1975_mini Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 What projects/ prep is everyone got going. Roxy is getting new rubber today. Pilot sport a/s 3+ a little earlier than planned thanks to a pothole on the BW pkwy. At least it wasn’t the day before leaving for the dragon like last year. This pop a tire tradition is one I would really like to not continue next year. I guess a might as well to the new JCW coilovers while it’s on jack stands and the wheels are off. And a not so happy Watson is stuck out in the rain. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

SneakyBaron Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Oil change, alignment, possibly decat and resonator if there is time and money. Wash and wax. Hopefully another part that's been a huge pain to find and get a hold of.

I will bring the red dash and we can install it one lazy afternoon at the cabin and swap the door cards. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

The JCW exhaust I had on Helljumper didn't have the second one and I passed emissions with it that way, had it on for 3 years so I know I had to have it inspected at least once. 1

Good to know, I keep hearing both ways. Guess I am good for that mod now. You are making me what to go pick up a piece of exhaust tube and cut it out right now. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

Is the roof graphic a surprise, do we get a hint? No, not really. It was more an eye roll about mounting the new tires on the existing wheels and then offering to give me the wheels for my birthday. Nope, no hints! 1
