    It's about 8" tall. Your shift knob inspired me a bit. I've been a Zim fan for years, I'm thinking of having the Irkin (I don't know if I spelled that right) army logo cut out too.

    Today I am taking my custom exhaust back to the fab shop to have made perfectly straight again for the Dragon. :Thumbsup:

    Back story: I had a friend borrow it because his exhaust failed and at the time I had my Milltek on so it was hanging in the garage. Well his little brother took his R53 out while he was away and totaled it into a telephone pole. :mad2:

    I got my exhaust back but it has a "slight" bend in it and one of the hangers is bent.

    Busted out the Mini for a nice drive on a pretty nice day to meet up with fellow MINIacs for some good food. Spring is coming soon!

    :cornut: Tightened all of the hose connections on the modified PCV/OCC system(N14 engine). Now both the head exit hose(driver's side) and the crank case ventilation hose(passenger side) go to the OCC(together via 'T' fitting) and only the head ingress(passenger side), where the crank case hose used to enter the head, is blocked equalizing all pressure differentials. All is well.:Thumbsup:

    Changed the oil. Man it really needed it. I used Mobil 1 because it was on sale.

    In the last couple weeks I've had a walnut blasting, installed AEM CAI, Forge BO/Diverter valve, and BSH OCC and Boost Tap (to block rear PCV and activate Forge BOV). Made a run to Charlotte last weekend to pick up a friend at the airport and gave her a ride to Asheville. Hung out for a few days and returned home. A nice ride and all parts functioning properly. As soon as I get my new stripes and hashmarks installed I'll be ready for MOTD. :)
