    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.

    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!!!
