Put the new shorter belt on. Pry bar only slipped a few times. First test run no smell of burning rubber. But my boost went from 14.5 to 14.7 not much of a change. Also added this It added about 2HP!
Gave the Mini a much needed bath, then cruised the neighborhood with my neighbor Olivia and her Cabrio. I even managed to get three Mini's in one picture!
Picked up Smores/pumpkin carving supplies for afternoon back yard fire pit entertaining......you know it's been a crazy day when you find pumpkin seeds on the toilet lid.
Thinking about milling a custom knob now that the tip is threaded M12x1.25...hopefully, it'll be the next boredom project.
Sometime back, my buddy & I snagged some hobo Stagg struts off eBay for cheap. We learned why....the rod tip was oversized & didn't fit our strut mounts. That never discouraged us as we wanted to experiment, test how far these would go & how they would feel vs. OE. That same bud finally found some downtime to mill the excess rod diameter to fit our mounts. Below are some pix, better than mine coz he shot em. Shaving: Stagg on left vs OE on right. Why the smaller diameter threaded part is the headscratcher. Maybe that's the upgrade: Lightening Rears were fine: Why not return em, you ask.....we're not proud, but admittedly, hobos.
Well yesterday I planned to change the oil and put new clips on the chrome strip under the front windshield. But I installed a window regulator on my oldest daughters BMW 318ti, then oldest son wanted to plasti dip his rims. We had to re-do 3 of them but they turned out good. eat dinner, it was dark outside so I just worked on my bike. Can you guess what I plan to do today? Oh yeah I forgot the spare car quit last night when I tried to put it up. :mad2:
That's pretty cool! There are a few of those pink MINIs running around. My granddaughter Aubree and hers. A true mini owner, she has already started modding hers, started with some Hello Kitty vinyl.
Co worker wandered by and asked me to introduce him to the MINI dealer. He is interested in the 5-door MINI. The F55 isn't available yet but it is on the MINI.ca website so I guess they are taking orders. We're going car shopping
Took my car out everyday this week to run errands and today I put fuel in it for the first time in a month.
