That Mini looks SHARP. Nice car you've got there!

Sorry Gina and I had to bail a bit early. She had a lot of things she still had to do before work today. Great meeting everyone for the first time(at least recently....)!

Haha.. I did think you were following me for a minute, then i remembered you went down LoudCty the last time we "met" :wavey:

No new vibrations or anything. I will try this and let you know!

So the other day my TPM alerted me that my back right TPM sensor was reporting low. I checked the pressure, and it turns out that it was just because it was really cold and it threw it off. Nevertheless, I reset the TPM system, and I cannot get the Right Rear TPM to stop alerting that it is low. Any ideas?

Welcome!!!

Can't wait!

My carbon buildup was so bad after having my MINI for only 2 years that it needed to be forcefully blasted out of my engine with a sandblaster-like treatment. The seafoam sounds like a good preventative to that type of necessary maintenance!

So I took my car to MoS today for a check engine light. It is still under the 3yr service deal, so I am not worried about fix costs. They told me that they needed to use tiny walnut shells in a sand-blaster type machine to clean carbon buildup from my engine. Is this similar to Seafoam's application?

Got a wave from someone in a Red MINI with White bonnet stripes in Ashburn today

Would like to talk to you about making an offer for these items. I have a 09 MCS as well, so everything should fit. PM me if you want - Riss Racing catted Down pipe with VIP Custom Design cat back exhaust (on the car, will trade for your OEM turbo back exhaust). This will throw a CEL but both RMW and Alta's tunes clear that up. - Joey Modded (blacked out interior Xenon headlights, on car, will trade for you Xenon headlights). - Out Motoring light brackets - to a good home - 1 pair of PIAA driving lights - lightly used, with covers. - 1 pair of Hella 1000 Black Magic driving lights w/ 100w bulbs, lightly used, with covers. - Wilwood big brake kit (calipers, rotors and SS lines) - swap for your OEM brakes. If you don't have 17" wheels, you'll need them to clear the brakes. My 17" Rota Torque wheels and P235/40R17 Star Specs can be swapped for your OEM wheels if you'd like. They do have TPMS sensors.

I saw it on facebook today! Just shared it on your facebook page!

Looks like a plan!

Hi there! :hello: I was on my way HOME from work, if that makes you feel any better...

Wow! Almost 40 hp and almost 50 torque? Thats pretty amazing...

I know this is a couple weeks old now, but decent deal on a place in Manassas on GroupOn today http://www.groupon.com/r/uu2136904

+1 :top:

Oh, I know it wasn't inherently dumb, I was just so sure for the past year or 2 that it was NOT a turbo, but in fact a super. I hate being wrong :top:

Holy crap.... I feel like a tard now. Oh well.... Have the intake coming in soon. Guess my next step is an exhaust. I wanted to sign up for the tune tomorrow, but then realized it would be silly to get the tune before a intake and exhaust upgrade, I would just need an update in a couple months. Thanks for the quick replies, and for making me feel dumb

So I was talking to a buddy at work and he was mentioning that with cars with a super, that a 15 or 16% supercharger pulley was a very significant performance upgrade. Is there anyone that can give me a quick idea as to what type of install job and/or cost we are looking at for a new pulley for a 09 R56? I looked around on a few MINI parts stores online, and can find a bunch of pulleys for the 1st gen, but not the 2nd gen.

Awwwww comeon... Local, State AND Federal laws? Can't we just follow 2 out of the 3?

Edit: Would love to do this, however, I have a new CAI coming in a couple weeks, and am close to pulling the trigger on a 15% pulley, so it would not be a good idea to pay for a tune now just to throw it way off with a CAI and pulley update. Next time around!

Messaged you Dan, but in case you check this first, I am in for 1:30pm on Friday. R56

From what I remember, its technically the largest non-MINI-organized get-together
