FWIW, all my numbers are assuming that one is using the proper oil and filter. It's absolutely not worth saving a few dollars to use crappy oil...

Yeah, I understand not being able to do it yourself, whether it's time, tools, whatever that keeps it from being feasible to do. I'm just...

I thought they used an extractor? Even if they are letting it drain, they can work on other stuff during that time. They aren't required to...

My argument would be that it won't take them nearly 30 minutes. Well, it shouldn't anyway. That being said, for some people it's worth the ~$50 to...

Hmm, I wonder if it was actually a safety issue or wear issue? Either way, I wonder if they will be fixing it on already-built cars? Ultimately,...

I edited my post to make it more clear

Right... I was just recapping the reasons that we've been Recaros-less in the US until now. GP: Lack of side airbags R56/R55 JCW (Pre-'12): Lack...

Gotcha, so the GP didn't get the Recaros due to lack of side airbags, and the R56 didn't get them because they lacked passenger airbag sensors.

Probably will bring a set of used TSW Springs I was going to use on my R56. I think I'm going to go straight to the B-Spec KW Coilovers, instead.

Put the last coats on my track wheels (pre-coats pic): [IMG] The paint job leaves much to be desired, but whatever, they're track wheels....

Awesome to hear that they've finally made all the performance options separate from the Premium package. Also, unlike MINI, Fords are typically...

Well, hopefully you can make it. I know what you mean, though. Every time I want to do a track day, something keep me from doing it. For instance,...

Surprise... safety issue.

What's weird is that it's certain models only. If it were simply a supply issue, you'd think it would be across the board. That makes me think...

White roof and Recaros?! Excellent choices! Good luck with the painful waiting process!

We'll see you at the race then! I'm hoping we can get a good group of MINI owners out to the race to support RSR and the MINIs in the B-Spec...

Wow, those are going to be insanely rare, then, if they're really cancelled now. I wonder what the issue is?

That's the plan, Nathan! And I just suggested to him today that he take more pictures of the build so we can document it better. There's not...

Great looking MINI! Also, the car probably still had the shipping blocks in the suspension, so the gap won't be quite that bad when you take...
