The latest must-have mod for your cars ;)

Oh God no. :puke: -
Well, this one isn't exactly what you wanted, perfect, but at least there's an explosion in it! ->:hello2:

Wish I could help (my R53 has both the driving lights and the aero kit) but I didn't do the install, I had the dealer do it.

It's quite simple, really. DCMM refuses to be held legally responsible for what happens at an event we don't organize, particularly if there is driving involved. Since the event isn't a DCM

That's fine - at least they are amber when they light up. What I particularly hate are red turn signals - which is how they came in 1st Gens from 2005 onwards, and how many cars sold here in the USA come.

Yeah, the tail lights are easy to swap out - I swapped my own ones out with the Euro version (with amber turn signals, the way they should be!).

Exactly. There was nothing that could really be done about it, so th

We did! The recorded time showed us 5 minutes off, which was impossible because we had taken the previous timed turn right on the dime per the sheet and our stopwatch. The timeke

Ideally, if you're going to be sitting stationary for any length of time, you should put the car in neutral and take your foot off the clutch.

Well, despite a few minor glitches and hiccups, that was an AWESOME event! BRAVO to all of the hard work by the organizers and volunteers. It is definitely a complicated event to run, but it was absolutely worth it, IMO... both for the fun had

Ali, Can you please give us an example of the information that will be provided? You don't have to give us one of the actual clues, just a really good idea of what sort of thing to expect. I've done a TSD rally before, and it was never properl

Recommended Non-Dealer for Early Oil Change?
Edge replied to 1car-nut's topic in Maintenance & Modifications
That's fine if you're comfortable with doing it yourself, but a lot of MINI owners out there (most of them, I'd venture) would rather pay the extra $20 or so to have someone else do it. Different strokes for different folks! -
The tires pictured are included, but as I indicated, they are worn out and should be replaced with the tires of your choice. The old tires are Pirelli Winter 240 SnowSport runflats. They served me very well for 5 winters!

Virginians can also get one through VDOT: VDOT :: E-ZPass

That is the key difference between runflats and non-runflats, and why I choose to continue to use runflats. They have much sharper turn-in, without the "mushiness" of a flexible sidewall. I personally don't give a damn about the harsher ride, the instantaneous, darting directional changes are worth it to me. Since my MINI is a street car, I am less likely to need/use the higher limit of grip of softer non-runflat rubber, than I am of the ability to instantly change lanes or dart around an obstacle. On a track car, it would of course be a different story. Everyone has different priorities.

I forget exactly where, but it isn't close to Fontana Village. It's in a "nearby" town. Might have been Maryville, TN.

That was a blast! Thank you to all who came - especially those from Maryland! Next year it will probably be back in Montgomery County again.
