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

[Sockethead]

Its not like I was running track laps or anything! I just wound out 2nd gear a few times... Trust me, when you come down to Florida, you'll see, the roads are all flat, straight, and boring. A1A is like a giant dragstrip. Straight, wide open, flat...


They will fit just fine! Our girl actually prefers the ZHP to the X3 because she can see out of the car more. That, or she just knows how awesome natural brown leather is...

Does the ZHP have the "Latch system" for the baby seats? also, do you put something under the frame to protect the leather? They have the plastic frames that the seat locks into...

This is all new to us

Yes, it does have the latch anchors. You'll see them under the little plastic clips in the bottom corners... Lemme know if you need and I can take some photos. And yes, we do have a seat protector underneath, it has some non-skid grippy thing on the underside too. Honestly though, a towel would prolly work just fine. The only benefit is that ours has some pockets that hang down under the car seat for storage... Again, lemme know if you want some photos.

Ok thanks

Just wrapped up a 4.5 hour total cooling system and pulley update. Thanks to the DIY on bmw330ci and a 6 pack of Brau Brothers RingNeck ale (shout out to my wife's uncle and cousins that are the masters behind http://braubeer.com)
the job couldn't have gone smoother.

My first DIY with my "new" ZHP. What a fantastic car.

Wow, I had a lot to catch up on!

I'm doing an 8-week self prep course for the DAT. This is my 3rd and final time to be able to take it, so its pretty serious. If I don't do well, then I can kiss my dream of being a Dentist (that I realized nearly 9 years ago and have been working very hard towards ever since) goodbye!

As for the ZHP... That radar detector mount that I spoke of about 4 pages back came in. I haven't been able to drive much with it yet (I work 5 minutes from home), it seems very sturdy, but perhaps I have it clamped down too hard? It seems to make the mirror shake some and thats very annoying. I need to find some time to mess with it soon. Here is that pic for reference.



I also took the car, with its tinted windshield, through city inspection thinking they wouldn't notice its tinted. Well, they did, and they failed me. I told the guy I have a Dr.'s note for it, but forgot to bring it. He said it should be no problem getting it passed if I come back with a Dr.'s note. Now I need to get to get an eye exam and sweet talk my Optometrist into writing me one. I have two other options, option one, the rumor is that since the city is broke, they are going to squash the city inspection program all together at the end of the month (PRAYING!). Option two is to register my car in the county. I have a few addresses I can use.

Good luck! Worst case scenario, if you have to pull the tint, have that done and retint it with Llumar Air Blue 80... As soon as I replace my windshield, I'll be doing that. Almost completely clear, but rejects heat and UV like no other!!

Nice work.

Looks like some good beer as well.

I'm going to attempt to install my performance rear diffusor later. First, I have many hours ahead of me in the office. Boo.

Did my steering Guibo this morning, and wow! What a difference! I had a good amount of steering play before this, and the new Guibo completely eliminated all of the play. My car now drives like an M3 should...
