Now I got the garage makeover fever!!! I got a quote from racedeck and it was $1396 plus edging...I dont even know if that included shipping?? So I checked around other sites. I found www.bigfloors.com they sold other flooring systems besides racedeck. I went with a brand called GarageDeck, looks exactly the same as racedeck. any way, I got the entire floor, edging for $788 shipped.

My garage to do list:
Install new receptical and lights
insulate and drywall one of the walls
paint
install floor
enjoy my new garage


My ezcar lift will be here tomorrow. yesterday I got a whole bunch of car audio stuff.....so, I'm ready for warmer weather so I can get out in the garage!!!!

 

That's funny, because when my speedo in any of my cars reads those numbers, I feel the same way!

 

Just got my socket and filter - ready for my first ERL change tomorrow.

Thats a rockin garage! Now you gave me the feaver! My wife is gonna be so pissed at you.

 

Purchased a sunroof wind deflector from Outmotoring a few months ago, and just put it on today. Next up are some rally driving lights.

 

Can you take a picture of the wind deflector. I would love to see an R56 with it so I can make my decision...

Oh, had my JCW factory exhaust installed. $400 is not a bad price...

 

Just had my '09 JCW at the dealer today; changed spark plugs and brake fluid under warranty.
Props to MINI of Madison (WI) service department.

 

Watched BOTH versions of " The Italian Job"

 

blacked out my beltline finally.... hopefully its sunny again tomorrow so it takes away some of the airbubbles... .... a little harder than i thought... but not to bad...




next is paint my headlight rings and grill surround... and get my sport stripes put on...

 

Got my WMW Perf BOV in the mail, talked to Clint at DoS and then ordered the DoS CAI with noise baffle. I am now done modding for awhile as my next mods will be $1000+, ie: Exhaust and Suspension.

Oh yeah, ordered black door handle covers from AC a couple days ago.

Mike, are you doing the front bezels (grill and headlight) white?

 

Damn man i should just order the wmw BOV.... i think im going to do the grill black and the headlights white... im not completely sure yet.... i think the white grill surrounding would look weird... but the headlights may too so i dont know i hope they match the tailights well

 

Don't forget the NM Eng. Engine Torque Arm Insert... G/F and I have been talking about your front end. Unless you somehow get the grill white, black grill bezel will look odd. We're not sure about black grill/bezel and white headlight bezels. Two ideas... Chili red headlight bezels, OR secure a Justa grill and go all white. THAT would look very unique and I have read about it being done on NAM. You would of course have to go white scuttle too. Just some thoughts, my friend. Are you coming to The Dragon?

 

oh i wont forget the torque arm... just dont have jack or jack stands... and i was thinking about just doing the grill black.... the chili red lights might look pretty cool... ill have to take a hard look at my front end.... to be honest with you... i dont even really know what the dragon is besides awesome roads???

 

http://www.minisonthedragon.com/ for The Dragon. I went to my first MINI event in Helen Georgia (HelenBlitz) last month and did a spirited 17 MINI 90 mile run through the mountains and that gave me the bug! By the time April is over I will have (custom) Dragon decals below my scuttles! Go look around the MINI side (under Menu) of the Vinyl Styles website (http://www.vinylstyles.com/index2.php#/home/) to 1) see my ride, and 2) maybe get some ideas. Lyle has some good pics. By the by, where do you live?

 

awesome ill check it out! im in longisland ny right now for school but i live in texas...

 

Ahhhhh! Two places I don't see myself going to. BTW, the beltline looks good.

 

haha ya not to of my favorite places either haha... thanks! i love it... i think im going to start playing the lotto to win some money to put toward my mini! haha i saw some more pictures of your whip... looking really nice!

 

And after the BOV and the CAI, I'm bout busted.. Thanks. One of these days I'll figure out how to REMOVE pics from my gallery here on NAM. I'm out. Have a good night, my friend.

 

Take a look in my gallery, posted in my modifications album.
How do you like the JCW exhaust?

 

Took the mini out for a few hours through the windy back roads of Mammoth Cave National Park.

 

I went to buy a license plate frame from the auto parts store. While I was there, I snickered as a BMW owner was test-fitting a stick on hood scoop. I then chuckled as I said 'my car has a functional hood scoop'.

Then I came home and painted the frame. I hope to get it finished tomorrow since it's 'photography day'.

 

Yesterday I washed my MINI and ordered H-Sport 19 mm rear bar and NM torque arm insert from Way.

 

Husband skillfully modified checkered flag rear view mirror cover to fit over universal garage remote buttons on my Clubbie, which now matches the wing mirror caps! The black and white pattern looks awesome next to Horizon Blue and the black with white pin stripes on her bonnet.

Then I let him take her out for a spin...aren't I nice?

2010 Horizon Blue Clubman/Sport Package/ comfort pkg/ black leather seats/DTC/and much more!

Next addition: checkered scuttles!

 

Brought It Into Mini Of Hawaii To Get The Battery Replaced, Get The JCW Front Bumper Lip Spoilers Replaced And Get The Brakes Looked At. I Also Ordered A Set Of Enkei RZ-5s In 18's to Get More Ground Clearence

 

Put a set of new spark plugs & wires in.

Took a test motor to Outmotoring & bought some powerflex control arm bushings, a serpentine belt & some yellow fog light bulbs.
