Open Garage Day at Knauz MINI (4/29)

Brian Lalor Apr 4th, 2006 Link

Gah! I'm moving that day. It'd be fun to come hang out, even though I don't have any mods to do.

Michael Apr 4th, 2006 Link

Sounds like a great event! Too bad my MINI won't be here until May 3rd! Thanks for putting this together. Hopefully I can catch the next one.

I may come watch

Ernie Apr 5th, 2006 Link

cool, this will be an easy way to rotate the tires on the car.

cya there

Ernie Apr 5th, 2006 Link

ARGH! Just checked the calendar again and I'll be busy at an American Cancer Society charity event.

Guess I'll have to get my tires rotated the old fashioned way in my own garage

Steve Rosenblum (Club Vice President) Apr 5th, 2006 Link

I'd like to be there, but I am currently scheduled to be out of town

Donna Apr 5th, 2006 Link

Rats! Steve, I was going to watch you rotate MY tires…

Not the most exciting mod but I have always wanted to add a skid plate and never got around to it. I have no idea what's involved but would like to bring a Moss aluminum to install if someone could offer some guidance.

Gabe Bridger (Club President) Apr 5th, 2006 Link

Hey Greg - I'm sure more than one of us could help you with it!

Arnie Press Apr 6th, 2006 Link

I have a lift @ home, but I bet I can get into some kind of trouble there. Count me in. Can we use the alignment rack for REAR alignment camber? I recently put in adjustable links…

Mark Apr 6th, 2006 Link

ooooh, this sounds fun. How does this work? I'm wanting to install a pulley & intake, I think i can handle the intake, but i might need a lot of help with the pulley.

Francis (MiniMac2005) Apr 6th, 2006 Link

I'll be there!!! I have the M7 USS that I'd like to install under my cabrio. I could use the help.. heck, I'd like to take pictures too!

Paul Apr 7th, 2006 Link

I thinking the same mod as Greg. Maybe I'll just stop in and see how it's installed and install mine after my 10K service.

John Apr 7th, 2006 Link

I think I will be there to just hang out and spectate. I will be bringing my Pulley removal tools, so if someone wants to do a pulley swap, get it ordered now!!!

Jim Apr 7th, 2006 Link

I will be at Knauz.

Mike Apr 7th, 2006 Link

I am checking with Knauz about the JCW air intake. I'd love to install it there, under adult supervision.

PK Apr 8th, 2006 Link

How about work that does not require a rack? Like an Ipod interface? Maybe I should buy it from Knauz and then have no guilt about asking for guidance. Would that be okay? Thank you! Paul

Christopher Wysoglad Apr 9th, 2006 Link

While I don't have any mods planned, I'm planning on being there to lend a hand to anyone and to learn as much as possible! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am new to the club (application is inbound) and would be interested in joining in. My MINI is arriving this week, and would like get some parts installed. Nothing major yet, just the alarm and an aux jack. Thanks, Brian

Gabe Bridger (Club President) Apr 17th, 2006 Link

Sorry I've been late in getting responses out to everyone. Here goes:

Mark: you'll need a pulley removal tool and someone with some experience using it. I've never done one or seen it done. Maybe Paul can help?

Francis: If you have instructions I'm sure you'd find more than one of us willing to lend a hand.

Mike: Ken and myself have put in two so there should be at least two of us there with some experience w/the intake.

PK: An iPod interface should be easy enough. I can show you how to open up your dash to get your radio out.

Brian: No experience with the alarm but I'm sure you could get some pointers from a few folks.

I'll try to get a schedule for everyone by the end of this week!

Just bought a new Cooper S from Kuauz in March. Looking forward to meeting the club. My membership is in route. FYI Free car wash every Saturday for Knauz bought Coopers! See you there..

marco Apr 20th, 2006 Link

addamaniac Apr 24th, 2006 Link

I will be attending. I am wondering if tools are goign to be rented/borrowed. I would like to do a crank pulley swap, but would need the puller for it. anyone know if we are gonna have access to tools?

Gabe Apr 24th, 2006 Link
