Nice sound Chad

I see you're from Charlotte. Small world.
My grilfriend Erna (nickname MiniBeardie) was there last year while visiting friends near Raleigh.

She also visited Hendrick MINI in Charlotte. But you didn't buy yours there i see.



That she is standing next to a hot chocolate Clubman, which i bought six months after her visit, is pure coincidence

Ron

I didn't buy my MINI from Hendrick but I frequent that dealer alot with the local MINI club.

Time for an update. I've been working on retrofits these last few months and have been successful with coding the front and rear fog lights,automatic climate control which resulted in a few complications that were later worked out,heated seats and cruise control/MFSW. Also changed the seats from leatherette to tuscan beige along with a few beige interior panels,oak trim and creme colorline. Winter wheels as well.Here are a few pics of the changes:

Changed my intake setup again:





No engine swap yet since I'm concentrating on my new Mazda's RX-8 3 rotor 20b engine build. Also I have the 914 2.0 engine pulled for rebuild.
More updates to follow.....

Thanks Fred! I'm still running with the original motor. The logistics involved in changing an auto MC to a manual MCS is very involved. I'm still working out the bugs before actually attempting the swap.

Thanks Coen! The retrofit cost around $300 for parts in addition to having the interface,power supply and subscription to MINITECHINFO.com for the coding.
