Most liked posts in thread: What Did You Do To Your MINI While At The Dragon?

i had a birthday!
then worked on a lot of MINI's

 

- Had a Bunch of dents removed
- Got a RMW (Jan) Tune and hit 100,000 miles testing said tune

 

1) Acquired hangover
2) Nursed hangover
3) Repeat

And that was the car. Is there a thread about what we did to ourselves?

 

- Met lots of great people I'd not met before.
- Renewed friendships with people I'd not seen in a year
- Ate to much of Dave.0's wife's awesome cooking.
- Had the low speed fan resistor replaced by Chad
- Picked up an iPhone 5 mount from Craven Speed

 

1. Had a bunch of fun.
2. Learned to drive it better.
3. Got a weighted shift knob.
4. Got a great tune from RMW (Jan).

 

1. Stuffed an inflatable donut in it for the Donut run
2. Took it out at least once a day for a drive
3. Had a couple of dents removed
4. Drove it in the rain from Fontana to Cincy on Sunday (thought we were going to need an ark to get us home, so it was good that there was not more than 2 of any body style in our group)

 

Had some cool coding done by Helix and picked up a few new stickers to make me go faster. Everyone knows stickers make you go faster...

 

Added miles to the GP, the Roadster and the Paceman

 

1. Sold some spare parts
2. Bought new toys from Outmotoring with the money I made selling
3. Met Dave.O
4. Washed the car in the rain. True!!
5. Achieved 100,000 miles on the Dragon
6. Did the Donut Run
7. Drove a lot of the great roads. Definitely like the Foothills Parkway
8. Best of All: I got Walnut Blasted by Helix. Awesome!!

Things we did to our MINI at the Dragon

1. Had two dents removed.
2. Had Helix code DA MINI 2
3. Bought a turbo oil line kit from Detroit Tuned
4. Bought an oil catch can from All Angles Design, MC2
5. Drove a gravel road like we did last year with Woody, we were in the last half that got lost on the Cherahola Dinner Drive, this is setting a bad trend. :confused5:
6. Showed the DA MINI 2 the cabin he will call home next year.

 

I washed my MC on Wednesday and had a dent removed from the driver's door, by Troy. Then, I had an ecu tune done on Thursday, by Waylen.

 

Wore down tires & brake pads
Ate too much (93 Octane)
Washed Stirling x 3
Pre-Wow and Black Wow Arches
Got some Prima stuff from OutMotoring

 

I feel left out. Maybe I should have gotten an RMW tune too!

 

Drove 2200 miles R/T
More stickers
6 passes on the Dragon(3 clean)
put $220 of 93 thru the tank
was in the half that didn't get lost on the Skyway dinner drive.

 

1. Drive the wheels off the Mini :-D

2. Almost burned down the Mini (an exhaust prototype gone bad, my own darned fault! Lesson: Don't put a fairly restrictive muffler directly under your shifter box and overheat it on the Dragon! Glasspacks and resonators are fine there.)

3. Profusely thanked Chad, Eric, Lenny, and Way for helping diagnose the problem itself, finding out along the way that my Mini was running GREAT - and even better with a fresh O2 sensor...

4. I then simply HAD to purchase the DDM-Werks all-SS performance exhaust prototype from Chad (HUGE thanks Chad!!!), just to get home safe.
"Honest, Honey, I had to buy it"...
A full write-up is coming, but I can say this: HOLY COW!! Power and nirvana in the tunnels! It'll be for sale once the evaluation period is complete... soon, really soon!!!

 

I installed an Alta CAI and wore down some tires.

 

Added loads of miles to Skooby the clubster. While resting I had the good folks at Helix do a mind meld & add some neat coding stuff. Troy the master dent wizard removed some nasty dents. Thanks guys!

Edit *** Aaron & Andrea of Outmotoring stocked me up on beauty products for our MINIs.

 

Congrats on the milestone! Now on to the next 100,000, better get motoring. :ihih:

 

Mine are WMW tunes, as I'd rather keep them East Coast ones [no offense to you Left Coasters].
