Re: October Shop Day
Hey Dave, we're doing the sway bar but I was curious since the car will be off the ground if we could also do the Helix short shift?

Re: October Shop Day
Sorry I can't make it this Saturday, I'm headed up to K-State for a visit.
I look forward to next time. Meanwhile, I'm making two lists: 60,000 mile maintenance items, and favorite doughnut toppings.

Re: October Shop Day
Since we are doing the short shift and sway bar, I was thinking while I'm at it I may rotate the tires if needed since the car will already be off the ground.

Re: October Shop Day
Ok, I found out that I don't have to be on the K-State bus until 3 pm, so I'm in. I'm replacing the belt and reducing the pulley and doing plugs (I just ordered the basic Way Motor Works package).
Any help from a previous pulley pull party participant is appreciated!
Thanks.

Re: October Shop Day
What is the consensus on replacing plug wires when you replace plugs? Overkill?
I'm not planning on doing plug wires, unless there is some reason why I should....

Re: October Shop Day
Overkill. The one thing you should do (and we will) is clean the contacts where the wires plug into the coil, that will do as much for the car as anything.

Re: October Shop Day
Unfortunately, I am unable to make it. Realized I had a college visit on Saturday morning. Would stop by after but I have homecoming after...
See you all at the next one!

Re: October Shop Day
I hate to say this but my dad and I are not going to be able to come to shop day.
We were going to bring my sister's 05 MCS but she has to work all day Saturday....Hopefully we can try to make it to another shop day soon!
Thanks again,
Hilary

Re: October Shop Day
That was awesome, and much appreciated. My Mini now has a new (unplanned) motor mount that doesn't leak, a new belt, new plugs and a new SC pulley.
Thanks to Dave, Don and Zach.

Re: October Shop Day
It was fun actually helping to remove stuff and install things on a car. Haven't done that for a while. I am still sore from crawling around under my car to install the sway bar. Works great. Just gotta iron out a few...clanks...and clunks.eronning wrote:That was awesome, and much appreciated.

Re: October Shop Day
It runs perfectly. The supercharger whines just a bit earlier, in a good way! It is smooth and seems quicker, as long as I'm not trying to show two friends (in the car) how fast it is....
It is by far my favorite car, and it just got better.
