Front Strut

I had to cut away some of the the under hood liner to get the front bar to fit right. Me and ray test fitted the bar once at work and the hood lifted up a little. Now that i cut away some of the liner, it fits soooo much better!

i quoted myself.. hahaha
YAY!
Scrappy is half lowered! We got the front H&Rs in!
We tore apart the rear so we can do it tommorw. Its to late to run the air compressor so we had to call it a night.
Ray u where right, the front Driver side was the hard one. But it only took us about 10 mins to pull it a part. The front passenger side just slid right out. and so did the rears.
AND to top it off Sergio aready scraped the front bummer when he was backing the mini into the drive way to start on the rears. Im not going to be as low as yours, but i can scrap now!
Chicks love scrappy. We too him down PCH today to do some sight seeing and this chick in a truck next to us yelled out to me "I love your car" anf gave me a thumbs up :)
OOO and he's got a sexy negitive camber rear end now ... love that camber

Scrappy had a very eventfull weekend (thanks to Wes and Kellie)
- Rear Sway bar is in!!!!!
- Rear wiper deleted!!!
- Stock tires are on!! Read this thread to know why (http://www.motoringunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3272)
- Clutch is back to nornal ?!?!?!
About the clutch
On our way up the 18 highway, I was in fourth gear and i need to down shift to third. I put my foot on the clutch, pulled it out of 4th, and couldnt get it in to any gear!!! The petel sunk in to the floor. OMG,,, what the Hell happend!
So i took my foot off the clutch and put it back in and then i could shove it in to 3rd. WHY?!? I can shift now but my gears became rather tight and hard to get it. they stoped being smooth. SO i parked the car over night and the morning the clutch felt stiffer again, gears still felt ruff, but it was drive able.
As we kept diveing the home, the clutch got better and better. Now its back to normal again..
Larry said it sounded like my slave-cyclinder might be going
after taking it to the dealer..
And the verdict is......
Bad Slave cylinder!!!!!!!
Now i got to leave the car here over night and hopefully it will be done tommorw.

07-28-2007, 01:25 PM
- Exhuste is finaly on!!!!
- Alinement is all good now!!!

I bought the short shifter I've been eye'ing for the past month. I Duno if i'll keep that knob for long since i have the hott on i wanted already. I picked up the full kit , Short shifter, knob, and Shift Well Cover.
I really like the look of the set up, I saw it inthe photos that Griff posted a while back. I cant wait to get it.
http://www.cravenspeed.com/products_pictures/QSK1Big.jpg
The Craven Speed quick shift kit is a complete overhaul of your current MINI setup. Take this opportunity to make some Marvelous additions to your super cooper. We’ll hook you up with the Rod o' Steel Adjustable Shifter with shape shifting abilities, and its trusty gadget laden sidekick the Shift Well Cover, and you won’t soon forget the power punch of their Wonder Knob.
The Craven Speed adjustable short shifter allows you the option to adjust the throw from 0% to 45% shorter than stock. This adjustment can be made quickly and easily, while you are in the car! Just grab the collar and twist it loose. While its open, move the shifter to the length you desire then tighten it up again. No tools required! The shift rod moves within the housing of the fulcrum, so when you shorten the length in the car by up to 1 inch you lengthen the shaft below the fulcrum allowing for a shorter shift. The advantages of a shorter throw are well documented, but the leverage required by the driver is increased as the throw is shortened. Now you will not have to give that kind of effort during a traffic jam. This quality part is hybrid designed and CNC machined from 1144 "stresspruf", black oxide steel and 6061 Aluminum. The Craven Speed aluminum Shift Well Cover works well in the Mini both mechanically and aesthetically. This easy to install, and easy to clean component will look great in either brushed aluminum or anodized black, and coming soon, chrome to match your factory chrome package. (The chromes are in short supply and are hand chrome polished to ensure the same quality we provide in our parts. You can reserve one today so you are one of the first and few to receive one.) This non-boot is the perfect complement to the Craven Speed Short Shifter. The Shift Well Cover allows the driver to adjust the shift throw without having to feel around inside the boot, and also reveals the great looks of the anodized shifter main pivot.
The Craven Speed Shift Knob it lathe crafted, by our master technician, out of 6061 aluminum. Just like every one of our products, each knob is made carefully and is hand inspected for defects. We put 3 comfort rings on it, which make the knob natural to hold in many positions. The rings also allow you to shift after you car has become too hot or cold. You’ll find that it can only be described as especially ergonomically excellent.
Also, I cancelled my order on the Promini controll arms, they are still on back order and they offered me their other thicker arms, for the same deal since i've been waiting for a long time.

Scrappy is Rattle free!
As some may know and have heard, the resonator on the magnaflow went bad and started with a little rattle. but over the past month, it grew louder and well i had enough of the sound. So i took the car in to the same muffler guy that installed it and had him whack off the resonator and replace it with pipe.. lol
Scrappy doesn't sound like he has a penny in the exhaust any more. AND its no louder than before... and the guy only did it for $30 bucks!

DIY Weekend!!!
YAY! ME!!
I've been at wes' and Kellies (http://www.motoringunderground.com/forum/member.php?u=443) all day and we ripped out head lights out.
My head lights have been "joey" modded and are back on the car. Its fun to bake your head lights.. lol
http://www.socaleuro.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1481&stc=1&d=1185653902
FYI- a friend of mine did them on his car and he told me how to do them.. this is his car.. the sexies mini in the world (http://rides.superstreetonline.com/ride/1000861/brain10/2005/mini/cooper/index.html)
With my head lights, I found a "weak spot" where the headlight washer was, not a glue weak spot, it was a place where i could get a screwdriver/ flat blade between the lens and the houseing, I used a flat peice of metel and a screwdrivers to keep open what i already pulled apart, I just worked my way around the light. I didnt have to bake them to get them apart, I did bake them to put them back together so that they would seal right.
Kellies, head lights have a glass piece that looks like a half of a circle, that was conected to the center crome houseing. That had to be removed from her's

That's a pretty cool car. I like the mods and stuff, tastefully done :tup:.
I'm just wondering, and I know you're a girl, but for guys. With the most respect, how does one drive one and not appear gay? I'd sport one, just not in California.

u make it loud and mean looking!! i have lots of stright guy friends that have one...most of them track or race theirs because they know what these little cars can do, and looking behind the "ghey" factor takes a pretty secure with himself kindof guy.
just like most guys would sport a miata if it were all SCCA'd out.
Big difference between having harnesses laying in your seat, or a Loso Opso

Had a mishap on the way to work today. I hear and felt some thing fall from my engine and hit the under side of the mini. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw nothing and kept going. Then as traffic started to slow and i down shifted the whole engine just jerked really hard. As i shifted in to 1st and 2nd, it would jerk again. Well i was 29 miles almost to work and 49 miles from home. SO i called up Renner and drove scrappy slowly to the shop. I was waiting for the bad news that a motor mount broke and that i would have to leave him there over night untill they got the part...
BUT the motor mounts where still intact, the bolt just fell out of it!!! omg, thank you lord for making it an easy and cheap fix! and thanks to Ivo for saving my butt again!

scrappy is rolling getto for the next few days.
I took him to get an alignment & have his tires rotated and ballanced. As they took two of the wheels off, we discovered two huge spilits in the side walls :(. The place i go to doesnt have the wheels i have so they have to order them. And since i have to bent wheels i had them taken off to get fixed since i have to roll with my stocks wheels on the front while i wait for the new tires to come it, i thought i might as well get the two bent wheels fixed. He looks so getto with the stocks on the front and those "s" lite wheels are soooo heavy!
