Changed the oil and filter. Mobil 0W-40 this time.

 

Installed the NS1 cam on my soon to be replacement engine. Sure is easy with the engine on a stand!

I replaced my tail light bezels and gas cap with black vinyl.



Only have the belt line left...

 

Repaired my rear washer. Was so plugged up I had to take the rear wiper assembly apart to get it cleaned out. Works great now!

 

that looks great! keep it up!!! i have some white taillight bezels im going to put on my red and white mini

 

Metal MINI Wings logo badge onto the dash, small but classy in my opinion. Notice how I even mounted it so it looks like the checker pattern compresses around the top of the badge.

 

I love the way it looks there. I got the same badge and was planning to put it on the boot. Good thinkin!

 

joey mod for checkmate2006. I'm sure he'll post pics later. Made his carbon fiber hood look so much better

 

Do those mudflaps actually cut down on the amount of road spray and dirt that end up on the boot?

 

And I see you finally got that Apple logo on the boot.

 

drove her to the gym, on the way back got couple stares from a hot chick in a lexus driving by, cant complain

 

Is it difficult to pop off the tail light rings?

 

I love it when I get stares from hot chicks.....too bad they never roll down their window and ask if you can take them for a ride

 

yea its a good feeling, she looked couple times, wonder if it was me or the car, maybe both, she would be in a for a ride tho

 

haha, it definitely is. back when i had my 06 i was on the highway and a car full of hot chick's flew buy be in the left lane only to slow down to my look at my car all smiled and waved. I smiled back and took off that was before i had my windows tinted.

whenever im at a light and a cute chick is looking at my car (even more so now because of my clubman and lime green mirrors) i have it limo tinted and never know if i should roll down my windows or not....might seem kinda creepy

 

lol i know what you mean, i just got my mcs almost a month and a half ago and got my windows tinted, but its too hot 86 in january here in socal so i keep my windows down

 

Just got done putting in a WMW BOV, whoo hoo!

 

-Brought the overhaul-service for the Power Steering pump, power steering fluid, fan, Break sensor for the front, socket for the oil filter w/ OEM filter & Amsoil performance oil, Rear brake piston tool, Power steering pick up lines, Cross drilled slotted rotors w/ performance pads and ATE fluid.

Damm power steering pump

 

yes, it WOULD be creepy . . .and I love your black and lime green combo. But still creepy.

 

No way! Do it. You never know. I mean I'm 22 and sexy so it works for me

 

After my regular washing and detailing, and with the help of some great people at NAM, my husband and I rotated my tires for the first time. It may seem like nothing to most people here, but I am so proud of myself (and my husband) for giving it a try. After I was done I realized I should have taken pics of the step-by-step, but perhaps next time. I cleaned the rims thoroughly, and also refilled my windshield washer fluid container under the bonnet.

 

I removed the Continental ContiSportContact 3 SSR run flat tires and replaced them with the Yokohama S.Drive's that I used to have on my Civic. The yoko's are 215/45/17's. I have not had enough miles to make any sort of conclusions. First impression is that the Yoko's are a tad louder just rolling down the road - aka, not extreme cornering.

Put the Conti's for sale on Craigslist. They only have 1,300 miles on them. What do you think I might fetch for them?

 

Thank you, Minimike. Where did you get your white bezels from. Put 'em on and take a pic!

Gothmdoc, it isn't hard. I had a how-to video and used this spatula. It sounded HORRIBLE, as if everything holding it on was breaking but everything was fine.

 

10Zero, I like it!

 

i actually sprayed them with plasti dip .... i dont know if im going to keep them this way or get the vinyl wrap ...i love the white ... sorry that they are at night...
