Once again, the Hawaii MINI Hui comes through! Bgrpph and Minihune were looking for hubrings for their Centerline rims as they could not get word from their vendor. MINI-t's bf got the guys the hookup for the hubrings at Eurosport! Bgrpph should have the rings in by Wednesday so he might be able to use his new rims and tires for the Aloha 500!

 

MINIkahuna,

Thanks for your efforts with another another great MINI event. Glad to see a really good turn out.
Sorry I missed the excitement and even the Harley incident!!!

Might be thursday-depends how fast those auto part delivery birds fly from the west coast. I think they are giant seagulls or something.

 

Thanks bf and MiniT for the help. Thanks to minikahuna for the goodies & all Hawaii Mini Hui folks for the advice & friendship.
I do feel that I should have come home with another MCS with a pull of BAR BAR BAR on the slot though.
Took my Centerline RPM rims in to Eurosport, they tried various sizes but no fit so ordered centering hubs in size Centerline manufacturer told me that eurosport thought was correct. Then received call from Matt at eurosport after Minihuni took his RPM rims in and they changed size ordered. We anxiously await their arrival and hopefully a perfect fit. With luck i'll take Fri off and get some miles on my S0 3 with a few trips Ewa, Kaneohe in preparation for Aloha 500.
another biggie is JCW kit thats due in a week or so. I've commited with MINI of Hawaii and ready when kit arrives. It's only money yah !! Wife says again this morning "you're really spending $6000 to make you car faster". Hey its only money!! and she only wants nice diamond earings in exchange for the JCW kit- not bad !! Can't wait to see the wednesday installed kit in action at the Aloha 500.

i'd take 1c diamond earrings over the JCW!!!!!!

 

Is that a 1ct ring or earrings? Still, that's not so bad. My gf wants a 3ct engagement ring.

3ct engagement ring? woah. that's a little too large for my taste. in my opinion, 2ct is perfect!

2 karat? Hey that would be nice for me!
Wait gotta get that MINI Dinan upgrade.
Nix the diamonds. Get the Dinan!

Whoa- Dinan vs JCW kit- some shootout for the next Spring Fling 2004. Plan ahead!
Better go out and practice tonight, it's only midnight- nice and cool for a few more HP!

 

This takes on a whole new direction of diamond buying!

The 4 C's of diamond buying.

C- Cut

C- Color

C- Clarity

CW- Cooper Works get a Smaller Carat Weight

Aloha,
MINIkahuna

 

Minihune- have a great trip, see you in Aug. Sorry you'll miss Sat event.

I decided to pass on JCW kit (just to much $ for what you get), no earings (well maybe earings). I may get the Alta pulley from Randy and have sonic install it then wait for Randy's next ECU upgrade that can be downloaded directly.

Yeah, $6000 is a bit much for bragging rights and about $1100 buys a pulley and ECU installed.
Well I would like to do the alta pulley and have it installed at Sonic also. We will need the pulley tool- where to pick it up- MiniMania? I was going to ask Alta for a source. Thinking of buying a bunch of Pulleys from Alta to get a better rate on the shipping.

How about we all get our own ears pierced and wear diamond earrings like pirates.
The Pirates of MINIlani. Sounds like a softball team.
