What did you do to your MINI today?

Added a little more wheel gap. This is my cone dodging footwear. 12.5lb Kosei K4Rs, 22lb 215/45-16 Falken RT660... Test and tune this weekend, thought I'd get the tyre pressures sorted out, first.
I'm going to need a new excuse for lousy times, now.

 

Hitting the 90 day mark and the coating is still holding up. I stopped by the detailer and got the “booster” spray wax. Cleaned it up the other day. Not a swirl or blemish! we absolutely love this car !

 

Wrapped HVAC knobs, happy to get rid of the chrome.

 

First measurable 1” of snow in New York Staten Island all season. SE stay in garage bc city is putting more salt on streets than snow is falling from sky’s .They just waisting resources like always .

 

That was a fun night

 

Yep enjoyed it. These events are always fun

 

I maxed out the rear camber. It was at 1.5°, Now at 1.85°. My autocross rear tyres were barely scuffed on the inside, but we'll scrubbed on the outside. I slightly backed off the rear toe setting when fixing that after the cambering.
It's quite easy to adjust front and rear toe and rear camber.
My car was bit looser than I'd like, particularly on slaloms. I suspect more roll than rears could cope with. Before I saw the wear pattern, I was going to put the rear ARB back to stock. I added extra holes to stiffen it 25% last year.
Next event is next Sunday.
I think I've worked out how to build some shocks that will help me to dodge those pesky cones, but without the bonus feature of breaking my teeth on the way to work. Time to do some maths.

 

From last week, it was a snow day.

 

We got a bit of snow in Ann Arbor yesterday. I was bummed I didn't get outside before the snowmass slid off the hood of my SE. Maybe if I hadn't deleted my hood scoop, the pile-up on the hood would have stayed in place for a better photo.

 

I bought mine today!

 

The orange marker lights have been driving me nuts. I got a piece of some mildly tinted wrap to solve that issue.

 

Installed the FitCamX dash cam and took it for a drive to test it out.
Pleased so far, now just need to do the hard part of installing the rear camera module and running the cable to the front one…

 

Looks better, I wold have gone darker yet. Has anyone drawn up a template for these they could post?

 

Looks so much better! Have to agree with @MRYFLYGUY though, would look even better darker. I wrapped mine in rather dark shade tint such that they essentially blend in with the wheel arches...

 

I like to stay visible, so tint would mean brighter bulbs to compensate for me. But at least they aren't blacked out brake lights...

 

Something that always bothered me is the passenger side mirror doesn’t dim (only the center and driver.) This wasn’t always the case so I found a passenger mirror controller with dimming+heating+tilt+fold and swapped it into my original mirror. I already had dimmable glass all around. Just finished up and amazingly it “just worked” without any coding.

I originally was going to run a wire from left to right, just a simple tap, but that’s really janky. Then I thought I’d just use an existing mirror assembly with all the features, but they removed passenger dimming before redesigning the housing. Left and right would have been different and the mirror caps aren’t interchangeable. Ultimately transplant was the only way.

 

Cops here are bored so some orange still showing won’t draw too much attention
