Looks like a version of the forge one, but we just added Canton Racing ones and they have a matching power steering tank. Don't forget there cap also for it listed below.
1. Got two badge holders and three badges from gobadges.com along with a local Mini club badge.
2. Wrapped the boot handle in 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl.
3. Wrapped the passenger-side tail light trim with vinyl. Still working on wrapping the driver's side trim.
I like the gloss black vinyl a lot better. Previously, I had the trim plastidipped with some coats of glossifier but it still wasn't as shiny as I would have liked.
Installed the Konis in the rear. Did one wrong and now the mounting nut is jammed on the shaft after the test drive. Going to drop the strut off at the shop tomorrow and see if my mechanic can save my dumb ***. :/
Coilovers, rear sway bar, rear adjustable control arms, adjustable front sway bar links, used RED rse05s (lol, they were cheap enough I planned on getting them PC'd)
Waiting on spacers for the front, but may try and get it aligned asap

Thanks for getting back to me. The install was done just like the other and the connections are good to go. I am now thinking its the fuse/relay. Where is this fuse located though, how do I find the relay? Thanks!

Installed the new fuel pump yesterday. Checked the fuses today. Believe it or not it was the small 20 amp fuse that was blown. Went down to autozone and replaced the fuse. Fired right up. Cleared all the codes out of the computer. Took it for a test drive and thank the MINI Gods it is arose from the dead!!

I see that you've been getting frustrated, but don't give up yet!

Oh yes!!!!! I was hoping this would be something like that! Good to hear Barnaby is back and motoring!
But... Why did the fuse blow? Here is hoping with the new pump/fuse, you are good to go!
How hard was it to change out the fuel pump? Buddy of mine has his pump swapped out at the dealer and it was close to $800-900. And then talked him into also swapping the other side out with the filter/level/regulator. That came to around $1,100 for everything.

Yes, thought you checked the fuse already, glad it was just that. Good to be back on the road.

From what I am researching and learning from talking to others that had the same issue it looks like the fuel pump was going bad for a while now. The draw from the struggling fuel pump popped the fuse.
That is CRAZY! The fuel pump was honestly one of the easiest jobs I did on the MINI yet. From start to finish took me about 1hr with cleanup. The fuel filter wasnt too bad either but is a little messy thats all. I hate the dealer fees it is robbery..
I know I'm cross threading this pic, but last week i made this side decal.. its not completely straight, but looks slick and cost me $15. TODAY I got new wheels and tires put on.. some summer S-04 pole position, just for the remainder of the year before I have to buy some winter tires...

Did an exterior light bulb refresh since I had a fog light bulb, brake light bulb and back up light bulb go down. Every taillight bulb, running light bulb, side turn signal and front end bulb were replaced. The only bulbs I left were the headlight bulbs. I will wait for them to go before replacing those…
