Yep the rattle is gone. The car is nice and quiet now, but the handling got sloppier, relatively speaking. Noticeable difference, though. Steve is going to try to CNC a little of that bar so I can put it back. Will wait and see.

Just don't go getting a sun burn on both your legs. While one leg gets you 5 HP, everyone knows that adding mods does not add up to adding HP. So two burnt legs might only get you 7.5 HP. On the other hand, a decent farmers tan will help you pull an additional .2 G's in a turn.

Yes Hollis. You dont have much to be afraid about though, because you aint driving. It's the competition I would be worrying about.

I cant WAIT!

Hey, I am just looking forward to going head to head with other Minis. The Chevy pickups in rush hour on 101 are just getting old.

Yogurt is good idea.

Dave, fyi, make it clear here so noone gets upset when they win it, the War Club is a travelling trophy. i.e. they need to give it up to the next winner at next autocross. (or keep it, if they retain their title)

The excitement is palpable!

Since auto-Xers are all about wheels, tires, and more wheels & tires, I'll ask ya'll... Any Cooper owners have some 5-Stars they'd trade straight up for my V-Spokes? Nothin' at all wrong with my wheels, I just like the way the 5-Stars look.

I'll even autograph them!
