What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Yeah that's gonna be so much easier with a lift in the garage.

Sent from my GS3.

(Yesterday)
Bruce secured my hood sensor switch because it was pretty loose from the modifications that had to be made when the BMW Performance Strut Bar was installed. Now it's nice and firm and won't fall out constantly like it did before.

Also, resealed my Gruppe M intake because the original seal was deteriorating, using some door trim plastics that can be obtained from Advance Auto (thanks again, Bruce!). It looks much better now and and is much more resilient now as well. Did y'all know that the Gruppe M intakes all seem to have the same serial #? There was another ZHP there that had the same intake and has the same serial # as mine, despite that one being carbon fiber and mine being Kevlar. Charlie's is also the same serial #.... what gives???

Picked up the spare Style 71 wheel Bruce had for me; this thing is nearly mint. The odds of finding just one is astronomical since the very very few sets that you see for sale are only in sets of 4. That was pure luck right there...

everything wrapped up under the car

couldn't install the radiator or hoses yet - waiting for new condenser (the original ended up with a crimped line that I didn't want to trust to a HOT day next summer

Installed the 65W H7 bulbs for my low-beams.

Didn't take pictures, but they straight throw from the headlights are exactly like my Xenon from the Z4M. They don't throw as wide...but that is halogen for you.

Very impressed.

I ordered something for the car today... Charlie's carbon fiber fairies are cheating on him...

Damn Stuart. My back was hurting from bending over the car for four hours, but it looks like you just assembled the whole car in a weekend.

It's all about knowing what you're doing, which Stu at this point definitely knows.

I could probably take a rolling chassis /02 and drive it down the road with close enough adjustments in about 2 hours, but I know that chassis and drivetrain like the back of my hand. Dialed in is another story...
