New South Texas r53 owner

Hello all, I recently bought a 2005 r53. I live in Brownsville TX and enjoy spotting Mini's everywhere I go. I saw one at Wal-mart yesterday and gave him my OEM antennae b/c his was missing!!

I just posted in the drivetrain section regarding shops in the RGV or other recommended shops in TX. Any input is appreciated.

Welcome to NAM! I just joined up and I am from Texas also. I have not heard of any good shops around your area but if I do I will be sure to pass it on.

Caleb: Hi and thanks for keeping an open ear, I appreciate the input. I got in touch with K-Huevo and he recommended a shop in SA, I'm just waiting on a price. Also.... after seeing your intro I realize I need to do a better job on my intro and take some good pics, til now I thought the sig-pic would do.....silly Jay.

Helix: Hi, I called your shop yesterday. I spoke with you 2 weeks ago regarding performance upgrades but realized that I didn't let you speak enough. I look forward to your insight.

Thank you, thank you. On my way out the door with my OM-D, just gonna give her a bath, dress the tires and snap away. Today's a overcast day, so they should come out well.

Never got around to washing her, but here are some pics.... What you can't see in them is the transmission fluid on the floor of the garage....oh, the joys of European car ownership

The only thing I've done is change the tires to Continental DSW 205/50/r17 and the stubby antenna (as mentioned before). I really like these tires. I abhor the roof rack and am looking forward to deleting it....after fixing the transmission leak of course.

Random acts of kindness are fun. Helping other people feels great! (Until you get taken advantage of, then it sucks.)
