Glad to hear Janets back home and wanting to get back to normalcy. Actually, Nick came home on tuesday. Trying to keep him from overdoing it so he will be able to make it to AMVIV.

Just wait till u put the race bushings in!

There are the PS bushings for the front and the only other ones would be for the rear trailing arms.

Holy smokes Eddie - you weren't kidding about the PSRS! Twitchy & extremely direct (in a great way) is how I'd describe my steering now. I'll call Dave Kurata to have the alignment redone. I noticed I'm outta kilter & pulling to the right. Did you have this after your PSRS install? Not a biggie, just wonderin'.

Steve,
My MINI is leaking anti-freeze/coolant, and I can't pin point where its coming from. You replaced the thermostat already, so I'm thinking maybe its the water pump?

Is it more toward the right hand side of the MNI? Also check the lower right side of the radiator where the tank attaches.
