What did you do to your mini today?
Looks like a version of the forge one, but we just added Canton Racing ones and they have a matching power steering tank. Don't forget there cap also for it listed below.

1. Got two badge holders and three badges from gobadges.com along with a local Mini club badge.
2. Wrapped the boot handle in 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl.
3. Wrapped the passenger-side tail light trim with vinyl. Still working on wrapping the driver's side trim.
I like the gloss black vinyl a lot better. Previously, I had the trim plastidipped with some coats of glossifier but it still wasn't as shiny as I would have liked.

Coilovers, rear sway bar, rear adjustable control arms, adjustable front sway bar links, used RED rse05s (lol, they were cheap enough I planned on getting them PC'd)
Waiting on spacers for the front, but may try and get it aligned asap

Just double check your install to make sure things are connected.
K96 Fuel pump relay / driver compartment fusebox

Swap it with another one and see if it kicks on.

Installed the new fuel pump yesterday. Checked the fuses today. Believe it or not it was the small 20 amp fuse that was blown. Went down to autozone and replaced the fuse. Fired right up. Cleared all the codes out of the computer. Took it for a test drive and thank the MINI Gods it is arose from the dead!!

As stated above, don't give up on Barnaby yet.

Oh yes!!!!! I was hoping this would be something like that! Good to hear Barnaby is back and motoring!
But... Why did the fuse blow? Here is hoping with the new pump/fuse, you are good to go!
How hard was it to change out the fuel pump? Buddy of mine has his pump swapped out at the dealer and it was close to $800-900. And then talked him into also swapping the other side out with the filter/level/regulator. That came to around $1,100 for everything.

That is CRAZY! The fuel pump was honestly one of the easiest jobs I did on the MINI yet. From start to finish took me about 1hr with cleanup. The fuel filter wasnt too bad either but is a little messy thats all. I hate the dealer fees it is robbery..
I know I'm cross threading this pic, but last week i made this side decal.. its not completely straight, but looks slick and cost me $15. TODAY I got new wheels and tires put on.. some summer S-04 pole position, just for the remainder of the year before I have to buy some winter tires...

Installed a NM Intake tonight. Looks great and sounds fantastic. Didn't have the time to take it for too long of a drive, but I know it will be great.

Did an exterior light bulb refresh since I had a fog light bulb, brake light bulb and back up light bulb go down. Every taillight bulb, running light bulb, side turn signal and front end bulb were replaced. The only bulbs I left were the headlight bulbs. I will wait for them to go before replacing those…
