Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

Having seemingly nothing better to do today I visited my MINI.

Thanks for the rides Teddy.

 

Cool! How is it? I'm heading up there later this month.

 

Still DEAD :mtrn:

 

Yeah, heard that was a common issue. But my brake light seems to be sealed properly. Somehow it's leaking underneath the trim where the hatch's latch is.. :mad2:

 

My first impression also. Very cool effect.

 

You're very welcome. I really enjoyed the company...AND, I have brakes.

 

Heard on the radio this morning that Chevron inadvertently put 87 octane regular gas in their premium gas pumps. So all you MINI drivers in British Columbia who use Chevron premium should notice a distinct lack of power, and bad fuel mileage in your cars this week. On the other hand, that usually happens whenever Chevron changes their gasoline formulation from Summer to Winter or Winter to Summer. I don't think the 94 octane Premium Supreme was affected.

Good thing I filled with Shell premium (no ethanol) gas this week.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Hah! Happy anniversary to you, too!

Sutter Creek in Amador County? Very cool! Beautiful area!

 

vetsvette, that movie is also one of my all time favorites!

Today I put new front rotors on my classic Mini, the old ones weren't particularly worn, but they had large pits in them from sitting out in the rain (my guess)

Changing them isn't particularly hard, it took about 20 minutes a side. I also had to raise the front end up a bit, the left front tire was rubbing the edge of the wheel well on certain turns. I set the right side first, then when I went to the left I found out why - the adjuster knuckle was bent. I think I have a spare one in my parts somewhere if the thread is the same, otherwise I'll be ordering a couple from across the pond.

 

Replaced the clock spring on my R53. Added airbag resistors to the clock spring. Now to refinish my M7 carbon fiber scoop as its faded beyond belief. Worst $400 ever spent. All my CarbonMINI stuff is still looking great. Maybe I'll just paint it.

 

Coilies are being fitted as I post! Excited!

 

Currently has the Evora and a GP2. We've spent quite a few days driving MINIs together in the Smokies. Dating back to the JCW.

 

Who's that miniature klans member in the reflection?

 

Clock Spring.....? Hmm.

 

I might be calling it the wrong name. The white wheel behind the steering wheel.
