>>Around 11:20, I was in my garage and saw a Black Mini pass my house had heard an exhaust. So I'm thinking it was erik808 passing my house?!? If it was damn I really need to buy the Helix exhaust!!

===>Hi, Miniphyter808 . Yes, that was me. I've seen your killer CR/B many times as I went up and down your street as my parents live above where you park/live (their house is past the intersection at the very top of the hill). Yup, I've ridden my then-BMX bike up & down & up & down your/our street for years. Amazing that I never got smacked by a car . Anyway, if you wanna hear the exhaust or anything, just PM/e-mail (erik_tanaka@hotmail.com) me anytime. I ordered it from Randy Webb (Webb Motorsports) for $550 plus about a hundred for shipping. Per minihune's excellent referral, had it installed @:

*B & B Auto Service Center in Waipio Gentry (676-2334)

Took it there several times (for other mods as well) at around 9:00 a.m., went to Zippy's with my notebook to eat & do work, got a call after a few hours from their super nice receptionist, paid $79 plus tax (for the exhaust exclusively), & I was off!!

Good luck, Miniphyter808!! erik

===>Hey, Miniphyter808! Oh, I highly doubt that you've seen me ride my BMX as a kid as I'm probably a decade older than you. Yup, you're right --> speed is an issue on _______ St. Would this Saturday at around 1:30 in the afternoon be good for me to swing by for you to hear it? Just say when you can... Ready for our street's amazing fireworks come Wednesday night?! It'll be insane, as always!

hey, erik...check out his side blinker thingies......miniphyter got the black ones from CTD. Let me know if you think they would look great on a CB/CB. I'm thinking of ordering, but can't imagine what they would look like in person.

this i old news, ie. pre x-mas...but i saw a red/white or red/red mc on the way home on the h-1 right before kokohead exit. unfortunately, it was pulled over by a cop. hopefully, it wasn't anybody over here or anybody we know. must've been late for a x-mas party or trying to beat the shopping center rush.

Erik - This sat I go back to work. Anytime this week would be good though. But I started living here back in '82 and I was about 5. So been here for awhile. OH I'm always ready for New Years Eve. I don't know our street is like the craziest, midnight you can't even see 5 inches from your face. I look up/down the street nothing just smoke.

keikilee - the smoke side markers look great on our MC. Being our side grilles are black, the markers fits right in. Like it was made for the MC side grille!! Hopefully erik can take good pics for you to see.

ahhh the infamous "you powder coated your rims" question!! Yeah I need to change my brake pads. But yeah with the weather we're having and me being on vacation, I'm being lazy and haven't washed my car. some time before I go work..

Cool we're the same age, so what school you grad from? Of course I'm a PCHS '95 grad.

I'm standing up in front of my computer.

Sadly we have only six digits or letters to work with for vanity plates in Hawaii.
Is that because Hawaii is spelled with 6 characters?
I didn't want to misspell Minihune so I passed on the plates.
Maybe I'll do DRMINI

This morning I saw a IB/B MCS with black bonnet stripes out by Lagoon drive.
That black roof and stripes makes it so much more aggressive. :evil:

>>Who ever you are....drive slowely so that us gals can enjoy the view!

Keikilee,
You'll just have to speed up to catch a glimpse I guess. That Cooper is on "auto pilot".

I got spotted by a nice IB/W MCS with sunroof and white stripes on the H2 near costco as I was getting on the freeway. They waved at me, I caught up later and waved back. Our license plates were only a few digits different. I think that was the MCS I almost bought back in Feb 03. :smile:

Tonight going into town to have dinner I spotted two MCs on the road one PS/B and the other BGB/B both on the H1 freeway. Then later a parked PS/B MC with roof rack parked at the condos next to the Kahala Mandarin Hotel.

Yesterday I spotted a CR/W MC on the freeway headed into town. Quite a few spottings in so short a time.
MINIs are taking over!!!

>>Has anyone spotted a CR/B MCS with black/white bonnet stripes and dark tint??? Seen the mini in Manoa and in downtown 2 days in a row....one of the nicests minis out there, I must say.

Hey miniphyter808....do you have bonnet stripes? Maybe this was you, and it was an MC that I saw? Saw your pic on the yahoo group and that's pretty close to what I saw in downtown one day.

Well when you originally posted that I don't think I was around downtown that week or before. Manoa maybe because I had to pick up my neice from St. Francis couple times in November.

Drooped off tools at bgrpph's house this afternoon and what do I see as I'm returning home? A classic Mini, blue/white w/ white bonnet stripes. It looked like there was a full load of people in the car, either 3 or four people.
