R56 ra2fanatic's R56S build
#903
Wheels arrived, front lip painted, splitters clearbra'd. Too much parts, not enough time to play with them. Getting tires mounted tomorrow morning.
On the MINI....still waiting on turbo! I wanted the K04 fully ported, so that's the only thing holding it back at this point. Should ship next Monday or so. Will be taking off hood and JCW side skirts to get repainted. Remove all rockchips and start fresh.

MINI hood, side skirts, and wheel arches are all off for repainting. Rock chips galore from all the daily driving and track days.
This time, paint, and then clearbra would address this for the most part. Followed up by another full detail on the MINI and she'll be back in business. Probably looking at another 2-3weeks.

You must mean the exhaust manifold. Yes it was replaced. Any time I take her apart she gets all new gaskets and bolts. Most important to replace, at least what I think are most important, are the hollow bolts and their washers.
When I have the walnut she'll blasting performed I'll be sure the shop replaces the intake manifold gaskets as well.
I just put it together. That's the last thing on my mind right now as I continue to put it back together...
At least it wasn't broken!

Very true!

And the intake gasket will be replaced when Motoring Magic does my blasting

any thoughts on what to do about the lack of cup holders due to the CAE install?
while they're not super necessary they'd be nice. I'm considering modifying the door pockets to fit a cup but haven't measured it/mocked it up yet. I'm still working on a more permanent place for the sport button too
