    You're going to have to change this line in the garage description:

    "I just realized that pretty much the only things that are still "stock" are the seats and the pistons/rods/crankshaft and the stereo."

    Are you going for some extreme road mountain road runs or are you tracking wheel to wheel?

    Nice installation, looks tidy.

    NASA and SCCA time trials and hillclimbs
    And you must have a bar for VIR track days
    No wheel-to-wheel in this car

    You know I really don't like this thread! I almost bought a convertible the same color. All your doing is making me regret not getting it. :D

    I've enjoyed your blog - even have the link in my MINI favorites folder - and have shared some of your solutions with rookie posters looking for solutions. You set a pretty high benchmark for you-a-fying a MINI.

    I see an Optima Ted Top. Racing seats going in?


    Or did you loose a penny?

    Red top has been there a while.
    Yes, seats, when they get here. But something else first.
