New clutch is in as well.

 

Ordered a Spec Stage 3 clutch and lightweight flywheel. They don't have it listed on the website because they haven't developed the flywheel yet. They're going to use my stock flywheel as the template.

 

Experiment with headlight tint, first I try it myself and I can do the job for 95%, but if I like it , It wil be done by a professional

Up at MOTD! Ran into the group up at Fontana We've got a fun bunch of guys over there. Letting Bitsy cool down before heading over to Robbinsville for some dinner than back to the cabin and up early for some Dragon runs in the AM.

 

Got mine all spiffed up this morning. Now I'm trying to get it packed. You'd think that with a year to plan and prepare that it wouldn't come down to the last minute. Oh well, nothing new. I packed for a year in Korea in the thirty minutes before leaving for my flight.
Mini is nice and shiny now so the bugs can see it better.

 

Got a new rear sway bar slapped on yesterday! She feels better than ever. This one- http://www.detroittuned.com/h-sport-25mm-comp-rear-sway-bar/

 

I ran the NCS Expert software on my Dark Silver Mini today, coding out all sorts of annoying bulb checks and auto-lock timers, changed how the remote works (unlock all on one button - how hard can that be, Mini?), no auto locking doors any longer. LEDs inside the boot are now flicker free, LEDs above rear license plate is flicker free, etc time to check out LEDs in the high/low beams on that car before I go all medieval on these non Xenon housings to put some proper HID projects in there.

 

Got a new windshield installed. Then I threw I strip across the top.

I took my MINI to an All British and European Car Day today. It used to be an all British car day, but they expanded it. It was still 80-percent British. Not many MINIs though -- total of 8 during the day. Lot's of MGs, Triumphs and Jaguars.

I met the owner of a rare Land Rover, and told him I was certain that I photographed his US model Defender 110 and wrote and article about it. He had no idea what I was talking about. But, when I got home, I checked the numbers, and it was his LR -- #47/500 made for the US. I sent him a PDF of the Magazine article. He was thrilled.

Thats an R53 next to my MINI, then four classic Minis, and there was another classic in the wrong part of the park, and an F56 MCS that showed up briefly.

And for how dirty she was... still looked cleaner than most cars that would have made the same trip.

 

Here's an iphone pic from work:

 

Drove the Mini for the first time since returning from MOTD. Got caught in a real toad-strangler on the way home. Hit a couple of spots where the water was over the front splitter. It was still nice after being stuck driving the Galactic Cruiser for the last couple weeks.

 

Not today, but yesterday I ordered a set of RMW coil overs from Jan. Not these exact ones, but similar.

 

Did a full detail inside and out side on the wife’s Lexus RX 350 today. It was not very hot outside but damn was it humid. Now her car looks and smells new again. Who she get it so dirty only driving it once a week is a mystery.

After I was done with her car I figured why not wash my car while everything was already out and put it back in the garage.

 

Puled my CAI and intercooler out to have one powder coated and the other polished. Hope to get them back soon.

 

Replaced the post cat O2 sensor. Took way too long too figure out the 2 electrical connector releases. Once I got that sorted, the job took 10 minutes to replace the old one with the new NTK sensor.

Upon starting the car, the CEL immediately went out. In case you're curious, it was the 0138 code, short circuit in the O2 sensor. Tried clearing it 4 times among resetting adaptives, but it wouldn't clear. At least it gone for now.

 

I nap every day. My mom got me started when I was little and I've done it ever since. Smart gal, my mom.

 

Swapped this out for a broken one, I guess it was the only one available in the whole U.S. of A. The price reflected that also....

 

Picked up my CAI from the painters (had it repowder coated) and installed it. Tomorrow I get my intercooler back from the polishers
