MINI Garage Day - Feb 11
MINI Garage Day - Feb 11
MINI shop day at MiniDave's minishop!
So far we have a few jobs lined up to do....
1) Minicoopers43.........................supercharger oil, oil leaks, motor mounts etc.
2) Minimax.................................trailer hitch
3) UltraQuick..............................pulley
4) imabyter................................pulley
Be sure you get all your parts ordered and in place before that date! And don't forget we have a club member - sh944 (Scott Harrison) - who can supply parts for our cars at wholesale prices, send him a PM or give him a call and see what he can do for you. Ultraquick, that Cravenspeed pulley was extrememly well made and easy to install, I'd highly recommend you go with that one. Also a second thumbsup for the pulley kit from Way Motor Works.
If anyone else needs to get something done, now's the time to plan for it, just post in this thread.
Also attending to lend a hand
1) Boxer
2) Davester
3) MiniX2
4) eronning
5) Blugoose
6) Dimini
Come prepared for the cold, it's supposed to be in the low single digits Friday night!
9 am for those who haven't been here before....Remember to use the garage back door, around the side from the driveway, don't ring the doorbell!

Re: MINI Garage Day - Feb 11
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

Re: MINI Garage Day - Feb 11
Yes new belt and plugs are necessary with a pulley, here is a link to the complete kit. They are very good with answering an questions you have on the phone.

Re: MINI Garage Day - Feb 11
I'll be there. I think the two items I need to perform are coolent change and manual transmission fluid change. No hurry on either of these. They can wait till later in the spring.

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.

My nephew-in-law (Bluelighting) decided he would wait until Spring to have the brakes replaced, so the rear brakes are off the table. I will still be there to score a sweet roll

Re: MINI Garage Day - Feb 11
Minicoopers43, since you're doing the most work on your car, which stall do you want, the left or right?
Let me know so I can get a few things moved out of the way.
