Suddenly I'm feeling the need for speed...

A pulley may not be too far off, but I will definitely need help with that!

 

Sadly, I don't think they make pulleys in pink.

But you could be the first!!

 

I'm getting mine done this week at CUSTOM MINI SHOP (plug). I can't wait.

 

Could always powder coat it. But its not like you can really see the pulleys anyway

 

JJ, Thats AWSOME! I'm impressed!

 

It keeps this from happening !!!!

 

That must've hurt.

 

I'm looking at the orange STRP for Gromit. Will you install them for me? Yes, I can do it myself, but...I better not say it, my wife might (make that WILL) hit me.

Seriously, though, good write-up and a nice addition to Malibu Stacy.

 

...not stock suspension???

 

I think the proper term is prevent.

 

So mushrooming does happen. But, is it common or rare on street-driven MINIs?

 

I am really glad you like the Pink Plates. I knew they'd look good on your car.

 

Yes, this is the way I purchased my car. Completely stock !!! The previous owner bought it in Texas. I had Brian Harris MINI bang them back down, and then I installed the M7 STB along with IE fixed camber plates. Haven't had any problems since then,

 

The strut towers in my mini look like that. And it's stock!!! Did I mention the roads in North New Jersey really bite. When I have a free afternoon, the srps and ie fixed plates are going on.

 

Not necessarily expensive. I spent $0 on the 2x4 scrap and mallet I used to fix mine.

 

Dayumm. That is an uber-shroom. You must have trashed a rim.

 

Looks great JJ! Glad to see you got all those "Dragon" fingerprints off them!! I knew I should have, umm, borrowed those purple ones.....Way may not have missed them until he worked on the MINI....LOL

 

Yep, both passenger side rims were trashed. They didn't look like it from the outside, but when the wheels were removed...........the insides were bent.

 

PURPLE ones !!!! I didn't see any purple ones there. Man, they would have looked sick under my bonnet.

 

nice one,

but I'am gonna do it myself strut bar from 1 piece of aluminium .

please can any one tell me dimensions of strut bar must be?
what size betwin closest holes used to attach?

 

Perhaps I will do installs at MOTD next year.
