A Big Thanks

I am waiting for front endlinks and PSRS to come in. As soon as I have them, I will be ready to install

So when I get the other two parts in, I will bring him in to have the mods put on Harley. I won't get anything with the two pulleys I already bought? I would hate to have spend my money for nothing. Let me know when you have the opportunity to work on him. Have a great day!!
P.S. Clubman "Molly" won't have mods done until warranty runs out. Would hate to void warranty

I ain't sayin' nuthin. Ignorance is bliss & I'm happy with my addiction. That'd be kinda weird to remove CMS from my monthly budgeting spreadsheet.

Yes, I finally got home and brought back the pod. I haven't had a chance to check it yet because I'm trying to get the current mad modder out of here after he decided to completely replace every bushing in the car, plus 99% of the original suspension and a whole lot of rubber hoses.

What is left? Will it be you on the lift this weekend? Fun times ahead is all I can say with all your bushings replaced it should drive like a different car

Hey All, Let's get this thread back on track...
I am home again. Made it back with no issues
Let me start with saying that "I want to give a BIG Thanks" to Dr. Steve For all his help past week. I also want to thank John for all his assistance, and Chris and Jen for their gracious hospitality (even with my extended stay)
So, now for a report on what was done and how it drove home.
Hoses and tanks, Love the look and it has been over 5 years since anything was done to cooling system.
Now for those that are out of the loop I just MODDED...
Every possible Powerflex bushing
H-Sport front camber plates
TSW rear control arms ( all 4)
Koni Springs, Shocks and struts.
I love the new setup.... No more NHV than I had before. Ride is definetly firmer( but that is what was expected) on the road it rides no differnt. The response is very crisp with instantanious response and feel. No Noises other than what Steve and I discusseed, (Left front coil rubbing due to structural issues, So I Could only get -1.5 on the camber) will adjust as all settles in.
Can say HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY
Again a big thanks to everyone that helped esspecially the good "DR."

That's awesome Chef. Glad to hear your install went great & you're happy with the results. I know Cliff & Willum are big Koni fans, but any reason for your struts+springs versus a coilover setup? Also, how come you went with TSW rear control arms? Did you get some underbody pics so we can all see the new toys?

Hey MINICHEF, thanks for inspiration to where to mount my Scangauge I installed it tonight. I have a question about the background color. If I remember yours was very close to the OEM gauge color, amber. I tried to get mine close but it seems like yours was better. Can I ask what setting you are using for color? Are you using the Scangauge's amber setting, or are you using the custom color setting? Right now I am using a custom color, trying to get as close to OEM as possible, but it is a little off. Thanks for any help, Jim.

So we can mess with the Fresno PD or Sheriff dept nothing like a bunch of Mini Cooper owners hanging out in a parking lot sitting in chairs 
They look like such a "bad" group
