    I like the euro shelf, but I don't think they make one for the R-56. :nonod:

    Now that I have completed the mods I promised pictures of, here they are. The Amp was suppose to go in the hole located under the seat, but I did not want to take the seat out right now. There was plenty of room behind/under it, so I built a box and mounted it here.

    I have the "boost" system, so the small, upper door speaker was disconnected and two tweeters were placed in the "A" pillars.

    [​IMG]

    I had the grill badge mounted on the grill, but made a bracket and moved it to the light bar. More air flow into the engine this way.

    Thanks for the pics Jim! Looks great!
    Although I still don't know how your Cooper has boost???? :devil:

    Today I played hookie and went to our local shop and got my springs put on with an alignment.
    Woohoo! Much less wheel gap :Thumbsup:

    I listened to try and figure out where a new noise is coming from, but only when the MINI is cold.

    Yes, but it is not an R56 and it is a result of the work that was recently completed. I do believe it is a belt noise, just not sure why a cold belt might squeak and a warm one wont.

    I've yet to query the braintrust...

    Yeah, I knew it wasn't an R56.
    But belts can slip when cold- the hubby's Jeep had a belt squealing ever time he started it for forever until it was adjusted.
    Well, good luck with figuring it out!

    Belts are more likely to slip and squeal when cold. The rubber is harder and less plyant. When the warm-up from the rotational friction and general engine heat they stop squaling as tthe rubber softens and becomes more plyant.

    I trailered her to MiniMeetWest with Gromie. Now she's detailed and parked with about 30 other MINI's. Oh, and we nearly killed the truck, need to upgrade the support vehicle!
