About 1:oopm today I received a refund for my M7 Tuning Catch Can. They refunded me $126.65 of the $142.59 I paid them. As with most business done over the internet shipping is not refundable. In this case I think it was kind of a crappy move though. Read the whole story starting here. I [...]
[Read Part 1] Part 2 Today just confirmed my decision yesterday to never, ever, ever send money to M7 Tuning. In fact it will be mission too not only not send money to them, but never ever buy anything they make from anyone. I arrived home after a few errands to see my replacement catch [...]
So a few months ago, Marth 4th, I ordered Black Catch Can from M7 Tuning. This was for my 2009 R55. After ordering I was notified that the Black cans were on back ordered, but they could send me a billet one right away. Now understand, I’m not usually a engine matching kinda guy, but [...]
I usually try and spend the holiday weekends around the house. After all, most everyone else is out cluttering up the camping spots, local pools and amusement parks. Don’t get me wrong sometimes I like crowds, but usually when I’m alone, not with the family. Keeping track of everyone, and keeping everyone happy can be [...]
The boys over at WhiteRoofRadio [iTunes Link] have been talking about this issue for a few months now. These oil starved engines are really starting to become an issue. I’ll do my part to spread the word. CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL PEOPLE! The video and their take after this jump.
Let’s start this off by telling your it was about 25 degrees in my garage when I started this. A fresh coat of snow blanketed my driveway. So first things first. An hour before I was ready to get started I fired up the propane heater. A nice toasty garage is a must. After that [...]
New parts ordered today…I went with the Smurf Blue. Should be here in a few days from Temecula, CA
The Hankook snow tires have been on for about 32oo miles and yesterday I got the chance to rotate them. While working this process I check the tire pressure. Turned out the “tire monkeys” at Peerless tire set the tires at 28psi. All along I thought the loss of grip was due to the sipping [...]
You know you’re a Mini owner if…you use your kid’s bathroom to wash floormats in the Winter time
Finally biting the bullet today and picking up some snow rubber for the Clubman. I have been all over the map on this one. Would it be Blizzaks, Dunlops or the super in expensive Hankooks. I decided on the Hankooks. The budget is tight right now, and the tread design has the “V” aspect I [...]
Last week I picked up some new primed mirror caps from the dealer. Today I painted them and waited for them to dry. The anticipation was killing me. I mean I’ve been talking about getting rid of the chrome caps for months. Flat Blacking these was my goal. Pulled out some rattle can, satin flat [...]
16,450 miles Today was the Clubman’s first oil change and dealer service. While waiting I had a look around at Ralph Schomp. Check out these 17″ R108s. They look tremendous is black. Kind of an expensive winter rim, but they would be epic. I didn’t pull the trigger. $2,000+ worth of wheels would not sit [...]
