Niiiice. I PM'd Dr.Steve to let him know our iDrive Torquemaster garage door system took a dive & our garage door's frozen shut. I'm wanting my MINI back, but maybe it's time for some other fun bits while I'm "locked out". Dr.Steve, I forgot to add my catch can to the install list. I'm blowing what seems to be a lot of oil through the I/C, so that might be a good one.. Thanks for all your hard work!

I think you are looking at the number that Mike wrote down and not the graph? The number he wrote is wrong I believe.

Hey guy's and gal's started a thread about this, but wanted to post here also.


Hi everybody, Does anyone want to join me and Janet with our Minis at our Church this Saturday night for "Trunk or Treat"? It's a great event for the kids, and the adults that like to dress up their cars . It would be very cool to get a few Minis all together We could all park together. Please let us know

Thanks

Jim

I have a Sears Craftsman leaf blower, hardly used. What are you guys willing to give me for it? Who knew I owned the latest hot mod, and I thought it was just for the patio! I wonder what a shop vac could do? Oh and I have one of those too in case it becomes the next latest mod.

I have an electric blower I could donate for the project, put an inverter under the bonnet and go at it.

Hey all hope everyone is doing well! I wanted to give the Biggest THANKS to Steve, John, and Tom for the surprise they gave to me last Saturday. They are the best people that anyone could every wish to have in their lives. For all of you who don't know already, Tom talked me into leaving my car overnight at CMS and taking me to work the next morning! When I came back from work I found that they had installed my very first true MOD ! They installed an AFE Air Intake System! I guess the guys just got tired of me him-hawing around and decided to take action! I LOVE IT! The way it sounds is awesome and the way it helps the car to just go is even better! I am still in so much shock that it took me till today to come up for air ! I could not have asked for better friends!
