The genuine MINI Challenge splitter is a long and difficult journey having many side turns and dead ends. Many contacts have said they could deliver, many have failed. But as they say.... Enjoy the journey.... Is it in my hands.... No, but hopefully its just around the next bend. Don't want to jinx it, so that's all I'll say for now......
Gonna be 60 in Jersey today! One more day and I won't be able to say I never drive my MINI in the winter!
I got the ramps at local Canadian Tire: Pro Ramp, 12000lbs. | Canadian Tire They were fine going up with standard bumper, but on a way down with JCW Aero bumper and lip it was really CLOSE but no rubbing after all (I was sliding veeeery slowly....:biggrin5. If I lower her down on springs in the summer, I will have to modify the ramp with some wood for sure...
For me it's more like "What are you going to do w/ your MINI Tomorrow..." I'm due for my annual safety inspection this month, so I checked to make sure that all of my lights are working. I found the front left driving light burnt out, so I got a new bulb, replaced the old one and twisted the fitting back into place in the light housing. As soon as I did that, the bulb fell out of the socket, so it is now rattling around loose inside of the light! Looks like I'll be pulling the front bumper tomorrow so that I can retrieve the loose bulb and reinstall more tightly before heading off to the inspection station. To top that, Texas just made all of their inspection stations buy tint measuring devices, so the 'just barely legal' tint I've had on for 6 years (when it was determined by eye with a printed diagram held behind the glass) may now measure as non-legal by a percent or two! Ugh. I may be stripping tint tomorrow as well...
Re: Driving light.... Try this before you go to all the trouble of removing the light. If you have a shop vac hook up the exhaust side of the hose and blow the air stream not directly into the socket hole but kind of across the hole but also slightly into the hole. What you want to try and do is to get a circular air flow around inside the housing. If you do it carefully, you should start to hear the bulb rattle around inside the housing. At some point it should just shoot out the hole and onto your garage floor......
Drove to work this morning with the windows down! 50 degrees and the high was 62 for the first full day of winter.
Bought some used/almost new 16 inch Koenigs in black chrome mounted with near new yokahama winter-drives for Scooter. Man what a steal.
Not complaining about shirt sleeve weather in December. I'm way past the need for a White Christmas. A few snow flurries on Christmas morning, then back to the 60's would be great. Jim
