Very sharp, Arn !!

So, putting a 22mm rear sway bar on it ??

 

Thank you! I look forward to sharing with everyone.

Thank you! The 22mm seems to be the common rec around here. It'll have to wait a while so fortunately I won't miss what I don't know. I love the way it drives right now, though. Way better than a '94 Wrangler.

 

Only slightly

I feel like I have to relearn how to drive whenever I drive my wife's Jeep Liberty. And we've had it 5-years, I have put in some solid seat time in that vehicle.

 

SuperGreg,

I am just curious what kind of qualifications does MINI look for in MAs? That would be a cool job indeed. Hope you get job man.

"Not so sure I need a short shifter... I'm very satisfied with the throw on the standard stick in the JCW."



An added benefit from a SSK that I discovered is that before I put a SSK, the gear shifter would tend to hit a drink in the cup holder or my passenger's left knee lol. Sometimes, it would be my hand hitting it. But after installing the SSK, I noticed this doesn't happen anymore.

I loved the Wrangler (especially in the snow) but it's like night and day between those vehicles. Going through roundabouts every day really drives home that difference. They are way more fun now.

 

Hey SG you get the DRL in? How hard? I am thinking about getting them. I just got my MCS Aug 10th with 11 miles on it. Post pics of the DRLs.

Have some stuff on order so have to see what happens to my budget.

 

Yup they are in

Getting impatient for my POPS and BURBLES.

Other than the one morning at around 300 miles... nothing. And I'm at 650 miles now.

 

I think it was the 600-750mi mark that Lana started her popping and burbling. You'll get there soon enough. Mine is pretty quiet though. I cannot hear it unless I am in 1st or 2nd, or maybe 3rd with the windows down. I've never heard it in 4th or higher, so either it doesn't happen up there, or there is too much road noise for me to hear it.

I told myself yesterday I was going to go to work with Sport mode off because I didn't need it. Then a Juke pulled up next to me at a light, so I had to turn on sport mode, get in front of him, and pop all the way through the next 4 red lights.

 

Come back after 1,200 miles when you can rev it up and activate the "popper" functionality. It's kinda like popping your JCW's cherry :P

 

I broke 3k this week and it pops and burbles all the time, sometimes even loud enough at easily hear over music with the windows open going 50 haha.

 

You my friend have popped her cherry

 

That happened around the 2nd-3rd week haha.

 

hahaha to the cherry poppin'.

Yeah, that loaner "S" I had last year popped and burbled like crazy. Could even hear it on the interstate with the radio and the windows up. I WANT !!

 

Patience :P

 

Did you just call me an *** ?

 

Lol no

 

Those DRLs look awesome.

I already heard some pops and burble before I hit 100 miles. Is that an indication that I've driven it too hard already? I haven't went over 4500 RPM or 100 MPH. It's an addicting noise.

 

Thank you! I'm really happy with them.

Maybe your shifter is bigger than CR's and you popped yours quicker

Enjoy your car, MOTOR ON!

 

You're trying to talk me into a smaller shifter because you said mine is too big, remember ??

 

No, yours is just too long :P

 

Are the thread police watching ?

 

I'm just so happy that this thread is working. No more boredom.

Thanks to everyone who has joined us!!
