Chuck, what did you do to modify it?

 

Dave, pics.

 

I'll settle for pictures of the bumper that's getting replaced.... Isn't it the one you painted just before the Dragon? What's wrong with it exactly?

 

Got an aero bumper and side skirts at Rader Collision for paint now.

 

BFG anti-gravity I bets.....

 

Kind of like a F-1 car in a tunnel.

 

This weekend I installed Euro tail lights and had R56 seat brackets modded to use R53 belt tensioners.

 

That's what the seat covers are for!

 

We need a detailed build thread, Dave.
Here is an example of a build thread.

West Coast Fieros Forum: RBS in-limbo

Okay...it's not a MINI, but a Fiero is the first car I bought with my own money after graduating from college. The thread is not about my car. My other car has collector plates and I intend/hope that my MINI eventually gets collector plate status also.

 

I ordered a new rebuilt a/c compressor for mine. It can't get here soon enough.

 

Cause you're pallets have the raw materials to build very nice things.......!

 

They must make huge globes down under....

 

Yesterday, replaced thermostat, on my R50, with M7 thermostat and replaced OEM overflow tank with a Canton.

 

Prepped the car for the trip to PIR for the races this weekend.........

2015 Portland Vintage Racing Festival | SVRA

 

Took the day off from work. Replaced both front wheel hubs with new OEM MINI brand. Old right side hub came off the spindle with no problem but the left side needed a three jaw puller.

 

Thought about driving it in to work today, then opened the garage and saw the roads were still soaked from last night's deluge.

Took the Danger Ranger instead.

 

Same story here... Minus the Ranger. Its been a while since I have driven the Rat to work. [emoji17]

 

Kia Souless ?

 

Installed new Energy Suspension 22mm Poly swaybar bushings. My rear suspension is quiet again. :wink:

Whoever on these MINI forums have the greasable bushings on, I have no idea how you got them to fit in your car. The grease valves and the height of the bushings simply did not find any room to clear.

The non-greasable bushings are also less thick so the overall height of the bushing are almost a full inch lower.
