Re: November Shop Day - 16th
Dave, just saw your note about the size of the group. I have engine oil, tranny oil, and a catback on their way...none of which may get here in time and all of which I can do at home. I will show up and if I can get tranny fluid changed, I will be happy. I can also just help out. My main goal was to...

Re: November Shop Day - 16th
Oh snap! As a new guy, I am impressed with the expected turnout. I don't see many MINIs over my way. Didn't know that many were around and active in KC
And that's a long list for donuts

Re: November Shop Day - 16th?
Minidave, you are talking about engine oil right? Not trans. Re:filters, yes - engine oil. The MTL 90 is manual transmission fluid, someone was saying they were going to go buy some to change their tranny oil - if so I could save them the trouble as I have three new unopened bottles. 'Twas me. I wa...

Re: November Shop Day - 16th?
Yeah I was planning on Redline. I gotta go shopping for it. I have the getrag so I'll need 3 bottles.
Not sure if I have the socket or not. Will do some digging.

Re: CAI
For those who had them and took them off, why? Too much noise, or............? I bought mine used to try it out. For the R56, the oiled filter does bother me a bit for longevity of the MAF as the filter is bolted onto the MAF. The noise is spectacular! I will miss that. I will tap the throttle just...

Re: November Shop Day - 16th?
Do you all change your (manual) tranny fluid? I'm tempted to give mine a swap out. I don't know how many shifts the previous owner missed. :shock: Yes. I did, just make sure the oil filter gasket doesn't break and it's on tight or you will have an oil spill reminiscent of the Exxon Valdez. Filter g...

Re: November Shop Day - 16th?
I may scratch the pipe for now. May order a catback. Anyone's have experience with CNT racing? They are super cheap by comparison.
And I can still be the donut man. Krispy kreme or Lamar's? Or loaf of day old bread cause I'm cheap?

Re: CAI
I have the r56s one on my 2010. Fitment is ok. I would prefer a different filter if I re-did it. Sounds of the diverter valve always make me smile. In august, my intake temps stayed consistently low. Peaks were about 30°F lower than stock in back to back testing. Cooler temps may not matter as much....

Re: November Shop Day - 16th?
Krispy Kremes?!?! This is Lamar's Country! I'll see if the wife will let me loose for a bit on the 16th. I'd be interested in a flanged pipe to go in place of 2nd cat/resonator and corresponding flanges on the stock exhaust. Probably not a saturday thing but will be looking for someone/somewhere to ...

Re: November Shop Day - 16th?
Hey all, new member here. I'd be interested in joining up just to meet a few other MINI owners. I've had my 2010 MCS for 3.5 months now. Done a few small things to it so far but have played around with previous cars from a crawlin' Jeep to a Talon Tsi Awd with larger turbo/injectors/gmmaft/etc. If y...
