PITA PLX! They know me by name. You didn't run over anybody or anything at MMMT did you? When did it start?

I don't think I ran over anything. The a/f readings were a-ok through Saturday morning when I started the car up at MMMT to go on the run to the Andretti Winery. Before I pulled out of the parking lot the reading went to 10.0 and stayed there. Since then whenever I start the car I get readings for the first 45sec or so and then it goes to 10.0. The car's running like a champ though. Loose connection?

No loose connection, probably the wine you spilled in your car.

Just got home from dinner & had a great bottle of Alexander Valley (our preference to the Napa vintage) Silver Oak. Oh, I can't get over to the shop until Friday since I don't have a ride back to the office. First thing on Friday, I'll scoot by the shop to leave the car so you can start working your magic. How's the suspension quote(s) coming? I'll be happy to order the parts & have them shipped to you, but if you get some kind of credit for the shop then let's do that.

I don't have a connection for the KW's, but the camber plates and end links are no problem.

JIMINNI Cricket! Your headlight is here. We can replace your MINI's twitchy eye so it stops getting picked on by the other MINIs on the playground.

That just sounds *totally* awesome. Someone says, "what're you up to with the car?" & you can answer "oh, nothing just part of 'Project Top Secret'." Sweeeet.

Does anybody know someone that is looking to buy a Mini? I know a guy that is trying to sell his 03 MCS. 66k miles, all stock and said it is in better condition than mine , well not sure about that . All this for around $13k. Sounds like a good deal.

Nope. It was literally Saturday morning after the car sat outside for a night. Maybe it's rebelling against not being tucked away in the garage under its blankie.

Dr.Steve, can you install the 2nd PLX remote so I can fiddle with each gauge independently?

Yeah, that way you can really screw it up. After talking and testing with PLX, I reset the parameters on the AFR and it works perfectly again.

I'm spending even more of his money. The upholstery guy was here yesterday looking at how we are going to cover the back cargo area. I'm doing mine first as a test so I'm going to rip the rest of my interior out this weekend. (I didn't go the the Bay this weekend.) We will have a lot of choices for material and patterns. It should be a good option for those without rear seats.
