Wow! How about that all you vendors who sell this junk? Why don't you do the right thing and remove this junk from your catalogues and post a warning instead?
$$$ from price markup = greed. Its the same with the Screamin Demon coil. The OEM coil and Wire are good up to 400 WHP.
I have a spare oem coil & plug wires on the shelf. If I add those on to what I already have I'll be making some huge power.
Today I took a brisk ride to the US Post Office. It was a good run with the windows down, the sunroof open and the sweat sound of a SC. :cornut:
I hadn't driven the Cooper for awhile, so I took it out for a spin after the dog and I did the walking routine. I'm getting my S ready for a trip next week to see a friend in PA. Now that all the Dr. appts. are done for awhile, it's time to get out and enjoy the Fall colors.
I felt your pain acutely in 2006, when all my R53 friends left me behind while I was at the Dragon with my R50cvt. when I got home, I bought my present 2006, MCSa. The Cooper now goes to shows and on more mundane drives.
Got to see this while working at my daughter's band competition on Saturday. Would've much rather been in that lineup. :lol:
Put on R56 calipers, Stop Tech braided lines, and Akebono front pads. Thanks to c0op3r for the great R53 brake guide.
Used the Mini this morning starting around 0500 to fetch supplies to keel this thing fed. With these.... To make a bunch of this... To feed these folks... My buddy and I donate the food every year for the American Heroes/Wounded Warriors event that Ward Burton puts on. I like to do everything I can to show these young Vets that they are appreciated and their sacrifices will not go unnoticed. I still remember how the men and women of my generation were treated when we returned home and will do everything I can to see that that does not happen again. If any of y'all are in the area I'll be glad to save you some que and fixin's. :biggrin5:
Ya know, I was about to ask if you had my address to send me some of that BBQ. Then I read the text under the images. Those guys certainly deserve it more than I do. Thank you for giving back and supporting those that help keep the USA as the best place in the world.
And, my new OEM Wiper blades arrived. \ No "my blades are better" Crashton. I like the OEM's. Bosch Icons didn't really do it for me.
Maybe you are installing them wrong. The rubber side goes toward the windscreen. :wink: I do know my washers are worlds better than Gnat's & don't get me started on my superior rear wiper. Did this today: Added some Philips LED tail light bulbs. They may even be bright enough to keep late braking tailgater's off my bumper. :fingerscrossed:
Wait... All of yalls MINIs have washers for the windshield! Must not have been one of the options checked on my rebuild. I do need new wipers though... And one of the damn nuts that holds the arm on.
Not All of yalls gots dem warsher jet dohickies... Some of us, well me, thought it is more important to have a cool looking hood with louvers than be able to see.
