What did you do to your MINI today?

Hmm, well unless I'm just that incompetent I do not have that option anywhere in my settings. If you get the time, let me know how to get there within the menu screens and I'll verify. Would love to have more than the standard 3 blinks!

Yup I scrolled to it the other day as well, it's under "Lighting." Personally I prefer the three flashes, and if I haven't already started to cross the lane markers by the time the three are done (and I see a car in my mirror that might need the indication of my intent) I just hit it again.

I just bought some plastic "pockets" from Amazon which fit into the door close holes on my Cooper SE (F56) very useful

Lmk what you think. I installed mine the first weekend with the car and they scratched the car's door panels as soon as they snapped into place. At the first stop on my first drive with them in place, when I grabbed the handle to close the door again, it popped out and scratched the panel even worse. I cursed like a sailor. I removed them and threw them in the trash. :mad:
 
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 ! E8DDA534-20E5-4691-A670-57AFD6BF7F21.webp

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.

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.
