Well, sumbody had to do this... meaning post the May Club thing... Julie from Classic emailed today, "The Gang's All Here!"

So - a few of us in the bay area are two weeks from actually sitting in our Mini FOR REAL.

 

Oh yea were soon to be a-motor-in. Here are some picts that Julie sent me.

The aero kit and clear taillights sure make the car look different from the original factory configuration.

Also that BRG paint looks very different depending on the lighting conditions.

Side front with Aero Kit:



Side rear with Aero Kit:



Rear with Aero Kit and Clear Tail Lights:



Next is the stuff I’m going to add- wheels and other bits. It WILL be soon…..

 

Hey all of you May clubbers where are you? After today the April Club is done. I know there must be some other soon to be MINI owners with May delivery dates...

 

I'm due for delivery in about 3 weeks. I'm at sea due at the VPC on the 6th. Julie tells me about 2 weeks from there. Just chiming in.

Mine's on the water due in SC on the 10th. I'm praying for good weather at sea.

 

What’s different about this aero kit is that since I had the white taillights installed the dealer installed the required (in California) rear red reflectors. I was a little nervous about how they would look but think they look great, Classic MINI did stellar job of installing the kits.

 

Thanks, can't wait only 7 more days and I'll be motoring! :smile:

 

>>Oh man, that's awesome!
>>So, what does your mod list look like?
>>I'm going with a whalen **** first (I think) and then some wheels and tires, h-sports, tint (need tint here in Vegas), looking at a JCW upgrade, Some of that M7Venom, and maybe some painting and I like the white taillights! Man I can't wait!


I see you are planning on adding some MODS to get your "rice" look.

 

>>dunno, you said it.
>>Maybe it's the all white look, small like a grain of rice.

Post a sample pic.

Are you going to have an all white look? Or was that something else?

 

Bay area guys eh? WHATS UP! My MCS should be here the first week of June. Its in production now and should be done on the 6th. Once I get that 1250 mile break in over with, Im going to add on an Alta pulley, Alta intake, Alta Diverter/Sprayer, Magnaflow Exhaust, and the AmD one-click..... all of which are sitting on my floor right now except the one-click!

Im in Tracy but I work in the bay area 3 nights/week. Myself and a few other guys from MINI2.com planned to get together some time in June and do a run... not sure where yet, but are you in??

 

JCampos,

I would love to do a run. BTW What's the scoop on the AmD one-click?

Found this web site:

http://www.auto-amd.com/minicoopers.asp

that gives this info:

One Click
AmD Technik OneClick unit - eliminates stumble and hunting effects on the standard BMW code and provides an 8BHP increase in performance without use of a pulley - Fully reversible using the AmD Technik OneClick!

Is this an ECU type upgrade?

 

The time has finally come, the sun is out, the wait is over, what a fine day it is.

I am leaving the house now to meet with the group to pick up my MINI.

I will be motoring in just a couple of hours. Yippee
:smile:

 

I guess I'm a member of the May club, I picked up my LY/LY MCS from Julie last Saturday, May 1, my birthday! Mods are well under way already, installed my Milltek cat-back this morning; painted aero side skirts, Alta intake, and Unichip are in transit.

Julie had 13 MINI's ready to ship to California when I was there last weekend. Hope you all get yours safe and sound.
