    Late to the thread but did you get the pulley removed? Still need a tool?
  2. Drillslinger
    Please, for the love of all that is MINI, SOMEONE save these CocoMats!!

    If it was DB R53 then yup, that's my baby :top: She popped a spark plug (and the threads went with it) on the 6th and it's been an "adventure" since Can't wait to pick her back up tomorrow, Alberto's been spending a lot of time with her and it's time she came home

    Dang it, I haven't even picked DB up yet and y'all already have me planning to return, lol :laugh:

    Thanks, just gotta figure out the logistics ;-) my boss messed up his arm so I've been covering down for him :-( I'll take a look at the calendar tomorrow to see what we can work out. Thx

    Just noticed that mine was shot (while searching the engine bay for a "lost" spark plug :banghead:). PM sent :top:

    Apparently we already had enough in another thread (http://dcmetrominis.org/forum/topic/2940-feeler-rmw-tuning-party/) but had problems getting it coordinated. Then Jan's Dad passed and I'm not sure if he's back to work yet or not.

    That's the beautiful thing about this stage 2, Chad assures me that even though the valves are bigger they're only slightly larger than std (+0.5mm Intake/+1.0mm Exhaust IIRC) so a tune is not necessary. Naturally, if we can get Jan over here in the Spring a tune would give me better gains but I shouldn't have any problems until then :motor:

    Well, we bit the bullet and ordered a MegaMini stage 2 head. Gonna have the OE one rebuilt and if it's in good condition will try to find someone who needs one. Thanks for the help/advice!

    Hmm, an email might be in order then. PTuning was going to send it to their machine shop but.. what was a rough cost for the P&P?
  11. Drillslinger
    Had the Brisk plugs in. She's an R53 with 80k miles. Hoping that the repair will take better by having machine shop do it with head off. Will try to get it ported/polished at same time.

    This happened to me Thursday morning :-( I know it wasn't lack of spinach as I torque mine to 20-22 ft lbs (I blame the cold winter (cold/heat cycles)). Taking her in to PTuning next week so they can send it out to a machine shop for a look/quote. Anyone have experience with repair vs replace? Chad's got me covered if I have to replace the head but... yikes!
  13. Drillslinger
    SO disappointed we missed this Pics so far look like y'all had a great time :top:
  14. Drillslinger
    Ahh, got it. Thanks. I probably don't see it on my phone so I'll check today from a PC. Thanks again.
  15. Drillslinger
    Spoke with the Frau about this and it looks like we're in for the run but lunch may be pushing our luck with the kids and naps. Just gave to register (where? Facebook?) and there's a small matter of reinstalling some back seats ;-)
  16. Drillslinger
    I get that a lot too. I wave but either get odd looks or else ignored :-(
  17. Drillslinger
    Hmm, I guess that would make sense, lol. Never mind then. I DID see an orange(ish) classic ?Clubman? Heading East on 50 in Arlington yesterday though :-)
  18. Drillslinger
    Hey IndieCooper, is the Duck orange? If so, I spotted you on 50 yesterday morning but I was in far right lane and couldn't get a visual to wave until you slipped past me behind a truck. So... Belated wave :-)
  19. Drillslinger
    Ok, 2 questions: 1, are they still available and of so, 2... Is there ANY way they'd work in an R53? $30 for Coco Mats is a GREAT deal!
  20. Drillslinger
    THIS is why the Frau told me not to remove the back seats, lol.
  21. Drillslinger
    Great picnic! Thanks to those who made it possible :top: It was nice to meet some of y'all and next time I'll try to be a little less awkward and actually introduce myself a bit better :wavey:
  22. Drillslinger
    Any grilles or brackets with it or just the skin? Thanks :top:
  23. Drillslinger
    Someone with a little more experience may want to chime in but that makes me think it's either a leak in the system (have you checked the pressure?) or the compressor isn't working right (worn seals, etc). My AC was giving me problems a few months ago and it wasn't until I got one of those $40 recharge kits that I discovered the condenser leak.
  24. Drillslinger
    Is your radiator fan running at idle with the AC on? Have you tested the AC while driving? My low speed fan is shot so I only get cold AC when driving.
  25. Drillslinger
    Just been through the whole gamut of R53 AC troubleshooting (AFAIK ) What are the symptoms?
