Went with a small group to the Honda Heritage Museum. Smallish place with a lot of their cars, motorcycles, and power equipment there. The center section is cool. It's a big ring of engines from everything including the jet.

 

Nice photos!

 

I watched the snow melt off of it......

Took the doggy for some long walks and put about 65 miles on my S, got gas and see the prices are headed up again. Gotta take the wife's car out before the pricing changes...again, and for the trek to MAG with it tomorrow.

 

Got a package for the Rat-MINI in the mail today...



No more stupid Chrono-Pack after a little paint, and some coding. [emoji12]

 

Woohoooo...something normal!:ihih:

 

I had to go back and actually "like" the first post...

 

Wife's S is now all fixed...new water pump and door, window, sunroof actuator...whew..two trips to the dealer in just over one week. Her extended warranty is about to run out...am happy it covered almost everything!

Now, I get to bring in the R50 for the power steering recall [whenever that happens...supposedly in March].:fingerscrossed:

 

I put new Rota RB wheels in Hyper Black with new tires, Continental Contact Sport AS tires in 215/45-17, on my MINI.





The new wheels weigh 18.2 lbs each, about four pounds per wheel lighter than stock.

The tread on the old tires was getting down to the wear bars and I'd curbed the stock wheels pretty good. I got larger than stock tires so that they would pooch out past the rims to help protect the wheels. The stock run flats were actually inset from the stock wheels, which made it easy to scuff up the wheels. The speedometer is now within two mile/hour of the GPS at 70 mph instead of four miles per hour, like it was before.

 

I did this...



Trust me, they're MINI parts, and a PAIN to mask! Tomorrow will be paint, then you can see. [emoji6]

 

Nice choice of wheels !!

 

I've been wanting a set of those bad. But, I doubt they'll be making them in 5X112 because of the spoke design.

 

Speed-O-Meter and Tach?

 

Bingo.
