What did you do with your MINI today?

What, no oil and filter?

 

Put 450 miles on the black one yesterday going to and from all places.....the

beach (in Feb). Just got a wild hair, it actually was a nice long day.

 

Damn, forgot........sure just add more work!

 

Sounds like you'll have some fun. If you don't have one already I'll recommend an ATI crank damper.

 

Great advice.....I am going to examine mine closely, but have not seen any issues yet as I do give it a look over when changing to/from winter wheels.

 

Trouble with those Scott is they seem to fail without warning. As our cars age failing crank dampers seem to be more common. Hope you have a healthy one. :fingerscrossed:

 

Me too......hadn't budgeted for a new pulley.

 

Gave it the day off and took advantage of cheap fuel to drive the Jeep.

 

Mine is going on soon.

It's cheaper to budget for a new damper than a new engine.

 

Looked at it in the garage because it too damn cold to drive anywhere.

 

If you think it's too damn cold now, wait until this weekend.
On the positive side, at least you have a garage. I have only street parking.

 

Oh yeah it's going to be real cold this weekend.

 

It was 72 and sunny here today and the rest of the week. I feel sorry for you guys.

 

Dont know what "cold" you guys are talking about... I'm looking at 65 and sunny, with the probability of getting a working engine in my R53!

 

Rotated the tires, waxed the calipers, and test fit some new wheels.





More thorough writeup coming soon.

 

There you go with that Mr. Fancy pants photography again...

I love it!

 

Appreciate the compliments.

I need to start shooting more for myself - last year left me a little unfulfilled.

 

WE went to Boot Camp.

 

What kind of boots did ya get?

 

Made an appointment to bring my car to Helix in Philly on March 9 to drop it there for the week while I go to Atlanta for work. Will be returning to a greatly "enhanced" version of La Mosa...
