What did you do with your MINI today?

New front tag came in just in time for MOTD

 

Flexpipe was garbage and cracked. Got new OEM one back on there with new O2 sensor. Think it was also affecting the post catalytic too lean issue. Hooked up the laptop and cleared the memory. Haven't had any P2096 code or SES light the last few days. Just have to wait and see what long term will be and if it comes back.

I got my MINI washed, and drove it with the windows open.

I saw at least five MINIs today, and waved at every single one. Nobody waved back. WTF? When I had a my Miatas, everybody waved at each other. Maybe it's a BMW influence -- none of those people wave to each other.

I hardly see any here around Savannah, GA. Few have waved back. Guess the ones that dont wave back, assume they are driving any regular car. I look at it like when I ride motorcycles, motorcycles aren't really ridden by everyone. Everyone drives a car. But not everyone drives a MINI.

Waving is STUPID ! We give people the Philly salute.

 

Come on Dave tell us how you really feel! We have that salute in Jersey too but we give it the people that don’t wave! See you soon buddy.

See you soon buddy.

I washed the car and packed it with good beer, car cleaning supplies and a few clothes.

 

Same here all ready to roll Wednesday morning. Safe travels my friend!

Got the MINI washed and ran some errands for todays project around the house. It may not be a truck but it still has utility.



So shiny now...

 

We've been going through the my old R53. Now that the new header (Thanks Thumper) is on, and waiting for the sprintex sc to come in, it's exciting to see things coming back together. New header got ceramic coating last week, as well as a bunch of other bits and bobs, new rear trailing arms from an 06 are on, new hubs, axles, dampener, chain, oil catch can, stainless tanks...fuel system has been gone through..subframe is cleaned up with new lines, shield, and tie rod ends in...all sorts of stuff. I need to get the pics off my phone and onto the pc.

 

New clutch is in as well.

 

Ordered a Spec Stage 3 clutch and lightweight flywheel. They don't have it listed on the website because they haven't developed the flywheel yet. They're going to use my stock flywheel as the template.

 

New oil cooler to be fit with electric fan, said clutch in, timing chain and guides, more new parts...

 

A render done by buddy's coworker, this may be the end result.

 

Got her all polished up tonight. One day of work then off to MOTD!

 

So you are going to copy the ATLA alter ego and stick f bomb stickers on the door. How original.

 

Dave...what's an "ATLA" alter ego?

Anyway, the R50's ready to go to MOTD, on Tuesday. I'm taking a lazy day tomorrow and just mowing and resting up for the drive down.

Hope everyone has safe travels!

 

I believe he's speaking on the wrap colors on that rendering. I'm pretty sure I've seen something very similar on another MINI.
