R56 ra2fanatic's R56S build
So I have a new sensor on order to fit into my catless downpipe. I'll be able to properly calculate AFR and read EGT so I can fine tune like a madman. And I was suppose to pick up my centers on Monday, but with the new job, I don't have any time to do that, so I gotta find some time this week to pick them up and see how they came out.
On a side note, this is what I get to stare at, at work...

I forgot to stop by and congratulate you on Whiplash! The wife and I were watching the awards and when Whiplash won for Film Editing, Sound Mixing, and Best supporting actor I told her that one of our NAM members had worked on that movie! I was pretty happy to see that
Thanks! It has been a whirlwind of excitement and anxienty leading up to the Oscars so to see all the long hours put in to pay off like that, it's such an amazing experience to be a part of an Oscar winning team.
I mean, I was working for 3 Oscar nominated editors, but now I can say I am working for 1 Oscar winning editor and 2 Oscar nominated editors right now

Should have put up a disclaimer of some kind or a warming before posting that picture.

This MCS has had so many different mods and wheels put on it that you start thinking there's now way it's the same Mini.
Hey ra2fanatic I think it might be a good idea if you were to provide all your build links in your signature, all your build are drop dead gorgeous.

And rerouted this from driver dash to inside engine since the base is magnetized.

And lastly, took off my catted dp and installed one of MarioKart's catless dp. Why? Because this broke...

I'll get it repaired by sending it back out to GT Auto Concepts and have iPE fix it up for me.
I heard a huge thunk while driving on the freeway one day, and I'm pretty sure it was the arm snapping. This is probably caused by the fact that I'm pretty low so if I do scrape, it pushes up on the dp/catback exhaust connection and enough stress finally snapped it.
More to come later I suppose!
Well. Saturday ends up being a waste. Called AiM that my LCU ONE wasn't detecting its serial number and they say I may have to send it in because the unit may be defective !!! All that wiring gone to waste! What a PITA...!!
