Normally I'm not a fan of the halo effect but it looks really nice on your car and I like the front license plate.

 

Too small to be a Clubman. :devil:

The Photos look great.

 

Well, today was fun. I've been having a rough 3 weeks, totally out of shape, ready to kill. I was driving on I275 In Cinci. in the center lane. A blue car (sorry I did care enough to remember what kind
0 pulled up beside me and then tried to speed ahead. I let him. When we were equal in our respective lanes, I boosted it and blew him away by pulling in front of him. This happened twice. It appeased my urge to kill him .

 

Washed my car after work and got out the summer wheels. I wiped them down and applied a new glass sealant to them. I will be dropping the car off at a local shop for an oil change, balance my wheels and replace my jacked up Pa state inspection & Emissions stickers because I had my windshield replaced.

It's getting close to DRAGON TIME! :devil:

 

Finally installed the R56S front calipers, Pagid rotors, Stoptech pads and lines, and bled out all the old brake fluid for a fresh fill of Motul RBF600.

Next: Suspension.

 

Got the new Powerflex front control arm bushings on. Wow were the old ones bad. The car is an '05 with only 45k mi but they were shot. Alignment rack tomorrow.

 

I can't wait to see what mine look like at 160k :spin:

 

Glass sealant? What is this wizardry you speak of? Make them glossier and stay clean longer?

 

Ordered a new filter for an erl change and bought the Forge charge pipe Headed up to WMW (sorry Dave.0, it's local for me) after work to pick up my new MINI swag. I love blowing money apparently
Also, why the hell is oil 30 or so bux for the 5qt jug at autozone and 20 at the wallmarts? I had $40.00 in autozone bux to use up and I used up 38 of it on f'n oil. It's (sort of) free but still.

 

Got the safety and emissions done for registration. Mechanic let me poke around while it was on a lift and there's an oil leak in the back. Most likely cause? Here are some terrible potato pics. It seems to cover the CV boot on the passenger side mostly.

Crossed another mileage milestone.

 

rear of engine passenger side could be the gasket to the oil heat exchanger or drippings from the last filter change. I had oil some come from the valve cover in that same area.

If it appears to be creeping across the bottom of the motor coming from the front, then it's either dip stick tube o-ring (most likely) or crank position sensor o-ring, but that's more over to the driver's side.

 

Back to regular work, doing nothing with coupe:sleep::sleep:

 

Changed the oil and added one of these hose thingy's :
