    Thought it would fix it. No luck still. Will be taking it this Saturday to a shop here in town that specializes in MINI cooper s. Maybe they can guess why it doesn't link when this is plugged in

    Trying to figure out this wire. As soon as I connect this wire where it's supposed to go, it cuts off the link to my scan tool. Trying to find what it goes to. It's purple/ white.

    Been workin on a mounting solution for the intake. Anyone know much about rubber and how well it holds up in the engine bay? I'd like to use a couple of these mounted to a plate of sorts, I'd hack up the base and only use 1 maybe 2 of those mounting holes -

    If you go to the the Dragon or on twisty roads that you have run before you will notice it for sure.

    Will be making a template then cutting a bracket out of some thin plate steel for the intake mount. All will be done with a Dremel and a cordless drill.... Wish I had a shop like some of those guys on Velocity Channel :)
    Also, @Sully it's good to see you're getting around to our sponsors! Atta boy

    Hang in there. I know from personal experience that stuff can really wear you down. My thoughts and prayers for you Sir, and I hope to see you at the Dragon.

    I got my tires rotated for free... Thanks Discount Tire! I didn't even buy the tires from them.

    However, they "adjusted" my tire pressures. My MINI doesn't like that. My hyper-sensitive TPMS light is on. Now I have to get the owner's manual out and reset the stupid thing. There is nothing I can do to the air pressure in my tires to shut the TPMS light off. I could inflate them to 80 PSI, and that light won't go off. I have to reset the f-ing thing.

    I am in favor of the federally mandated TPMS, because most drivers are too busy on the phone, texting or updating Facebook to spend any time properly maintaining the car that could kill them if they don't properly maintain it.

    It is just a PITA when I have to tell MY car that there is nothing wrong with it -- after reading the owner's manual to find out how to tell it there is nothing wrong with it.

    If you try it, let me know how it works. My 19 year old truck has horrible hard water film on the passenger side windows from a former neighbor who watered it along with her yard for several years.

    Well I did nothing with the MINIs today. I planned on ordering the harness bar for the Helmet, but the Indian needed one more part. I road it this weekend to a open house at the Indian dealer. The generator is putting out some where between 12 and 15 volts. Thats a wee to much for a 6v system. The voltage regulator is a rear part so they want a lot for it. Oh well just another day!

    Good luck with that plan. I have lost count of the number of house-moms and dummass dads I've chewed out in parking lots for driving their children around in a minivan with steel belts showing through their miss-aligned and under-inflated tires. Most of them are embarrassed , but some of them have the nerve to tell me to mind my own business.

    Nanny state car laws aren't written for you and me, they are written for the "masses" who fill their garages with Walmart crap to the point that they have to park their 30-thousand dollar cars on the street. And, they are fine with that. After all, it is just a car, right? Nothing important.

    I would also tell you to mind your own business with a few F U included. Stay out of other lives, what gives you the right to think you can criticize others?

    Worry about yourself and move along.

    Oh ok. Wifey still think she's the boss though. Been in that situation a lot though for neighbors and friends. Especially when the wife is like, "I told so and so that you will change so and so's clutch". Good thing I like doing that stuff, and no one bothers me in the garage. Got my 50" on the wall in there and my fridge. Lol
