I always see the F1 guys leave it attached as they remove their helmets, so I can't see why it'd be a problem other than you have to remember it's...

Is it just me or does anyone else like the idea of a budget cap [for vehicle development]? It's completely relevant to the auto industry, where...

Nope, no problem forthcoming. All I can say is "welcome to MINI-dom". Chalk it up to yet another quirk that makes the car odd and endearing.

+1 to everything you said Squirlz. Bernie and Max can eat a big one. I hope F1 lives on in a different form without them and becomes a hotbed...

Last major update...cuz it's done! ;D This is what 5 pounds of wire looks like! [img] Using a microfiber in the vice, I bent the lap belt...

Very interesting! I hope that is true, because I really want to maintain the use of the front airbags until I buy myself a Safety Solutions...

The whole project has resulted in a weight loss. I've been real careful to weigh all things that have come out and gone into the car. The only...

--->Vernon; definitely go score yourself a set of Swift springs; they bring the BC's from "meh" to a good quality setup. Here's more updates! In...

I can't have any car I'm driving be too relaxing, otherwise I risk falling asleep at the wheel. :sleep: This means no Lexus-esque silence, no...

oh yes...and the battery box painted. The battery cables have been tidied up too. I still have to glue down a square of felt to go between the...

Thanks! I removed the rear wiper in MM2urbo, so I know it's not that big of a deal to not have it. It's worth the 3 pounds. :devil: The...

Update! Tearing apart the wiring harness: This is the driver side looking toward the firewall [img] More wiring harness, this time the rear...

Words of wisdom, thank you very much for the comments DixonL2! This is exactly why I didn't go for a full cage; because I still drive my R53 on...

From what I've seen, after someone has an accident and gets lucky walking away, they want a roll bar or cage in their next car. It's better not...

Thanks Nitro :cool: Nathan; the main reason I went with the Autopower is because it allows me to keep using the rear seats to hold my race tires...
