    Got side tracked for a few weeks but finally got back to working on the Mini!

    Got the RMW header off and the OEM header and exhaust installed...wow, forgot how silent it is with the stock cat back...

    But it's really a sleeper now, cause it's still got the cam, pulley, larger injectors along with Jan's tune, so when ya hit the gas no one hears me coming until I'm gone...lol:eek::D

    :cornut: Fueled her up with 93 octane, drained the OCC of 60cc of Dinosaur Snot, and added 1/2 qt of 5W30 Mobile Synthetic Gold Label oil. :Thumbsup:

    Drove out to the golf course and back (again) and in between did everything possible to spoil a previously sunny outlook.

    Took my JCW to the dealer for some PM (~46k miles), fix THREE window chips! and find out about the CEL I got last week - turns out it's the timing chain - so they are going to replace it.

    Got a brand new 2012 Clubman (500 miles!) for a loaner - boy do I miss my JCW - even the Sport button didn't cut it. Should have mine back tomorrow! :D

    Got mine back from the dealer (Cin. Mini +1) with a new timing "chain" and new fluids - runs great - sounds even better - now all I need to do is find a twisty road.

    Edit: the change was taken from my wallet ;)
