Cool news from Wayne of the Central Mass MINIs group - He's the proud new owner of 2013 JCW GP #352.

 

100% awesomeness.

 

hey guys sorry for not posting the rest of my vids.... my comp has the BSOD

 

All Clean

 

Too bad its thunderstorming right now.... I guess that this is my car wash gor the moment =)

 

3-4 hours... clayed... waxed... polished.

 

sounds about as long as i do, and i dont even clay or polish

my aluminum wax made my chrome look real nice tho

 

How's everybody doing? I feel like I've been off the MINI grid for a bit. Went out to Loudon (NHMS) with a buddy, met a few new friends, and had a great time in heat that was unacceptable for a fat kid such as myself. I also got to see Mike and Dan on my way home, in traffic, which was a nice little surprise.

I still need to get some parts on my car... Short shift kit and need to get those pesky bolts out to get the Torque Arm Bushings slipped on.

 

welcome back nick..... that heat was completly unaceptable, running the AC in the mini was interesting =) good ol heat soak and AC running, felt like i had to launch the mini to get up the hill by my appt.....

i still need to get my 17% reduction and injectors, i just need someone to help me do that

is there a way to tell what injecotrs i have without pulling the valvecover?

 

On an R53? No idea... Anyone want to chime in here, Chris?

 

Im pretty sure once you take the intercooler off they should be right there

 

Hi Nick. Welcome home. Now quit playing and get those parts in already. Not sure if I had to or now but I used some heavy duty red loktite on the set screws for the SSK and swapped out the screws on the cover for SS with lock nuts. I didn't want any of this puppies coming loose with vibrations.

oh and i forgot to mention that we will be traveling over the border for ice cream again tomorrow night. We will leave my house at 7PM if anyone wants to follow. it's an enjoyable drive down. i thought i read something about a minis of boston meet somewhere on the 19th. we may meet at heritage and head from there if anyone is interested.

 

We were headed to Strange Brew with my brother and his girlfriend... they were in the back seat...

Ryan - Traffic is horrible evenings between Manch and the mass boarder in any direction... wouldn't be able to make it in time... maybe weekends would work better?

 

just wondering if anyone knows of houses or anything for rent? Looking for something for now until we figure out where we wish to live.

 

Probably too far, but our house in Windsor, VT, will be on the market shortly. We'd consider rental at first for the right people, however.

 

b10.... did you find a job?

 

Yes I did. I started working for Hancock Associates down in Chelmsford, MA about 3 weeks ago.

thanks for the offer Rig...

 

congrats on the job! sorry i dont know of anything down in SNH only around here on the coast, should be a bunch of stuff in nashua

 

No problem!! Yeah we are looking around Derry right now and most likely going towards Nashua or so. We will see!

 

my wife will have a place available but not for a month or two. it's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath duplex. it needs a kitchen remodel, we are putting in new floors, paint, etc...

oh, in Hudson, NH, next door to us.

 

Ryan, Mark and I are going to Lowell tonight to meet up with the MINIs of Boston folks. Heritage Farms in Lowell, MA. Leaving Ryan's (madmaxxed) at 7:00.

 

getting some icecream? i wont be able to make it

 

ice cream and minis

 

Wish I weren't working until 9. I would be there.

 

Ryan maybe we can talk about this...

I wish I could but it's my sons 1st birthday today, so having cake and ice cream with the family.
