The beamers all done and the mini winter set up is complete. Should actually be able to get out Sometime soom. Im starting to like the winter steelie set up! may throw the ESM's on the beamer next spring.

 

Got a new a sticker!

 

What type of lowering springs to buy????..... Hmmmmmmmm....

 

HAHA Awesome.

 

Going to put them with the stock (assuming here) "sport" shocks? I think Mark bought a set of the H&R springs.

Mark - how do you like'em? (I know he hasn't been active in a while, but thought I'd give it a shot)

 

Rather be out in my MINI on a drive than sitting here at work...

 

Nm springs!

 

Amen! Think its going to be another not work work day...thank god my project is done

 

Hey guys sorry been super busy at work lately lots of extra hours with the upcoming sales days this weekend. Retail sucks.....

But yes I have the H&R and I think it was money well spent: no more heinous wheel gap, less wheel spin (at the track, ha) and it definitely helps with cornering or at least it feels that way.

Hopefully I can catch up with you guys and gals sometime soon.

 

Pictures, Mark? Had any trouble with squeaking or vibrations from them?

My cover photo is stock height.

So far no problems or noises. I have about 5k on them. Best part of the install was no need for a spring compressor I had a buddy strong arm them in place and we bolted them down.

 

Work? Hmmm. Not this week. Another week off. Mark, how is the ride with the stock struts? Did you get an alignment after too? I've read a lot about lowering springs and stock struts. I'm back and forth on it.

 

I did get an alignment just to be safe. The stock struts will not last as long with the lower springs with the uneven wear vs. stock. It's a lot more stiff but I like the feel definitely feel more connected to the road a more solid ride.

 

Any ideas for a gtg? Probably next week with thanksgiving and all? I'm up for just about anything.

 

Somewhere cheap cheap...I'm not coming up with any ideas. The rest of you have at it.

 

Nashua Garden.

 

Okay option one

Are people interested in doing that marshmallow rally with MoB?

 

I think we should attend as a group.

 

That's what I'm thinking as well.

 

We are doing the Marshmallow

 

If we do the Garden on a Friday , it would be better for me at least

 

Does anyone know a Justa Countryman owner? My work needs to test fit wheels on it.

Edit: nevermind. Found a customer with one.

 

The Garden sounds good to me.

Also - Christina and I went to the River Road Tavern to try to erase the Bugaboo memories, and it was pretty much completely awesome. We sat at the bar (not a ton of seating in the place), watched and BSed with the cooks while they were making food for us. The food options are a bit limited, but EVERYTHING we ordered was great. I'd go there again any day.

I mean come on, you can order bacon as an appetizer (and we definitely did). That's right, a basket of bacon.

 

And I will be signing up for the Marshmallow Run today sometime.

 

Big dog weighs in at 133 lbs. Now I can have a solid answer.
