Hobbies

[Cigarbear]

Wood working/turning and distance running. I haven't found a thread for the latter though I'm not surprised

Todays hobby was replacing the crankshaft balancer/pulley on her Mini Cooper S . It was a shitty BMW design and they wanted 400$ for a factory one. I went online and got a billet aftermarket one that weighs less than 1 pound. Now the lil bastard will fly down the road. Gonna save up and get a 15% larger pulley for the supercharger and go eat some Mustang GT's

What year is your Binnie? My sister in law had a 2007 and the transmission was all kinds of fucked up. The later years supposedly ficed the problem but my father in law never failed to tease her about it not being original. He used to race the British models in the 60s and never lost the love for the originals.
