Installed a new turbo oil feed line and oil return line. Took me 9 hours which was 1 less than I expected. Now to watch for oil drips the next few days. Thanks to Detroit Tuned for the parts and instructions.
Yalla Yalla in the rain Me and Scooter went to the Yalla Yalla Rally today, started out South of Denver. Started out at Schomp MINI, RSM provided a good BBQ, we were joined by 37 MINIs who rallied in the rain, it was wet. FUN and wet, did I say wet. I did registration and the mid-point check-in, then we had fun and food at the end-point up North of Denver. PICASA ALBUM
:cornut: I'm going to the store, in Margi, with my computer buddies, to get a new computer box. They told me that only a Neanderthal could fix this one. Jason
Last three days... off the grid at MINIs Slay the Sleeping Dragon! Drove a bazillion miles, roomed with my brother from another mother abuzavi. Leaf colors were at their peak at the higher elevations on the Cherohala Skyway, and it was an absolutely perfect top-down day. Bedded in my new EBC Redstuff pads the best possible way - on Hellbender. Yesterday was the 6th anniversary of me picking up Blimey, 123,000 miles ago. Fitting that we spent our anniversary together in Dragonland. Drove a scorching late night Dragon run last night. Drove home to a family reunion today.
Washed 5 days of rain and road crud of the wife's Countryman today, spiffed with Hydro. Scooter is next to get yesterdays Yalla Yalla muck off of him. Maybe on Monday, so I have something to post.
Washed the "Amish Road Apples" of of Dark Helmets front splitter, windshield, grilles, driving lights, bonnet and roof after the Fall Leaf Run yesterday. They need to take bran and fruit out of their horses diets....nasty stuff:lol:
Back from Fla and drove the MINI to work this morning! It was great to cruise at speed again, Melbourne was 45 mph speed limit! I thought I was standing still all week!
Oil Change for Gnat today. new wiper blades too, and the washer bottles are now all topped off. Thanks to Anson over at John Best's place. Oh, looked at a potential winter beater too. 530i with a 5sp.
I ordered Tackleberry a new Autocarbon Carbon FIber/Alcantara steering wheel. It will arrive tomorrow. A new Wilwood complete brake system is on its way too. It arrives on Thursday. Everything is just in time for the car show on Saturday.
I washed my MINI today and it rained about 1/2 hour later. Reason my car needed a wash, last weekend, it served as mobile support for a Charity bike ride called Ride for Refuge. I ended up transporting bikes, injured bike riders, and doing minor repairs on bikes along the 50km route.
