Most liked posts in thread: Winter to do list(s)

In another 1500 miles or so I'll

1) Change oil and filter

2) Rotate and balance tires

3) Clean the winter scum off, both inside and out

4) polish and wax

 

Already done:

replace crank pulley
rebuild front calipers
clean wheel hubs with dremel and swap plastic centering rings for aluminum with fresh anti-seize
regrease rear caliper slide pins
install new front rotor discs & new rear rotors, inspect hat and hardware
new front/rear street pads, bed in
install cravenspeed shifter plate

Still on the list:

Re-install front brake ducts, repair ducts with duct tape as necessary
Flush brakes with new fluid
Bleed clutch slave with new fluid
Install new quickfit pro harnesses
Wash and wax car
Clean up paint chips on hood and front bumper

And that doesn't include my daily driver, which is leaking oil as we speak!

 

Why did you wait so long? I's almost March.

I've done nothing to mine other than load a bunch more miles on. Can't wait to clean all the carp off the MINI & take the snow shoes off. Come on SPRING!!!

 

Same here and I don't have snow shoes on.

Let me see if I have this right. You store you car during the winter, so you can do mods on it, but because it is too cold you wait till spring to start them? Then your car is back on the road by summer, just before it goes back into storage for next winter. Hummmmmmm...... :cornut:

OK, I have to ask. When you finely drive it out of the storage bay, if you see it's shadow, do you go back inside? :lol:

Just messing with ya. Hibernation can be a good thing.

:sleep::sleep::sleep:

 

So, if you store your MINI for the winter you have to have it re-aligned? Man, I'm saving money by driving mine. :cornut:
