Today I put on a stubby antenna, replaced the side scuttles with 2011 model and added a magnetic badge holder to the grill.

Had some issues with one of my end links so that got taken care of today. Since I'm on my H&R springs for 6 days, thought I'd share a pic.

Thanks, VYPUR! I've got the kid just about where I want him after 2 1/2 years of ownership.

And then I'll read about another awesome mod on NAM...

Well, not today, but yesterday. I Threatened someone i bought an ebay item from. Its been nearly 3 weeks since I payed and no item, no shipment notification, no nothing.

And I bought a CF Hoodscoop from a member here on the Marketplace. Awesome. Can't wait until I get it bolted on.

Nudnik and I drove out to Tortilla Flat and to the end of the pavement on Apache Trail, then stopped at Tortilla Flat for some yummy Prickly Pear ice cream. Lotsa twisties out there in the Superstitions....

The new Ireland Engineering fixed camber plates make a *HUGE* difference in how Nudnik grabs in corners. "Point and go" has a lot wider range of speeds and corner tightnesses, and now Nudnik kicks the rear end out if I get in it too hard rather than scrubbing rubber off the front tires with understeer....

Also, when I got home, dusted the dash and all the nooks and crannies, took out the floor mats, vacuumed, tossed some papers I had accumulated in the door pockets, vacuumed out the boot, and ran out of light before I got to wiping the dash down with cleaning wipes.... Tomorrow morning, I guess....

Next up (probably around my birthday or so): 15% pulley....

C ya,
Dutch

If that certain Ebay item is a CF front splitter, welcome to the boat! I'm going on 4 weeks with no hard info from them at all. If I ever get it in my hands, I'm going to unload on that "business" here and every MINI forum I can find. It ain't just the two of us. I've read some real horror stories about people waiting 3-4 months for a relatively simple part.

In some ways, I'm glad that I don't have an S. I'd have way too many choices to make.

Checkers,
That looks freaking awesome....can't wait to start working on mine. All I did is take the pins out of the rear headrest. Had bad storms (hail,tornados) the last few days been stuck inside.

Headed out on MINI run with about a dozen other MINIS, but before I met up with them I found a big puddle and took a picture.

I removed my noisemaker, then I shoved a Nike golf ball into the hose wrapped a hose clamp around it, and the noise reduction in the cabin is priceless
