Well thats about all I took pictures of so far. Sorry for all the individual posts, for some way that is the only way this computer will do pictures.

Here is a good parting shot of my wheels I took last night, I cant wait to se the 13" wilwood's behind them.

 

Welcome home brother.

That MINI is gonna be an amazing thing once you get done, if its possible to ever be done modding a MINI.

 

 

dude, that is very cool and thank you for your service.

 

Poped another O-ring on th checkvalve to the water meth last night.

Need it replaced with a sylonoid soon.

Snow today in Denver looks like I wont be doing much for a few days.

 

You go D i c k!

 

Dicks----I would like to extend my sincere thanks to your service!!!!

much oblidge sir!!

 

SIR HA I work for a living. Really your welcome everybody.

s2k7, Is that a catterham in your sig pic? My old next door neighbor had one with a blown motor sitting in their back yard for years, and when they sold the house it was left behind! I tried geting it from the people that moved in but, they didnt want me tearing up the yard draging it out of there. Evedently they junked it while I was gone, too bad because the money I could of made off of selling that would of payed for an engine rebuild!

 

Yeah---with Honda s2000 engine not the darn pinto engine.

Why did you not take the seven? It' s an opportunity. You could have been driving that car now in the race track.

 

The BMW 4cyl had a rod where it wasnt supposed to be (halfway out the side of the motor), and the new neighbor wanted to be a ***** about me taking down part of the fence and towing it through the yard. But the tow truck that came to get it evedently did way more damage than I would of, some people just dont get it.

 

I bit the bullet on MYNES new tuning software today. (More info on what it is can be found on MYNES FORUM.)

I decided to go this route so I can have it tuned locally, and have multiple maps done up. One map for 91 crap gas, and one for E85! My usual tuner Brian at TOBZ PERFORMANCE TUNING will be the one setting the codes, and he is the go to guy if you want to make power on E-GAS in Denver.

This new software also opens the door for me to start tuning on my own. So I still have a lot to learn.

 

Man love the ECT guage
Where did you hook the sensor uo and any more info/limks to the system

 

You can find the I/C temp gauge on MACH V's SUBARU site, its like $250.00 but gives you perfect readings on every channel. The little orange switch lets you choose from I/C in / I/C out / or the differance between the two (Up to 100 degrees on the differance function). The sensors I just drilled and taped into the front of my DFIC for now, and there was more than enough wire left to go to the intake manifold and the S/C outlet, which I might do in the future.

The 3 LED's are just lights for the WATER METH to let me know when the power is on and when it is actually spraying.

(UPDATES ON THE REST OF THE PROJECT)
I got the new BYTE TRONIK software from MYNES, and am going to have a local tuner here in Denver set the maps. I just need to de-cat my RMW header and add the 2 new O2 sensor bungs for both of the widebands I will be using, and it's ready to go on TOBZ PERFORMANCE's dyno. I also need anew laptop since that virus i picked up kinda junked my netbook.

 

^BYTETRONIC FTW

 

Welcome home, bro! Car is looking pretty sick. I'll be following your progress.

 

Welcome home, trooper and thank you. You are doing some amazing work on the MINI and I suspect you are a role model for future MINI owners. Keep it up. I will be watching to see what ground you are breaking.

 

UPDATE:
I still havent welded the new o2 sensor bungs on for the wideband sensors.
I CANT EVEN FIND TIME TO PEE LET ALONE GET ANY WORK DONE ON MY CAR!

However I did get a nice surprise today from the suspension ferry, my AST 5100 coilovers where droped off by the boys in brown! After all the waiting (ORDERED IN OCTOBER) the boxes where hidden nicely where the delivery drivers normally leave my stuff when I got home from work today. It was love at first sight when I pealed off the bubble wrap, those Dutch might still think wood makes fationable footware but, they sure can make a shock assembly, right down to the AST decals on the sides they are beautiful. Not a speck of welding spatter can be seen, and they are almost too pretty to go under the car.

In other news I installed MYNES FULL ACCESS software to my ECU so I can start working a tune with TOBZ as soon as I get the wideband hooked up for the data logger.

I also hung out with a few of the MINI 5280 guys Saturday after sending my old pride and joy Honda CRX to the scrapper (I needed the shop space more than I needed an engineless car sitting in the garage for another 5 years.), it kinda made my day a little better being around car people instead of remembering all that I put into that CRX.

I will have pictures up sometime tomorrow night, stupid me forgot my camera at work.

 

It's supposed to be around 50 degrees again today. Maby I can cut work early and get something done in the garage. (PROBABLY NOT)

 

I did get some work done today! But I did have my fair share of problems, I'll tell you about later, for now I will just put up those pics. (Bare with me if I need to do multiple posts again STUPID WINDOWS 7!!!)

 

 

 

 

 

Thats all for now, now I just need to figgure out why this pice of RMW's finest keeps eating o2 sensors and what I can do about it other than sell it with the secondary o2 stuck in the bung, and buy the MYNES V2 with a couple extra bungs welded in and no cat to hollow out.

 

Well I got some work done today, and it looks like I will get more done tomorrow.
Today I installed my Craven shifter, and guted the cat on my header so I can get those widebands up and running.

I did the shifter first since evertyhing was already off and out of the way, and it looks awsome, a little touch of clasic hot rod for the interior with the white **** and polished shift lever. Oh almost forgot to thank WAY for sharing the secret of how to get the linkage off the stock lever thismorning.

The shifter pics where taken when it was starting to get dark in the garage but you get the idea.
