YEAH BUDDY! Another R53 RMW MINI is hitting the streets. Looking good man. Hope you can make it to the Dragon this year.
Not quite RMW yet; but soon I will be. I have listed out everything I want.... so basically everything RMW offers Ha! Doesn't look like I'll make it to the Dragon this year unfortunately
Oh I know, You're a clean freak... Haven't seen it in person but through your M/A garage and it looks impeccable. How about you come and clean out my engine compartment:devil:
Like someone told me.... Patience....... And enjoy the journey :cornut: Bummer you are not making it out this year
Until I start my career I'm going to have to remain patient:cryin: Oh, well it helps knowing that people take years modifying their cars and when I do the mods I do them after people have tried and either succeeded or failed so I get the right stuff:cornut:
I'm mounting that in place of the passenger seat with a nice mounting pod for easy access to the mouth so I don't have to take my hand off the wheel/shifter. Hahahaha! I completely forgot that was in the background... also FYI only flavored tobacco is smoked out of that, never touched weed, promise.
Put my Vibratechnics engine mount and torque link on today! :cornut: I'll put up a better picture once I clean out the engine compartment and get my real camera out. Nonetheless, there is virtually no torque steer anymore, no letting off the gas during acceleration, just pure bliss and straight line take offs as well as much smoother shifting. :devil:
Nice to hear the install went well Seth. If I hadn't already had Anson replace my blown mount I'd have bought on of those VT units. Nice piece. My car hasn't had torque steer. Maybe your FUBAR mount was causing that.
Yes indeed! It was the sole cause of my massive torque steer. Did you hear me take off today after donuts? I was on and off the throttle the torque steer was that bad; and it had been doing that for months. I will say if you do replace something I would suggest the torque link; when we took it out that bushing was a mess; really noticed a difference when shifting.
I didn't hear you leave. I left 10 minutes before you & besides I left my miracle ear at home on the dresser. How is the NVH? I know you young guys can take a lot more noise than us old guys are willing to tolerate.
Haha! Well my sister is an audiologist she can hook you up with some hearing aids As for NVH; I did notice some slight vibration at stand still. But you would have to sit in it to see for yourself. It just vibrates the dash a little, but as you said us young guys tolerate more so I'm not sure if it is tolerable for everyone else.
Henrietta (Miss Misery) :: 2006 MINI R53 Had Whalen make this knob for me. He did an amazing job as usual and dealt with my sometimes impossible requests with class and professionalism that seems to be lost in today's world. I am incredibly satisfied with the product and design along with his customer service.
Bow chicka bow wow... Garage bump for sexiness!! That may not be the only bumping going on around here :devil:
