The exhaust sounds good, but it's hard to tell how loud it is. I could still hear the supercharger whine so it couldn't be deafening.

Its much quieter than the m7 (w/o header) at crusing and idle. Once it gets heatsoaked (from HARD driving) it does get a bit loud, but under normal driving condition it isn;t bad. I have a pesky rattle at 2800 rpm, but it isn;t bad and i should be able to hammer it out or put a small mandrel bend in to fix it...

 

So how is the weather in everyones location? Mine is in the high 40's low 50's no wind from what the trees around the office.

 

Sunny and warm (65) today so far.

 

SHEET MAN I am not ready for fall/winter temps. I wish I could have 75-90* days all year round

 

The 10 day shows high 70's next week.

 

you guys are going to make me cry because i hate the cold but then Mini loves the nice and chilly air running in and over everything

 

Rainy...

 

These were the same guy's making fun of us Californios last week .

 

I know this week i am getting slapped for that "I SORRY"

 

Ya, but its a cool 60 outside right now and I'm about to go mudding.

hi again. testing

 

I want to go to OMAHA

 

You are right Minichief driving in the rain on a track at speed does make for a different driving experience. You are forced to drive with smooth inputs to keep it on the black stuff. I recommend wet driving to anyone who wants to improve their driving skills. It makes you focus on the seat of the pants feelings everyone should already be using.
Steve and I had the same very cute driving instructor. While we may not have learned that much from her who the heck cares she was fun. Steve learned to control spins and I learned to appreciate my new suspension mods. I've added Koni Yellows to my H-Sport springs and oh what a difference.Perhaps the best mod right behind Willwood brakes.
Thanks for letting me tag along Steve.

P.S. There still is room in the all Mini event at Thunderhill on Thurs. Nov. 1 .

Why

 

A girl I have met while I was in Kansas City. She is going to school at Creighton in Omaha.

 

Glad my old English teacher isn't alive to read this.

 

Sooooo....where's everybody been? It's awfully quiet in here lately. How's life at CMS? Any cool projects you can share with us? New product(s) purchases by Mid-Cal members, etc.?

I'm guessing the left fog was destroyed again... I hope brad is OK! And what happened!?!

 

Brad is fine.

The right one is the one I always break.

Lets just say I had a run in with my neighbors Jeep.

 

And the Jeep won.

 

Ouch...

 

Next project for my MINI is the DT bypass valve. The track day finished my failing one off and now I have boost at idle. ECU doesn't like it (EML), but I sure get off the line fast.
