    NCC is hosting the fifth and FINAL autocross event of their 2021 season on October 2nd on the Washington Circuit at Summit Point Motorsports Park. Registration is open through September 30th. The cost is $35 for the morning or afternoon session and $55 for both. This year they are requiring all participants be members of the BMWCCA (NCC is the local chapter). In-car instruction is back, along with ride-alongs and loaner helmets. We've had a few MINIs out at each 2021 event, and it's a great way to meet other MINI drivers and test the limits of your MINI's handling. Let me know if you have any questions or if you'll be there!

  2. You have the upgraded JCW suspension, those are really good springs, keeping your springs and replacing the stunts with koni yellows is a very cost effective and great handling solution. This does not let you adjust ride height it would be what you have now. This is the setup that Colin has run for years, if that helps rate the handling. If you want to adjust ride height then go with an adjustable coil over setup KW has a few variants depending on how much adjustability you want. Happy to talk more about it at the meeting.
  3. I might have been to 1836 a time or two, Good spot definitely worth a stop!!!
  4. Looks great Craig. Simple plug and play? Is the lower resistance causing and issues with "bulb out" lights?

  7. You mentioned you do not plan on putting a lot of mileage on the MINI. So would you really get that much service. Like you said you are paying for the last 4 years. If you are doing 10k a year that’s 4 oil changes ($100 ea), likely one brake job ($600ish), a few air/cabin filters($200). So let’s call it a $1000 in service. if it’s a manual and you are hard on the clutch and it is absolutely worth it. One clutch job pays for it. otherwise you have to be putting miles on it to see the value. just my two cents
  8. I use this product from chemical guys and have been happy with it.
  9. Does the pedal feel very stiff or and easy push? GTPeace is where I had mine replaced. Way better prices then dealer, while still getting MINI certified techs.
