I live in Michigan

 

So blake, is the MINI parked until March ?, or do you still have a few good days of fun before winter hits? Are'nt you getting a "JAN" tune in Detroit?

 

Well, right now, My entire intake manifold and horns are on my workbench for polishing... I won;t be driving it till December when I go for the tune, but thats it.... No more fun drives this year.

 

Just got home from the Los Angeles Auto Show. MINI had three Clubmans. I can put the pics in the Album if it's ok with Joe.

Ok Brad, it was my turn to take a hit in the front bumper. I might need a bumper cover and A/C evaporator.

 

No copying Brad; it gets too expensive. Brad's MINI has been hogging Fracky's parking spot in the shop for too long already.

It can take an hour to clear the connection after you quit NAM.

Depending on how fast you want to be repaired, we could steal Brad's new A/C condenser before it's installed. I already sold some other parts off his car since it's been sitting here.

Joe is a kind guy, he will share the stall. Brad should be able to keep his car there because he doesn't have an FFR.

I'm not in a hurry to fix my car. I have two other vehicles to use but they aren't my favorite. I can drive the car but don't want to as the conenser is pushed in a few inches against the radiator.

 

Kevin,
What happened
give some details please. So sorry that "chicken little" got hurt

 

Yep, for sure bruthaman - you're next up. Then I have dibs. My SES & brake pad light are both on. Plus, we've gotta stick to the master plan. Oh, I think I'm going to get another windshield. Minichef PM'd me this link: http://1346843.estore.networksolutio...ail.bok?no=128. Have any of you heard (or read) about this film? Given my recent propensity for breaking windshields, I'd like this next one to be the last.

 

I'm doing a lexan windshield. Save almost 15 lbs and it wont crack a easily...

 

Where do you pick up a lexan windshield & do they have units for the rain-sensor cars?

 

Lol.. nothing that fancy... Its just molded to fit in the OEM window frames.

Oh, Both horns and my intake manifold are out of the car. As soon as I'm done filing the ridges down, its off to the powdercoater... And Steve, I managed to get it off without loosening the SC....

 

They are not street legal in Cal, sorry.

 

Is that as clear as glass? I wouldn't think so but...?

 

How did you manage it?

Steve

 

A lot of pulling and forcing... How do I get that vaccum line out of the way of the IM?

 

IC Horns and IM were just dropped off at the powdercoater. I will get em' back next week!

 

If it go's the way mine did it'll be 2 weeks. It seems something always breaks down.
1nf3rno did you ask them about BLACK CHROME?
By the way I seen Oakhurst, Ca on your location and assumed you stayed in both places, sorry.

 

I'm only in CA during Xmas and summer.. I like black chrome, but not for my car... I got a high gloss red which looks great. And I finished filing all the ugly ridges and bumps down. It looks great.

Oh, I also just ordered a defi blue racer boost gauge. The autometer connector was frayed, so I figured it was time for a replacement...

 

Sorry to hear your car got damaged.
Must have been the LA drivers.

Did you post the pics?
I have not checked yet.

 

Robert,

Are you in New York?

 

10 NGK 2 step colder plugs are on the way for $71!

 

Hope everyone has a nice Turkey Day.

We now have the Touch Up Paint Pens in stock.
