Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Were going as well (max and nancy). We don't have facebook. We will be camping just north of town. See you guys down there.


max

I have one. I would be interested in participating. It has the paint off as well. I have some touch up paint from Baron but have never worked on it.


Max

Ha, I think that mug likes you more than me. Sorry for rushing out, my wife was eager for me to return home. Can I pick it up at the next garage day?

MiniMax

wow, great response. Yes the 19th of July would work. MiniDave has a much better set up than me. (if your still offering Dave). I think it would be best to have it there as I lack tools and the lift. I know there is a lot of opinion on which brake fluid to use, any specific recommendations. MiniMax

I'm in need of a brake fluid flush. I've never done one before but it looks pretty straightforward. I'll volunteer my garage (worked out great last time) if no one else can do it. I'm thinking some time later this month. Let me know if anyone else want to join or help out.


MiniMax

What a beautiful day. Thanks to everyone that stopped by to help me with my brakes. They were mushy when I first went out, but feel great after I bedded them. We talked about having a detailing day sometime soon. I would volunteer for that as well if people are interested.

Papa28,
I'm hosting the garage day this month. (4/12/14). PM me for directions and address. I'm going to do my rotors and pads.


MiniMax

MiniDave, I'l PM you about picking up tools on Friday if that works for you. Everyone is welcome to join. PM me for address and directions. I can promise donuts but I'm not the most experienced with car repair and I don't have every tool known to man (so bring your own if you have them). I'm thinkin...

I'll provide the space (unless someone else has a more suitable garage). I have a set of ramps, 4 stands, a floor jack, some tools and a pear tree. I need to do my front and rear brakes and maybe an oil change. (someone can spill oil on my driveway for a change). I was thinking about 4/12/14 at 9:00...

I just happened go to Baron this afternoon and I saw the F56S sitting there. I talked to Isaac and took me out for a short drive. (he didn't let me drive as...

nancy and I will come (if it's not too late to show up). I always love donuts.


MiniMax

I like this one as well. I may see if I can turn it into a decal. I think I can copy it over. I've never had one of my posts see this much interest. I'll try to bring some of the decals to the next garage day (do we have one planned anytime soon?)


MiniMax

This is version 2.0.
Minimax

I may be able to make something like that. Do you know what font it is in? I have a machine that can cut vinyl (its my wife's craft cutter). I'll see what I can do.

MiniMax

I was talking with a buddy of mine and he asked me a ? I didn't know the answer for. Is the mini hand brake linked directly to the back wheels or the transmission? We were talking about how it is more difficult to power slide in a mini (front wheel drive cars in general, he's a corvette guy). He war...

I bought my wife a Silhouette Cameo craft cutter for her cake making but I have been having some fun with making vinyl stickers for my clubby. I thought it would be great to have our KC club with custom decals. I made a very simple one (see pics below) but would like to get ideas from the group. I c...

I just had a very similar situation and Baron found a crack in my thermostat housing. $460 later, its all fixed. Good thing I have the extended warranty.


Minimax

I'm going to try to make it with my kids. (at least as many as i can fit in my clubman).

Minimax

I am due to replace my front rotors/pads in the spring but just changed my rear pads last fall and have (according to the car) 23,000 more miles on the rears. I have not measured the rotors (I can feel a lip and I have 60,000 miles on the rotors) but I'm not sure if I should change both front and ba...

That's were I left that mug. Dave, are you going to the Toys for Tots event next month? I think I will join the group there. Can you bring it then? BTW, new plugs are great. Runs smooth.


MiniMax

I got my new plugs in the mail and they need a specific socket to place them. Dave, I'm assuming you have the necessary tools. Please let me know if you don't and I will purchase that as well.

MiniMax

I'm due for some spark plugs. I just wanted to add that I rotated my own wheels today and I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for MiniDave and the whole group for having these garage days. I know rotating wheels isn't very hard but this group gave me knowledge and most of all, confidence, to do...

Nancy and I went to this movie last night. Fantastic movie. Favorite line from movie " the only thing boys like more than girls is their cars". I highly recommend anyone to go see it (and take their spouse). Nancy loved the story.

Minimax

I saw the posts listed above. It's in to Baron as I type this. I will see what they find.

The CEL came on today and with my code reader came up with p115c. The car has been running great. No issues with idling or acceleration. I have been scouring the internet (and this forum as well) and have found all kinds of possibilities but no definitive answer. Interestingly, this CEL came on last...
