Steve I'll see you Saturday in the morning. I'll bring some think to eat.

 

I'll be here.

Steve

 

Installing my rear seat brace.

 

Installed. I don't think that there will be any possibility of chassis flex with the rear chassis brace and the roll bar. I clamped your exhaust together and took it for a ride. It is quieter than your Borla we took off, plus no rattle in the resonator. Your MINI does look a little ricey with the one big exhaust tip. Hopefully, with two, it won't look too crazy. You can pick it up tomorrow, anytime.

Steve

 

Niiiiice! I'll call HyperPipes to get in for an appointment. That's crazy about the exhaust though! JIMINNImachine & I were laughing about it this afternoon. It's weird to say it sounds stock-ish, especially after all the custom fabrication & having a part imported from Italy. The header install should clear that up....hopefully.

 

The car's going into HyperPipes tomorrow to have the exhaust finished & fitted, tunnel diffuser & header by week-end. We're on track. Here's the exhaust looks with just the one tip.

 

Be sure to get my hangers back.

Steve

 

Joe, your diffuser tunnels arrived.

 

Hey Joe, when will I see the FPD again? Nine days and counting.

Steve

 

Yea Joe, looking at the diffusers yesterday, this is not going to be a easy job, at least to get it to look perfect. Lots of cutting and fitting involved Hey Steve I have a extra sawzall

 

A skillsaw should work nicely, also.

Steve

 

Wow!!!! Those suckers look *freakin* awesome!!! I'm super-excited to get the car back from HyperPipes & over to CMS for Dr.Steve to work his magic.

 

Steve my polish work is done. I'll see you saturday morning. Same thing for breakfast?

 

Fine, but just one, thanks. Do you need sunglasses to look at the parts now?

Steve

 

They came out alright, but not as good as I wanted. I'll try someone else next time.

 

So do I see a Saturday hang-out day at CMS happening? Steve do you have a BBQ pit there yet?

 

Is UMC getting rid of one? You'll feel like your at work if I get any more of their stuff. Anyone have a used one the want to get rid of, cheap?

Steve

 

<I'm chanting> Header, header, header, header.....

We still have plenty of time for the install Dr.Steve. Oh, ya know I had a cool thought- we could take some ramps to AMVIV with us so people can look under the car at all your handiwork. Kinda like Peter & Randy did for the R56 last year. It'd show off your suspension work, USS, etc. What do you think?

 

We? Are you French now? .........just playin mang

 

So Joe, where are the pics of your exhaust?

 

How do you turn on your Sirius receiver? The red power button doesn't seem to do anything when the ignition and radio are on.

Steve

 

4 more days left for installation & getting CMS-display car(s) ready. Do you need me to come down to work this weekend?

 

I'm sure I could find something for you to do.

Steve

 

Dam Steve, your going to have a packed shop this weekend. Where are you going to put all those bodies . Any time work for you??

Tina

 

Slight change of subject... I just posted a thread in the tire/brake section looking for folks that have tried the Cooper ZEON 2XS's. Not a bad looking tread but wondering how they stack up to the Dunlop star spec Z1's or even the GY F1 GS D3's that I have now. Way cheaper than the GY's and about $50/tire less than the Z1's.
thanks,
