See you in Sept.

Dixie and I are off for the summer, we are looking forward to seeing all of our new SCMC friends in September. Here is our traveling circus, Maxi to Mini and in-between.



When we get back I have many projects planned for my new favorite "money pit," my Mini.

I have a Helix FMIC + boost tubing, a Integral Audio Soundstage + Subwoofer, Misc sound deading materials, Front sway bar adjustable links, KW Variant 2 TSW spec Coilover Kit and Vorshlag Camber Plates. This should keep me busy for quite a while.



See you all soon.
p.s. I will have a set of NM lowering springs to sell after I get the coil overs installed.
Dale

Walk0080,

Yes it is, we do things big here in the States. It is a bit bigger than I wanted, but the wife loved the bedroom. It is the "old money pit."

It has been quite cool here in Oxnard, Ca but is quite nice today. Daughter and her "other half" have been enjoying(?) weather in Vegas at our house while we are away.

The Helix FMIC and Integral Audio Soundstage + Subwoofer were delivered to me here in Oxnard. (late deliveries) I was surprised at how heavy the Audio system was, I guess this Mini will never be a real racer.

Hope all is well with all of the SCMC members.

Hey there Dale. Nice to meet you at the Speedway's autox!
I have the same Vorshlag camber plates.
They are fantastic!

Hi LazerMINI,

It was great to meet an other Autox enthusiast at the event. It stoked me to get back into it, after a LONG absence. I have ordered a new helmet and I am going to order a Schroth Rallye 4 Quick Fit Harness Belt next week. I am getting the coilovers and camber plates installed along with setting the alignment with a preference toward Auto Cross, setting the height and adjust the corner weights, with my weight in sand bags in the drivers seat. I am planing on changing the tires to Hankook Ventus R-S3, but they are out of stock and won't be available until mid Oct.
