All it’s missing is another toilet opposite and facing the existing toilet.

Quoting is giving server errors. In response to Dan: Yeah even with the stage 1 APR tune my GTI clutch was good for 167k miles or whatever it had when I traded it in. May be an issue one day, but for now it’s not something I need to worry about. Cabin air filter does look like to was missed in the r...

First Story of 2024: A few weeks ago, I had a closing with an unmarried couple (this is an important piece of info). Most lenders have you sign a name affidavit at closing. It's a pretty simple document that list all the variations of your name that came back on your credit report. It's kinda funny...

My little baby lungs can’t handle anything except for the 75° humidified air coming out of my CPAP.

1. When were the brakes last done and what shape are they in? No info on brake pad/rotor changes. I do need to go do a visual inspection on them. They grab well and don't have any noises, grinding, or shimmying while braking. 2. When was the oil last changed? Oil was last changed 9/21/2023 at 74,61...

Hahahha 100%. I already started getting looks getting out of the car when I went to go grab groceries last night

i always seem to get those comments when i get out the miata.

Ha I didn’t even think about that when you picked the Miata up.

Congrats. I feel like this thread is just a happier version of this: https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExempscXQ3cjdvY2gxbjFmNHQxb3R5bzg3eW9semRvMnV0YTRjbDVpbSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Da1rDgu0Mo2di/giphy.gif Hahahha 100%.

So... get ready for a check list. 1. When were the brakes last done and what shape are they in? 2. When was the oil last changed? 3. When was the coolant changed? 4. How is the brake fluid looking? 5. How old is that clutch? 6. How old are these tires ? 1. When were the brakes last done and what sh...

Was able to snag an appointment at the DMV today to get this thing titled and registered out here. Need to swing by our emissions testing site first, but should all be a smooth process.

I'm sure BROla offers a nice exhaust. Their touring style with full mufflers usually offer a pretty deep tone but exhausts are very expensive now. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mini-catback-exhaust-borla-140120#fitment I use Green Filter, as do a lot of people I saw at Grid Life running on the t...

These seem popular but … exhaust sounds are a very personal choice

Damn.. that does sound good in the video, and under $350 is Definitely more likely to do this than a $1400 BROla

Oh, thanks for the tip. Any of those style reusable filters you recommend? Or do you stick with the disposable ones generally? What exhaust did you swap in? And how was the sound and volume? Edit: I was just going to drop a K&N filter in, wasn’t going to do their “cold air intake”. Just stick t...

Is there a jcw steering wheel, shifter, and ebrake for this year? That’d be

Oh, great suggestion! I’ll dig around and see when they started offering the JCW options.

I did ask him about a K&N filter with the mats 👀 I’m sure that will turn into a full intake at some point. I’ve never modified an exhaust before.. this one sounds great, so I don’t see a need as of now.. if I could find something that made it even deeper without being too much louder I’d be int...

Thank you sir!

:fuckyeah: I love this thing! Glad you’re enjoying so far. Any thoughts on exhaust or intake? I know I’m a ricer :lolol: but these sound so cool with the supercharger. Amir has much available :hue: I’m :excited: for some 5/7 content out of this thing! I did ask him about a K&N filter with the m...

Gonna grab some of the custom fit WeatherTech mat’s to keep the inside nice and clear of all the mud from the rain up here. Reached out to our old pal Amir about the hook up on those since he’s a distributor for them.

Also, no more of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBTcPwqXlCo Hahah exactly. Michelle does in-person/in-office session for her clients on Monday and Friday. So having this today was perfect as I was able to follow her to the doctors office for our scans then drive myself home afterwards whil...

Thanks guys! Zero buyers remorse thus far. Beyond the few minor cosmetic issues, and the completely lack of tech, you’d never know this thing was 21 years old. I’m enjoying the low tech though. No obnoxious beeps or buzzes nannying you as you drive. Bluetooth will be a welcome addition at some point...

Sweet! Interesting that the lights go up with the hood vs my gen. What’s the dildo with the crank pulley ? It separates and grenades the belt ? :yesth: Although the more I read, the more it seems like forum bros are just forum bro-ing and blowing things out of proportion. “It happened to me, so it ...

The rep wants me to give him another shot. They don't want to break trim which is why the fender badges weren't removed. Because apparently I'd be paying for replacements if they break it? So, taking it to a professional detailer and they don't trust themselves to remove this stuff? :really: Bubble...

Here she is. 2003 Mini Cooper S. Backstory on the acquisition and the :dill: are in the Crangslist thread for anybody interested. I won't bore you with repeating that here, but the TL;DR is 73k miles, two previous owners both older women, first owner bought and maintained the car at Mini of Camarill...

Honestly? If I sell, it's not getting replaced right away. I'd be ditching the hooptie and replacing it with a nicer daily. Long-term, though, I'm just not interested in the MK8 at all. :( There's Elantra N for $33k. My brother loves his and the refreshed 2024 looks great. Glad to see they got rid ...

You got it my man! Heading to week 20 anatomy scan this morning, I’ll post some up after that! That one is pretty exciting unlike all the other ones. I think it was my fav check in. Also start a new thread perhaps :) on the car Yeah man I’m so pumped to hear her heartbeat this morning and get a mor...

:yesth: Feels great. Shifter is 100x better than I expected. Figured it’d be a little sloppy feeling like the MKVI was, but it’s surprisingly crisp. This is going to be an interesting journey my dude. I’m here for it. Post up more pics including the inside and the engine when you get a chance You g...
