Yes. The install of the 3% crank pulley was delayed by a slightly too large unit, otherwise it would have been installed at the same time.

I have a tool to get "these" off now so it's just a matter of taking the front off your MINI. Not very cost effective unless there is some other reason to get in there.
I still haven't done mine or Brad's because of that.

It was the TPS sensor. There was a bad connection.

Steve just finished putting the Carbon Fiber hatch handle on my MINI, and it really makes the M7-Carbon fiber Lic. Plate Backer look complete.

Sid,
Yes it looks close to yours.
Steve will post a pic later in the week. I need to wash my MINI 1st.
I still haven't done mine or Brad's because of that.
