Well I like John's gauges just wondering if they have the same series in both sizes? I'll call you tomorrow.

 

Joe and Jill, Congrats on the new car now which one will you bring to the next meeting? Oh wait when is the next meeting?

 

He never drove his Mini to meetings before, why would he start now? ..........just messin mang

 

Dr. Steve, here is a link to a thread I started. There is a link to the website I found the leds I was looking at, this thread only has 3 posts in it, so not a long read.

I think in all the time I've known Fracky this is the longest he has driven his car. So is the meeting in two weeks?

 

Yes, the meeting will be in two weeks & I'll be posting details. In regards to sporadic meetings, in months where we're having +2 weekends per month being MidCal-centric I think it's important to respect families' calenders & not take an extra evening. However, we're back on-track with our monthly meetings & I'll schedule the next meeting spot.

Note: I'll/we'll probably be driving the Audi at the next weekend since Dr.Steve has the FPD at the moment. Here's some pics for y'all. The rims are 19" forged & the brake rotor diameter is 15". Crazy!!! This car is wicked fast & handles like a race car. Absolutely phenomenal.

 

Hey gang, I/we got a phone call from Vickiey for another MidCal volunteer opportunity this coming weekend. Thanks for bringing this good, local cause to our attention!

This is for the city of Mendota & focuses on the Food Bank & water issues confronting this farming community. The Fresno Rotary is looking for volunteers this Saturday (4/11) for "Project Hope" which is from 10am-2pm at Fashion Furniture (SW corner of Blackstone & Shaw). They need help: unloading food & helping with refreshments. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. If you have any specific questions, please PM Vickiey/DIAMOND GIRL.

 

Hey John, next time you're in the neighborhood I'd like to try fitting the R56 USS again since I talked to Nardo.

Steve

 

Were all the pieces there and or did it have extra parts? I'm in Oregon and start heading back tomorrow.

John

 

Anybody with young kids or grandkids, this will be fun: PS. check it out Joe, "GO-KART RACING"

 

Are you saying Joe is just a big kid? I want a picture of Joe with the Easter Bunny.

Steve

 

Steve, keep meaning to ask you, are the bars in the door's removeable? I would like to paint mine. I know the downtubes are removeable, but what about the doors? Thanks.

 

Steve back in town. How does Monday morning work for you? I also need my oil changed.

 

Should be fine after 9:30am since I have Kurt here at 8:00am.

Steve

 

They could be removed with some work, but it may not be easy. The tabs on the "bars" run through the door panel and are melted, I think, on the inside like a rivet that's been hammered to keep them from pulling though. I'll show you next time you're by.

Steve

 

Sounds good I will see you in the morning.

 

Is this because I keep kidding you about modding your car? Go for the head+cam install bruthaman!!

 

As soon as Mynes finishes testing, i'm ready

 

Steve. Nevermind on the header. I just bought a stocker....

 

The trip back to Lemoore needs more turns installed. Dr. Steve the change was instant and very notable. When I took the onramp it felt like I had sports drive engaged the car feels very stiff and much more enjoyable to drive. The USS by M7 is well worth the money..

John

 

Very good, I'm glad you could feel it. So it's a mod I can recommend to R56 owners that can be felt.

Steve

 

I use to find that the steering on the R56 was a little sloppy compared to the R50/52/53 unless sports drive was engaged. Now it feels the same very responsive but then in the turns it is so smooth if if feels this good on mine I need to see about putting it on Suzie's next..

 

Just wanted everyone to be aware that this year, the Shriners 11th Annual Car Show is being held on May 9, at the Sierra Vista Mall. I received an entry form in the mail. Pre-registration cost is 30.00(includes t-shirt). We are in the compact class(PT cruisers, Scion, Mini Cooper, etc.). $250.00 cash drawing for all entries, Goodie Bags (first 250 entries), awards, more awards and just plain fun hanging around with the MINI family. We can take the trophy home again for the Car Club Participation. Hopefully Kurt & Marty will have some entry forms at our next club meeting. I know I will be there. Hope to see the rest of you also.

ShellyQ can you get me one or can you enter online? Sue and I would like to attend.

 

I'm not finding anywhere that you can register on line. I did google the Shriners and came up with this additional info. 559-291-4005,559 251-2962,559 347-9309 or e-mail tehranshriners@sbcglobal.net or lunarlithic@aol.com. I will try and get you a copy of this registration form within the next day or so.
