Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Yes, you'll get a packet at the door, so to speak - that's why we try to be there when the gates open so we can get our cars ready get thru tech and get a spot set up in the paddock. Which group are you running in? I guess they'll be determining run groups once we get there, maybe depending on the ...

I did not get a drivers packet when I signed up, only an entry ticket. I saw an information sheet, but nothing like a tech sheet, or driver information packet. I did not attend any events last year, but in years past, we signed up, provided track experience info and set our run groups in advance. Ho...

Got the day off work, gonna put the summer tires on this weekend. I have a flush of Motul RBF from last August, stoptech pads, so I think I am good to go. I'll be driving the Subaru WRX instead of Luna this trip. I'll get Luna out to the track sometime this summer, but I need to learn how to drive t...

I've had those tires on my old ///M3 and loved them. They get a little noisy after about 3/4 tread is gone, but great wet and dry handling. You will be happy.

I think at this point we were al talking about Dimini's shoes! The Dude has bad taste in shoes, seriously! But he knows a good cinnamon roll--and there were plenty on hand. Some folks attend these garage days to accomplish something practical, like getting new brakes installed--but for the weird fo...

Awesome day at Mini Dave's! Chris and I got pulleys installed despite ourselves, and much thanks to Dave for expertise, and always the right tool for the moment. Thanks to all. Our cooper s is now an ss! I wish I'd taken more pictures, but was pretty filthy most of the day. I'll pull the couple from...

I'll be there then.
I told Carole that since we are working on her car, she needed to provide the treats. So she is making homemade cinnamon rolls for the gang. I'll pull them out of the oven right before I head out.

Right now they're calling for 14°Friday night and a high of 31° on Saturday!

I have all my parts in hand, but I have no problem waiting for a warmer day, but I will go with the flow.

I'll throw an extra floor jack, some stands and tools in the boot just in case. 15% pulley kit is ordered and on the way.

Call it the price of attendance!

I can handle that (although would more likely be Dunkins or Lamar's)

I was getting ready to order a supercharger pulley, will I also need to order a replacement drive belt?

If I get this installed that day or not, I'd like to come by, help, watch, get in the way, whatever. I have a lot of experience twisting wrenches, just not so much on the MINI

Very cool. Great choices in color and striping.

Enjoy

Anybody know how to hardwire a radar detector? Marcos from Baron said to use pins # 1 & 5 on the OBD buy don't know what kind of pins to use or trying to get to the wires--brown for ground and green for switched on/off. We should be able to figure that out with a test light, once you know which...

Nice looking ride, Congrats!

I just changed mine for the first time 2 weeks ago. I tried it 3 weeks ago, but the drain plug was already stripped, so I waited until I could get a new one. It took a 2 foot long breaker bar to get my drain lug loose, and same with the filter canister. I don't know what gorilla at the Quaker State ...

Wow, nice turnout tonight. Carole and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. I think we are going to like it here

Thanks to everyone for your hospitality

We are new to the MINI world and are hoping to make this event and meet some of the other enthusiasts. We are members of a couple other car clubs and look forward to being active here.
