I'll take the 17" crown spokes off your hands. -
Welcome, we look forward to meeting you at MTTB

They remove the front end to replace the radiator as opposed to putting it into service mode. The labor is killed on anything involving the front end of the motor since it is all packed in there. Just ball parking it Flush $150ish new radiator 400ish and about $800 in labor and the rest shop fees. Though if they are replacing the radiator a flush would be implied as you would have to refill and bleed the system. I believe there is a class action on the thermostat you may want to look into, a quick google search will pull it up. Why are the saying new radiator are you having over heating issues?

Minis Take the Beltway 9 - Time and Start Location of Event
1975_mini replied to ebyrd's question in Frequently Asked Questions
Sorry, Craig told me is messed up in the port over. I will correct today. -
I did not see a vehicle cap in the rules, that would be a question when registering, if they don't do we want to set one as wranging cars (staging, spacing during the event, etc...) can get over welming. I think it was 10 or 12 for the manassas one, I don't think we should go much over that. Who is taking the lead this year?
-
Craig said, he will be adding a redirect in the near furture, but I will let him expand on that.

Looking for some feed back, I am considering removing the bonnet and boot stripes and instead adding the JCW rocker panel graphics. I have included photos with the graphics in place. First the white will only be in the JCW logo the best in just the backing. The logo near the rear tire is the factory intended install, but I kind of feel the graphic looks backwards that way carding forward. The second photo is the graphic reversed with the jcw by the front the graphic narrowing towards the back. The only downside to this way is the logo would fall on the door seem and spilt when the door is open. Not that big a deal. Map my options are: -leaving it as is (stripes, no side graphic) - factory side (no stripes, logo to rear) - reverse side (no stripes, logo to front) look forward to hearing everyone input, I am evenly split between the 3 at the moment.

You have to hate when being an adult gets in the way of MINI fun

For those that are torn between the MINI track event and the annual meeting you can do both!! The Moco time slot is from 0900 to 1130 and summit point is only an hour and a have from the restaurant. The are 12 spots left on their time window to sign up. Here is the link https://miniofmontgomerycounty.themi...CrossChallenge Hope to see you there. Brandy and I will be there. The other dealers still have opening as well but would make you miss out on free food. PMoA still has 10 spots in the 1130 to 1400 window Sterling has 36 spots still open!! You might get the track to yourself from 1430 to 1700.

R56/R57 Serpentine belt replacement
1975_mini replied to scottt's topic in Maintenance & Modifications
I found this thread on another MINI forum, about ten post down in the thread is step by step instruction with key pictures. Unlike a Gen 1 the Gen 2 does not require a special tool to release the tension. Any pry bar or equivalent will do the job. Does not look like a difficult task, if you have basic mechanic skills. Hope this helps https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/how-to/195227-r56-serpentine-belt-replacement.html
