I am saddened to see this as it looks in relatively fixable shape. Are you going to get it?

 

If the fog lights are clear don't have any chips or cracks, get em for me!

 

I feel a little better now. My MINI never got to that point of depravity.

That’s one of the selling points of the US MILL WORKS mount. Car wash proof. The back plate goes edge to edge of the plate.

 

Using my bluetooth elm 327. And also when I plug the BMW scan tool. Both power on but will not connect to ecu. Wondering if I jiggled something loose when swapped out the header

I don't either. Going to look and see if there are any loose pins in the obd port later. Even the hard wired one I have, powers on but doesn't link to ecu. Thanks for the help

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

Been so long since I've been there though. Live in Georgia now.

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.

La la la la Ferrari ! Love it

 

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.
