    It will be just as hot here in Philly but with HIGH humidity. Over 85% humidity, heat index will be 115.

    Crap. It is following me.

    I leave Philly on Monday, and the temperature drops 15 degrees on Tuesday. :Banghead:

    Those look like machine welds, nicely done. I hope you bought lug bolts and not lug nuts? :)

    I like the adjustable control arms, but why didn't you replace the uppers too?

    How does it ride now, stiffer? The same? Smoother? what were you going for?

    Yesterday I walked my the Mini in the garage and looked at it. It is very dirty but I am back on the road so I guess it will be that way till the weekend.










    Unless someone here wants to run by my house and give it a bath

    I couldn't agree more. We stay on the square across from the court house. I was planing on going out after dark with my camera. After walking to the market for lunch I decided against it. I would have been unarmed. Shame really

    Debating changing my head gasket. Pulled spark plugs, and cylinder one piston is wet, don't smell like gas either.Spark plug is wet and doesnt smell like gas either. When I first start it in morning throws cylinder 1 misfire. Sputters at first for a while then smooths out. What looks like water comes out the exhaust for a few seconds too. Hoping I'm correct.

    Yeah, water from a cold exhaust system is normal. But, it should not smell like anything.

    On my way home from the office last night, I waved at a red MINI going the other way. The driver flashed her headlights and waved at me :)

    Turns out it was my daughter on her way to visit a friend.

    Installed the fuel pressure guage on the left. Pressure is steady. I think that kind of ruled out fuel stuff, maybe? Feeling more like I may trouble shoot the whole moisture/possible leak into cylinder number 1. I am dreading the thought of tearing everything apart and replacing the head gasket.[​IMG]
