Well, today I started the project of changing "The Tail On My Dragon". :lol:

Jim

 

WTF?

 

Duly noted...thanks :smilewinkgrin:

 

Been planning to do this for a long time and just now getting around to it. Right now, it ends under the antenna. When I finish it will go up the center support of the rear wing, spread out on top of the wing and then tuck over the top of the wing extension and go slightly back underneath. The the dragon will go the entire length of the car, rather then just the defined "roof" area.

Ohhh, SPA DAY! Mine gets that on her anniversary every year.

If they vacuum and remove enough crap that will make her lighter and faster so you could argue it is for speed.

???

Yeah, that.

Still confused. Going to have to look at past Dragon pics to see if I can figure that one out.

Tom got all panicky about the serpentine belt a couple of months ago so the Easter bunny brought one and we changed that out last Sunday. Also got an oil change, washed the seat covers, will do a quick clean up on the interior and exterior and the piece de resistance...upgraded her lashes to chrome. Cause she wasnt flashy enough before.

 

Lets see what did i dooo....where do i start
R53 Full Aero Kit
Body matched trim arches
repainted roof
Cowl induct scoops
changed magnaflow exhaust to Stratmosphere MK1
M7 ultimate grilles(full set)
redone embles (flat black w/carbon vinyl letters/accents)
refinished headlight lenses (w/new 8000k HIDs)
changed to 3 spoke wheel from 2 spoke
JVC Arsenal headunit

 

Ok, I didn't know if you were speaking metaphorically :lol:

 

Turned out well, I thought. One of a kind (for now anyway).

Jim

 

Jim, did you used to drive a 78 Trans Am? :smilewinkgrin:

 

Hey that BMW **** is good stuff. I tried the Amsoil stuff and it was no better after 6K miles than the OEM or Mobil1 stuff.

 

Lol- ok, I am not going to open up a what is the best oil debate. That's another thread altogether. Whatever you prefer is good. Just as long as you change it on a regular basis

 

Oil flavors are like pizzas. Everyone has their favorite. As log as the oil & filter are being changed that is all that is important. Use what ya like.

 

Yepper, 15K work fot me.

Heading for the bunker now.

Jim

 

:eek6:

 

Yeah maybe true if you are still running stock.

I only use AMSOIL and I change my oil every 3k. Oil is cheap insurance for expensive parts, so why not use one of the best you can get as cheap insurance.

 

Glad that works fot you. Now back in zee bunker..... :biggrin5:

Back on topic pizza!!! :drool

 

+1 on that, only 5k for mine

 

Nice!

Well, the MINI we plan on taking this year is following tradition and is acting up. Looks like she needs new brake pads and rotors, new spark plugs, an oil change and we have gotta figure out why the "service engine soon" light is on. Luckily our local club has a mod party next weekend. This would be the third year in a row that something happened to her RIGHT before the dragon. Hahaha. This is our S, we have taken the Cooper twice. Plan on bringing the classic next year... If it'll drive that far.
