    Your spot of frost is actually just a little bit off of where the intake sits... Now if you had one of these, it would be a cold air intake...

    Yesterday... for the first time in two weeks, I drove it. All better after it's stay at the Helix MINI spa. It was getting fixed up after I ran over a giant piece of cast iron that was lying on the road.

    Still waiting for my replacement VibraTechnics lower motor mount to come in, due supply lag. I forgot how much vibration was transmitted to the cabin with those BSH bricks of aluminum. Can't wait for that POS to go back on the Helix "reserve shelf."

    After finding the battery dead on my R53 last night, I will be tending to its needs this morning.

    Ordered the 215 45 R17 Dunlop Direzza Z2 Star Specs from Tire Rack using the MOTD sponsor link. Tires are shipping to Helix for La Mosa's 3/9 date with Eric and the Helix team for the enhancements.

    I still have the BSH (Race version, with the super hard bushing) if the Rat ever runs again, it will be getting changed the next time it knocks the oil pan loose!

    False.

    Yes. Why Marzo still had it hiding under his bench is beyond me. Colin needs to get on his people to get his resupply in the air.
