Addendum: MINI Margi's now back home and Dragon Ready.

 

Installed and adjusted a set of WMW adjustable drop links for rear sway bar. Too wet and icy to take RDNZL for test drive.......but soon

 

Yup but will be good as new next Saturday and ready to disturb the piece.:eek6::devil:

 

Changed the oil. Man it really needed it. I used Mobil 1 because it was on sale.

 

Shes alive !

Finished rebuilding the engine as soon as the last part was delivered by the dealer and immediately mounted it. By 10 am tomorrow she will be driving out of the bay for her maiden voyage with a new and stronger heart.

 

Nice, I am picking up 4 later this month.

 

Picked it up from the dealership's service department, where the car was diagnosed with MOP (MINI Owner Paranoia).

 

Took out the silencer...used the blue silicone hoses because it was cheap...around $33 through Amazon.

 

Never again:nonod:

 

Went to Portland and back freeway going and back roads coming back. Still trying to decide whether to install DT Bypass valve. I looked at a new one at dealer, and it shows light all around the butterfly. Probably the way mine would be. The DT shows no light. But how much boost are we losing? Maybe not much. Car makes 197 WHP with RMW dyno-tune, 15%, CAI, Catback and stock injectors, cam etc. Driveability and mileage are concerns. Want to cure yo-yo that happens at certain times W/O sacrificing mileage and normal driveability.

06 R52, Koni FSD, 15% pulley, CAI, DOS copper intercooler, ATI superdamper, RMW dyno-tuned, Pulstar Spark Plugs, MSD ignition and wires, upper and lower braces, under tower plates, Engine and lower control poly bushings, 22mm rear bar, 18X8 Signature Autobahn rims, Continental DWS 215x40x18. All Amsoil lube and fluids, PS Pump fan covered and ducted.

 

I have an RMW tune and still get a bit of yoyo at part throttle around 2500-3000 rpm in second gear. I just make sure to be above about 75% throttle while in that range and all is good.

 

Checked the oil after running some errands today and heard a hissing sound; I look up and see some bubbles coming from the seam of the coolant expansion tank. I guess an aluminum reservoir is in my future?

 

Got out the Summer rims and put a nice coat of sealant on them.
