Looks awesome- love the mono tone look in yellow. Looks like a bad a$$ bumble bee. I agree on the exhaust, I've got the cousin system Miltek on my 05 R53 and love it. Hey, wanna sell your old front splitter?
thanks...it looks like this one wont drone like the magnaflow i have...i could be persueded to sell the splitter
You mentioned replacing "both" of the power steering lines. I'm assuming that you are talking about the ones that go up to the tank. What about the high pressure line between the pump and the rack? Unfortunately that part is more expensive ($150-180 instead of $40-50), but if you are going to do a preventative PS hose replacement, I think that the high pressure hose might be more likely to give due to time/exposure. Not being critical... just wondering what the thought process was as I recently had to replace the high pressure line on my '06 MCS due to a drip.
the easiest way of course is to drop the subframe but if you dont wanna go that far the line runs around to the driver side and is bolted in by a large banjo bolt...its a royal pain to get to the bolt but the process is just unclip the lines from the bottom of the canister and pull down...unclip the line that goes into the pump and unbolt the return line and its just a process of working the hoses out...the power steering system is a pretty straight forward process but like i said the easiest way to get at it all is to drop the subframe with is really not too painful...
okedoke...i has updates! finally got around to getting the front R56 brakes on! and got the 3 spoke wheel on with the flat black controls...gotta figure out why the controls arent turning on the cruise control... and new exhaust....Stratmosphere MkI courtesy of Elpollodiablo needs a bit of aligning but i just wanted to get the sucker on with the exhaust hangers and break it in moar updates coming!
Going through my photos i found one i took of my mini at the end of MINIs on the Dragon 10...this was taken at the entrance to the Cherohala Skyway which i decided to take the scenic route home. Wide angle shot taken with a GoPro Hero2
