Yes ... I know them from multiple Vegas trips & made purchases from them.

This weekend I did a clutch and LSD install (parts not ordered from Custom Mini Shop...)
I had question and SR Tech took my Saturday call and knew what he was talking about I got the info I needed.

KUDOS ... a real team player

Install complete and all is good

Thanks again
Your welcome! I always treat people like I would like to be treated so it's easy to help.

I have to empty mine every 5K. It's 95% water, 5% oil. I think it depends on the humidity when you shut you car off. A lot of moisture condenses in the engine. I should put a bucket under the tail pipe when I start up in the morning in Oakhurst.

Have you watched the other movies I let you borrow? Constantine's pretty sweet. Which movie does Sir Bradley have?

Well, I'm just giving Dr.Steve a hard time. I'm up at 5:50am & always check NAM right away too. I had you beat yesterday dude, I sat in my office chair from 7:30am-8:55pm.

Constantine was pretty bizarre, but I liked it. I wished it was longer so they could have developed the characters a little more.

As soon as I start Firefox anywhere between 5 and 10 sites come up automatically so you can never tell if I am actively viewing NAM or not. I need longer days so I can get more done. I was working on a problem with my e-mail server being blocked by SBC/ATT for no reason last night so I was up early to check to see if they had unblocked me after they apologized last night. They said it takes 24-36 hours, but I hoped it would be sooner. Two of my clients are on SBC systems and I can't send them e-mail from my domain. I'm still blocked as of now, but it's only been 9 hours.

Come on big guy you can do Hooked On Driving later. If you do this one and Reno you will have done three track days. That should put you in the intermediate group.

When is the Got Guts event? Any of you Mid-cal peeps ever do the NASA events? They are cheap, excellent instructon and you can hang out with the MINI racecars and watch races in between your track time. Next up for me is 4/12, 4/13 at Infineon. Bob Scheer, Jerry Bradbury and think Peterson also will be there racing in the USTCC.
The Reno event sounds good as I have been wanting to tryout RFR.

RFR is an outstanding track...really long and take's quite a while to "learn" it. The front straight leading into the esses...is at least for me.
Got Guts is 4/21 and is sponsored by the Sac Miata owners group...never been wth them, but looks to be fun..!
I hope to come out and cheer Jerry on in USTCC...he is a great instructor BTW..!!

I'm a SCCA guy but the price looks about right. Being a weekend HPDE the May 3-4 Thunderhill thing would work out for some of the people that work and can't get away during the week. How many NASA events have you be to?

Well my car is running great. So after AMVIV I think I'll stick it in the shop (CMW) and add some more things. I'm having a contest with FRACKY to see who's car is in the shop the longest. Take it easy on me I just got started dealing with CMW.

Them's dangerous words Checkers! The Frackmobile's middle name is "shop display". In the past three years I've averaged 4105 miles/year & most of that is AMVIV & Laughlin. Other than that it's sitting somewhere getting worked "over". Now it's actually getting worked "on" by the good doctor.

I did about 6 last year at Infineon and Thunder hill and went to 1 this year at Thunderhill. Next up is Infineon April 12, 13. Would like to get to Laguna Seca and Reno Fernly this year also.
