Guess thats where the lift comes in. Yea, I thought it was hard to start the first bolt but after than it went on easy.

 

All the bolts were easy except for one. I noticed it was hard coming out so I think it was cross-threaded at one time The theads had aluminum shavings on them. I didn't want to bugger it further so I was really careful about getting it back in right. Getting the header in and out was easy if you took one piece of heatshield off. It pays not to be lazy.

I wasn't being lazy I removed the heatshield. I just had a hard time getting it past the front sway bar.

 

Congrats on 1000 post.

 

MINICHEF,

Alta is checking on your pulley.

 

WOW thanks i totally missed that one. i knew i was getting close.

 

Thanks, So you might hear somthing by next week?
It would be sweet to get it done by the big party

 

Soon as I hear something, I will let you know.

 

I'm talking about the front, left underbody heatshield. There was plenty of room to get the header in and out once that was gone.

Steve

 

Oh I don't think I took that out but I might have. Either way I got it out and put the new one in and it all works.

 

 

Chris,

You coming to Casa tonight?

 

Don't think so. If you need me to I can but I wasn't planning on it. Why whats up?

 

Just our normal Friday night.

 

Oh well in that case most likely not. Spent all my money with you guys.

 

Did you pick up the car yet? How do you like it?

 

What all'd Jim get done to his ride? Also, I'm gathering petitions for CMS to keep Visa/MC #'s on-file for quick & easy order placement. Everyone think (waving hands around): one PM & you can own a new Mini part.

Example: "Dr.Steve, please order CF bonnet." <5min go by> Then you get a PM back, SRTech "Done"

How sweet would that be??

 

Not sure. I only know he got the Header forsure. I think he might have done his Crank pulley too.

 

Just the header for now. It was pretty quite on the first test drive, but it got louder when I delivered it to his house.

Steve

 

Actually, I think the wives would put a contract out on us and we'd be dead.


Steve

 

Fracky, if you bring your MINI down to us next week, we will install the convertible braces and I can check out how much wire I need to purchase to fix the "rats nest." Hey, maybe we should change your MINI's name.

Steve

 

Casa was fun last night, Thanks to everyone that showed up.

 

Don't think I want Steve to drive my car anymore, he found a whole bunch more stuff that I need . Clutch, short shifter, Cosworth..........

 

I think he should drive it more often.
