Pulley just arrived, so I am good to go :top:

Oooops My post has be edited :top:

Well, my MINI buddy, Ali, picked up the belt tension tool from Beau and if the pulley arrives tomorrow, I will be ready to rock & roll :top: If not, I will be there to help out

Hey Beau, Hopefully you can make it on Sunday. Gute Fahrt wants to meet his Hyper Blue brother Alice If you every need help, I have some experience working on my 05 MCS :top: See ya soon, Brian

Thanks to Ali and Beau meeting up today, I will have a belt tension tool for Sunday :rock: Now I hope that USPS delivers my Priority package tomorrow.

Just saw this and it would be great if you made it to Craig's "garage day"

I am located in Chantilly and work near Dulles. Need to check my schedule for Saturday and see if I can meetup with you. Thanks for the offer :top:

Does anyone have a belt tension tool that I can borrow:questionmark: :questionmark: I will be replacing my crank pulley within the next week or so and need one to remove the supercharger belt.

Since the event is close enough to drive home afterwards, I am just going to make it a day event. Plus by not getting a room, I will have more MINI mod money

Hey Roomie, I am heading down either Sunday or Monday for the week. I am so ready for some vacation!

I still have my 05 MCS exhaust if anyone is interested :top:

I took a Phil Wicks driving class when I first bought my MINI and ohhhh what fun it was :rock: Sure wish I could afford more track time on road courses Going to give Autocross :motor: a try this year since the cost is minimal :top:

I agree 100% with switching mechanics. :top: I have done both jobs and there is nothing to difficult especially if you are a mechanic in shop.

This looks like a good article on the front bumper removal - http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/MINI/55-BODY-Front_Bumper_Removal/55-BODY-Front_Bumper_Removal.htm I hope this helps :top:

I removed the bumper skin and bumper on my 05 Cooper S when I installed my lights. It is a pain at first but it is do-able. I actually ended up removing the skin 3-4 times because I needed to adjust the bracket I installed. :top: If you have worked on cars before I am sure you won't have any problems plus you would save some $ for more mods.

That was my exact thought and I agree with it 100% :rock: Very nice tribute from the DCMM crew :top:

The MINI on the shirt sure looks familiar with the 4 auxilliray lights

Right now it is 7 MINI's vs. 7 BMW's

Looks like a Z3 got in also Lets get the final 8 spots filled with MINI's so we can embarrass the BMW's :embarassed:

One thing I surely want to do is go back to The Filling Station Deli (http://www.thefillingstationdeli.com/) for a Cuban sandwich :eating:

:eating:I plan on leaving/arriving on Sunday. :rock: Will be crashing on a friend's couch for a few days and then staying at C3M's cabin the rest of the week. I signed up for the welcome dinner and the brewswap :beer::beer:. Will be helping with some group drives :motor: and whatever else I want to do :biggrin: I just had Barry add me to the farewell dinner :eating::eating:

You might check out the marketplace listing for the 16inch rims. Here is the link. http://dcmetrominis.org/forum/topic/1730-brand-new-wheels-and-tires/ Not my rims so I do not know if they are TPMS compatible.

once you are sign up, your BMWCCA number is included in you email receipt :top:

I had no issues with the registration at 8 this morning. :top: But I just checked the attendee list and there are still only 4 people showing as registered. There must be something wrong with their server.

Craig, you should shoot Etherpool an email and see if he can resolve the registration problems.
