Are you sure you are using the correct size belt? Is your car a JCW? Do you have an aftermarket supercharger or crankshaft pulley? What brand...
The tensioners I have purchased (various cars) came compressed with a pin holding them compressed. Otherwise the spring has a lot of tension but...
Basically you need to compress the tensioner (with tensioner tool/bar) and put a pin (I used an allen wrench) in the retaining hole (holds the...
Congrats on the new ride. Road trip!, what a great way to get familiar with a new car.
I vote for blackout of the beltline. It is inexpensive to buy blackout tape and relatively easy to apply the tape so give it a try. If you do...
Vicki and I are in. The Melodrama is always fun and we are looking forward to going. Come on club, anyone else?
Congrats on finding a GP. You will love it. Looks like the current owner loves cars/motorcycles so I am sure it was well taken care of.
With your horsepower, I think LSD would be a benefit. Is it worth the cost, that probably depends on the cost of the LSD that you install. One...
Hi Flint, Welcome to MA. Check out our Central Coast Mini Cooper (CCMC) forum/calendar in the MA club section. I have you on our CCMC mailing...
$24K seems like a reasonable price for a GP. How many miles on the car? You should be able to negotiate a better price. I went from a modded 03...

The IE Fixed plates should work on Gen 1 cars from 04/2002 through 2006. I believe Mini changed the suspension about April 2002 and then it was...
Fixed plates will work well on an 03. All Minis can use more negative camber than stock so adding fixed or adjustable is good. The only issue...
It is interesting what is going on at NAM. A couple of weeks ago, Nathan setup a club area for me on MA. I requested the club and he had it...
Gordon, Thanks for the Flickr link. I really like the Water Mill photo.
Attached is a google map image of Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd from CA-1 (Hwy 1) to Fort Hunter Leggett. It is about 16 miles of very twisty road from...
Thanks for posting the photos. The Nacimiento-Fergusson Road was much better than I expected. It was paved all the way. The pavement was...
