  1. yeah...and sitting in a scrap metal pile. Trust me you don't want it.
  2. Thanks again Rich. It was a nice, quiet drive back. So good to be able to hear stuff again...like the radio, and my own thoughts. Mini even feels like it's got a bit more pep? :rock:
  3. Just wanted to throw a quick shout out to Rich today for helping me get the brakes done. Turns out it was a lot less work than my garage told me I needed. Saved me a fortune in what the garage would've needlessly done. Rich- you're just an awesome dude. Jealous of the garage, tools, and toys! What took you about an hour would've taken me an entire day. Thanks again! Thanks Ali for recommending I contact Rich. And thanks to the forum members that PM'd me and offered help, really do appreciate the reach out!
  4. Appreciate the support gents! Correct- replacing calipers, rotors, and pads. Right rear caliper is "stuck"; right rear wheel won't spin freely. Garage recommended replacing everything...on both sides. At about 80k miles...I guess it's about time. Thank God someone on NAM was getting rid of his barely used, stock brake set up. I was able to snag it in the nick of time. If not for that, my mini would've sat for a looonnnggg time. I have no problem dropping money on go fast bits. I have a very hard time dropping money on the boring necessary stuff lol. Kinda backwards isn't it? It's also why I'm constantly in trouble with the mrs. I've reached out to Rich...waiting to hear back. Thanks again!
  5. Hi all, Wondering if there's anybody local who could help me change out my rear brakes. We're talking all the way to the calipers. I've got the parts on hand...I just don't have the tools (vacuum bleeder, caliper tool)...nor comfort level to attempt myself. Anyway, thought I'd reach out here first before handing over my monies to a shop. Will definitely pay for services as well as feed you! As a frame of reference, my "go-to" garage quoted me about $200 for labor. I'm hoping to save a couple bucks from that figure. Thank you! Ty
  6. that looks awesome man! love the unique design. I agree with orange...but the red looks killer too. My only concern is when the red fades...then you've got pink!
  7. Dan- are you going to the meet and greet on the 21st? If you've still got the dipstick by then I'll come by and take it off your hands. haha, maybe start a trend that you and I exchange parts at every meet and greet lol. First come first serve though of course, no worries if someone takes this off your hands first.
  8. Chris- I finally got that tune today. I opted out of the SPS switch and just had map b loaded. Thanks again :top: As far as an initial review I promised: so far the most noticeable difference was on the highway for me. Merging onto the hwy was effortless; may or may not have reached close to 90 easy. scary easy. Had no idea I was going that fast until I looked down lol. This is both a good and bad thing. Need to be extra careful in VA. Passing is cake now. What I used to have to down shift for...I can just step on the gas a little bit more and achieve the same power. If I do down shift...I can go from 60-80 in a snap. All in all, happy with the tune and money spent. I'd put this right up there with the RSB as far as 'must do' mods. Scott's a super cool dude too, awesome customer service. Ironically enough, what pushed me over the edge to finally getting the tune was he said I could get the "burbles" tuned in somehow. Well...no burbles haha, oh well, still love it. I owe you some tasty adult beverages brotha!
  9. Good to hear they're making progress brother. My first instinct would be to see if Way Motor works has one...or ebay. and then replace that sucker yourself!!
  10. damn man, sorry to hear that. but I'm jealous of your jeep too. :top:
