas... am i supposed to look up the state laws of every state i drive through! the cop that pulled me over was a real A hole said something similar too hahah

 

They're working out really well, much better than the run-flats. I can definitely notice a difference in acceleration.

 

Go figure they would say something like that

 

I use my run-flats now only in the winter - this should be my last season on them... Looking at the the Bridgestone Grids to replace them. When I threw on my summer wheels for the first time with a set of Falkens, I noticed the difference rolling out of the parking lot. Only problem I've found with the Falkens is that that they turned very noisy after about 10,000 miles.

 

Well since I curbed it in our last Ice storm, I replaced my wheel bearings and wheels. Before and after.....
