Got the MINI badge cookie cutter to Zach. Now he can make us some MINI donuts next time we go down to visit.

 

Nice Jim...
Now tell me what pads you are going with....
There seems to be a very small selection to choose from...

 

Yes because of the weights on the pads. I went with the EBC Red Stuff. I've had the Red Stuff on my original JCW brakes and never had a problem.

 

Nice!!... and with the old JCW logo to match the car. I wish my seats had the old logo

 

Yep, got the decals off eBay. You have Recaro's then I guess with the new logo. I have the Sparco's with correct logo.

 

Washed the Countryman, next up the MCS, perhaps after my nap!

 

Yep, still working on fitting the R53 belt tensioners properly. All plugs were disassembled and rewired so no cut wires. The R56 Recaros were available with both logos at one time, but now the early logo version has been discontinued.

 

Save it... I will take it off your hands if its going to the trash man! [emoji6]

 

If you want it you better be able to pick it up somehow.

 

Noticed MINI Meet West 2015 starts tonight.

Got on a local forum to see if anybody was interested in driving out there tomorrow night to have a look.

 

I'm going to MINI MEET EAST tomorrow in St. Michael's Md.

 

Curious, how are you doing the mount on the extinquisher? Is it a solid bracket mount or custom by you?

 

Recently finished up the install of a PRW crank pulley, all new gaskets on the timing chain cover, new OEM idler pulley, Gates belt tensioner, and a JCW CAI.

Could not for the life of me get the Gates K060535 belt on. Pretty sure I've got a 15% pulley. I had two holes showing on the tensioner.

 

I see Honda swap! That makes me happy... [emoji39]

 

ordered a pair of rear swaybar bushings. Getting the greasable ones.
Will these fit? or do I need to get the ones without the grease nipples?

 

I put those with nipples on my swap bar last year. Now I realize I need a grease gun with very flexible head to actually use these nipples.

 

Had a small problem with my Forge overflow tank. Sent to in to be chromed and it split. They found a real thin spot in the seam that split. time to order a new one.

Wasn't aware the Justa had a timing chain issue.... Nice that she got a new one...

 

I wasn't aware either & Anson told me he has replaced a few. He figures it is from running the car low on oil. Check your oil folks! Jeff show them how a dipstick works.

Nice MINI.

 

Thanks Chuck, I appreciate the offer...
I too keep a few extras on the shelf at the shop....
I grabbed the one and it was for the MB..... I need to pay closer attention to my stock...
