I have updated the OP with an address and directions to the Lorton Reformatory.
-
Just stopped by Location #1 and spoke to the security service there and we'll be allowed to shoot anywhere along the outside of the gates.
-
You guys could come and cheer us on/check it out and determine if you want to do it another time!
I already know I want to do it, but I might be up that way picking up tires that day anyway. We'll see...
-
If I wasn't already spending most of my spare change on the new wheel setup I'd be going to this. Someone take a GoPro!
-
What if you bought a piece of clear bra cut to fit in front of the nozzle where it drips?
-
Maybe make some homemade windshield washer fluid...?

DCMM Photo Shoot
When: March 09, 2013
Time: 8:45 am
Locations: #1 Lorton Prison & #2 Springfield Mall Macy's parking structure
Photographer: Alicyn Drew
PM me if you have and I will provide anyone with my cellphone # if you don't already have it.
This event will be open to all members, future members and guests. Both locations provide adequate room for plenty of cars. Any member/guest that would like to bring along their own camera equipment to help or take their own pictures, please do. Ali can help people that are beginners to photography and we can all work together to get great shots.
If you haven't been to any DCMM meets this would be a great opportunity to get to know the MINI family.
Everyone will meet at Panera then we'll drive as a group to Lorton. During the group drive, I ask that everyone drive safely.

Can't visit, I'm spending this entire weekend to find spots for the photo shoot I have planned for March 9th.
-
I would join in on this, but I still don't have all the power mods that I want to do a dyno.
-
Took advantage of the "snow" day, and snapped a few quick pictures.
Who says a MINI can't plow snow?
-
Did the coil come with bolts or dud you use the stock ones?
With the Screaming Demon you can use the OE bolts. I believe the MSD coil pack requires a different set of bolts. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Update: I drove around for a while after the install to see if it made a difference. I've noticed it no longer has the "bog" during idle like it before the plug change.
-
Just installed this morning.
Screaming Demon Coil pack
NGK Iridium spark plugs
Performance plug wires

I don't know why, but I felt like I had to do something to Gremlin. I decided to wrap the rear brace in black vinyl and pinstripe it to get it to match Gremlins stripes. Had to add a little DCMM love.

Someones license plate is all out of kilter! Looks like it needs a V-8. .. or perhaps, it's just a very heavy mustache.
haha, when I installed the front splitter i forgot to adjust the support rod before I installed it. Had to adjust the license plate to the support rod.
Mike, I like it! Thanks for sharing.Not a problem. When I walked outside and realized there were to BRG's parked next to each other, I had to move mine.
-
Three BRG's parked next to each other!
-
It was great seeing everyone that could make it today. I left around noon, and I picked up a nice set of MINI shoes.
-
I'll be there tomorrow!
-
Give a shout next time you go for a photo shoot- I'm down.. great shots.. i just need my ride back before i'm available....
I'll be starting an event in the near future for a photo shoot. Just keep your eyes on the board. :top:
-
Tomorrow is looking like a great day. Really looking forward to taking the car out. If anyone wants to pay me in person for the Karting day and avoid the paypal fee please feel free. Also, anyone interested in a group drive afterwards or maybe some photoshoots?
I'm not sure if I'll be at the meet tomorrow, I'm supposed to pick up a set of steelies with tires. I'll try and meet them today, so we can go look for some spots to shoot. I'll be setting up a shoot in the near future. Just haven't picked a date yet.
-
Thanks for doing this! You found really great spots!! Now I just need some good weather so I can wash the Subie and Johnny. It will be fun to take them both out for pics together
No problem Hilary, I had fun while doing it. Gave me a reason to get out of the house that day. Haha
Gen 2 part out! =(

I have the same coilovers. They are easily adjusted, but the spring rate isn't great.
