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

I used 303 on a pick up truck tonneau cover and it did a nice job.

 

Looks good today but just wait a few days until it fully cures. After a few days when you wash your car you will be amazed. :ihih:

 

My car transported my son and myself to do a little car shopping. Now that he is done with school and working so he car afford a nicer car. Originally it was just an exploratory day seeing what he liked. He's not a car guy and wanted another wagon, not an SUV, so he can haul his amps and guitars. The last car we looked at was a 2011 Acura TSX wagon, fully loaded tech package and all, with only 35k mi. The car had been taken care of very well and had a full service history documented.

We went back Sunday and talk numbers and got it for $20800 and they gave us $1000 for the just-about-dead Subaru. All that studying pays off and electrical engineering pays well. He is a happy guy. Now I got to teach him how to really take care of it.

^^^ Oh it's for a 3rd Gen. yuck rrr: :lol:

 

The devil is in the details....

Notice the fitment years.....:biggrin5:

 

Meh, I have a better custom setup now.

:ihih::lol::devil:

Focal ES 165K2 (Fronts)
Infinity Kappa 6x9 Rears
JL 10w7 sub
JL HD 900W / 5
5-Channel Class D System Amplifier, 100 W x 4 + 500 W x 1

 

WOW...I know you can read, but can you still hear? :devil:

 

Now you know why my license plate says WHAAAT. :cornut: :lol: I have had the same plate since the 80's.

Yes I can hear, it is a well built system with lots of sound deadening included. I built it for "sound quality" and not to be heard Booming from a block away. I like clear precise sound not the Boom & Tisk crap.

I did a IASCA Competition car in the early 90's for Booming with Sound Quality. It was all MB Quart speakers, with (4) HiPhonics amps and active 64 band EQ and Active Crossovers which included (2) 12 JL Audio subs in a band pass enclose. Won 1st place at a lot of events and after a few years it became boring. That was freaking loud as hell but still sounded good through the sound range and below.

 

^^^The whales thank you for the peace and quiet....
And because you retired, they are starting to return to the eastern shore...

 

Barry/Jan's work:

 

And another...

 

When do you get that work of art back? Bet you are itching to hit the track.

 

Lines, probably new cam, tune, wide body, aim dash, seats harnesses and steering wheel...But the hard part is done, rest is relatively easy; Barry finished the dry sump quicker than I expected. I didn't think I was going to be able to get on the track this year but it's looking more likely I will now.

 

A friend of mine & member of MA dropped his awesome MINI to me today for a weekend full detail.

I will take pictures when it done so you will have to wait.

 

Dropped my R53 off at a buddy's house who happens to be a member of MA and is obsessive compulsive when it comes to detailing... Can't wait to see it on Tuesday when I get back from visiting my Mom & Dad in CT...

 

I wounder who they are talking about?

I wished you lived closer Dave. I'd bring mine over.

 

That's very cool! I've made similar purchases for my wife, daughter and son. It always seemed to be ok after spending that money. Nice job!
