What did you do with your MINI today?

Is that the Chevy S10 conversion?

 

Yup, from Greene Performance. I've been waiting for a good review on this.
I just wish they would work on the R60's... The Porkers clutch SUCKS!

 

Yeah. It's the S10 kit from www.greeneperformance.com. It is taking some getting used to. Unless you have a performance aftermarket clutch, this thing will make you left leg burn a little.

Best way to describe the difference is to feel the difference between the r56 and the R53. How much stiffer the R53 feels to the R56... add that difference in pedal stiffness back on to the stock R53 clutch.

Anyone driving an F56 manual, will be lucky to get my clutch to the floor now. (And if I ever take one for a hell ri..... I mean test drive again, I'll have to keep from putting my foot through the floorboard.)

 

Nice!

Will it be easier to bleed than the plastic OEM unit?

 

I wouldn't go that far. It took quite a while to get the bugger bled all the way. It was also easier to bleed the pig with it removed and dangling from the mounting point because the bleeder valve is practically kissing the trans housing.

 

I am sure there are members that would love a write up and possibly an install post. I know I would.

 

Done. In the 1st Gen section of the boards.

 

Drove to the doc in my MINI & made it home before the rains hit.

 

Walked by it. Still there, now rained on.

 

Had'ta move it out'a the way to get to the rest of the Christmas stuff in the overhead storage.

 

Took Scooter and washed and Hydro'd the heck out of him yesterday, today I cleaned all the windows again after a short fun drive to the range.

Tonight, we took Pat's Countryman to the MINI5280 Club Christmas Party/Jubilee at the local Baker Street Pub, proper British food was served. Fun, very good time, lots of raffle items given to most everyone.

Good night.

After topping up the oil level and driving it for seven miles to get a state inspection, I discovered how messy the engine compartment can get if you forget to replace the filler cap. Man! That sucker flings erl all over the place!

 

I took the wife out last night in the rain to go shopping in my MINI and ran to a few more stores today. (Still raining)

Holy Sh*t does my car bead water in the rain. I guess I will wash it tomorrow and put it back in the garage.

 

What a good hubby you are. :biggrin5:

Are you a purse-holder kinda shopping partner? :ihih:

 

Hell no, I sit in the car in the fire lane because I don't want my car dinged. :ihih::lol:

She was food shopping and if I go in the store she said the bill doubles.

 

Went on a club run today. Had a great time, even though it rained. I wish we could have traveled at a high velocity down this road.

 

Well, I finally took Jocko out for a spin today. With the windows and sunroof open, I went to the golf course to watch a couple of buddies play in a best ball and then I went and did a little Christmas shopping.
