Thx im new to minis and didnt know.

 

well i did this around 11pm last night cuz i couldn't wait for the weekend to start. took a pic of the mounting this morning. now i need to get it lowered a bit more today.

 

 

Now THAT is one HOT Mini!!!!!!!!!

 

No worries, Giggles. We're all responsible for our own motoring habits. I didn't mention that when we entered at Swift Run it was after 4:30 and the ranger at the gate had just shut down the computer so I didn't have to pay the $15. Nice!

 

Ra2fanatic - looks great. I'm waiting for some coilovers for mine so I
can get it lowered abit.

 

+1. Would love to see some other angles and close-ups of those wheels.

 

awesome. which coilovers are you going with? i'm on my 2nd set of megan racing coilovers
will do! it's pouring rain here in SF, but i'll pack my camera and take some pics

 

For you, Dutch!

 

That's too funny!

BTW, my great grandfather's and grandfather's names were both Walter, and it was my dad's and is my middle name.... :^)

C ya,
Dutch

 

Megan as well. Ordered them from Way and he was out so Megan Racing drop shipped them to me. Of course, no numbers id'ing them on the box and when I had it in the shop for the other stuff my mechanic realized they were for an R53. Way called me and apologizied and said they should have some in by Tuesday and Megan is going to overnight them to my mechanic. Great service from Way, and Megan actually. He took care of everything. Not his fault.

 

Those look great my friend is on his 4th or 5th set of CCW's now he has an issue with not having a gf/wife, rent/mortgage, or anything else to spend his money on so he spends crazy amounts on his cars (which he now has 2 cars, 1 mkV GTI and a new mk6 Jetta wagon, both bagged and both on CCW's, the Jetta just got finished with the air install with hardlines by swoops and frame notching, the whole 9 yards). Anyways, I was wondering how come yours has 8 hols and not just 4 for the bolts? I'm really liking the red on your car (so glad you didn't do black ), I'd say drop the front a bit and you're golden... the fitment looks awesome

 

Funny - it's my father's and grandfather's name, too. Must have been that generation - I haven't run across any kids in a long time with that name.

 

I grew up and played hockey with a Walter, but I never knew he was a Walter til a few years after I met him since he always went by "Chuck"

Oh and btw... today I picked my Mini up from the body shop with a freshly re-sprayed rear bumper, a new GP rear valence, and some freshly painted mirror caps and hood scoop in Chili Red after that I went to the dealer for my free oil change (had 1 left when I bought the car last month so I needed to take advantage).

 

Can't wait to see it, xstart!

 

Installed 15% pulley, bsh lower motor mount and tsw upper motor mount.

Got some major nvh going on, but hopefully I can sort it out. Dash rattles like you wouldnt believe and now the exhaust does too.

 

Took advantage of the warm weather here to adjust my new Yakima kayak rack so that I can haul my boat with it. Took some fine tuning, but managed to take the yak down the highway without any issues. Of course, it wasn't warm enough to actually take the boat in the water (we decided it was a better morning for breakfast), but now I know I can load it, no problem.

 

From Skyline Drive in VA - a great road with incredible views. Just take it easy, K?

 

Beautiful! Was this Skyline or Blue Ridge Parkway? We think Swift Run I s Blue Ridge. Just LOVE that place. TMI...one of my kids was conceived there..blush, blush....

 

Hubs thinks it's Hogs Wallow?????

 

Went and got some pancakes and some fast driving with MINI Performance Group up in Granville, NY!






Had a weird problem, was hearing a weird noise on turns, thought I might've been getting a flat, after some down time, some people thought maybe a wheel bearing because of the noise, got it jacked up and there was play in the wheel, noticed 3 of the 4 lugs on my driver front wheel had come pretty loose ??? Tightened up all the bolts and everything seemed fine, will be dropping by the dealership in the morning to make sure everything is good though anyway.

 

I'm not a fan of red/ black combos, but dude, your car looks sick with those rims!! Nice choice!

 

Installed my alta pulley and invidia exhaust yesterday. Exhaust should have been easy but took forever because of a couple rusty bolts off the cat that had to be cut off. If I only had a lift and a welder, would have taken minutes. Anyway, couldn't take it for a ride last night so did some cruising today. Wow!

New rims last week (eiken imolas - love them!). So today I painted he calipers sinc they are now visible. Cheap project that just adds so much. I'll take pics if the sun comes out tomorrow.

Not exactly today, but I've installed the JCW matte black grille, black brake and tail lights, and the Cravenspeed, Return of the CIA. So far so good. Some new plugs, wires and MSD Ignition coil are on the way. Can;t wait.
