All things MINI
I never ended up using these, and now I need some extra cash. Selling two sets of Hella Black Magic Driving Lights, with Plastic protective covers. Asking $200 per set. Please email me if you are interested: joshua AT hamman.org
Here is what they might look like. This was a test mount on a Palo Uber light bar.
I finally put the screws back in the interior down tubes. Had to punch a hole through the custom leather covers, but they still look good.
So glad its finally warm and I can leave the top down.
Dead battery? Bad alternator? Frozen door? Squeaky exhaust. 🙁 Off to Detroit Tuned tomorrow!
Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. Just washed it up. Was supposed to go to Cedar Point with the Michigan Mini club, but I’m stuck working today. 🙁
Here’s some fresh images:
Well it was inevabitble, finally hit 50,000 miles yesterday.
FINALLY! Finally! Finally! The Hamann Aluminum Emergency Brake Handle FINALLY arrived today. This was ordered back in Feb or March I think. I’ve been driving with a half removed/broken handle for the last few months.
AND my custom ordered wheel center caps from Aesthetic Creations came today too! I had them do my “Hamman” Squirrel logo on them in silver with the rest black. They look great! Got the front two on today, probably do the rears tomorrow and maybe try to do the BBK for the rear too.
No comments about the brake dust please, I need to buy a wheel brush! 🙂
Not a lot going on right now. Brake lines are in at Detroit Tuned for the rear BBK.
Haven’t had time to go get them yet.
All the interior leather is in place, still waiting for the Hamann eBrake handle from BavAuto.
Costs me $50 to fill it up, but its only every 3 weeks, so thats not bad. Most of the time I pull up to a pump its at $90 or something.
Well, thanks to Ed, Chris and Nikki for stopping by. (as well as my extended family)
Clawson put on the best fireworks show we’ve seen since we moved here.
Bummed no one else showed up, but oh well, we had a damn good time without you.
whats missing:
(the shots with eds in front didnt turn out, but imagine it there, and then all the rest of the empty spots, being held all day, for Minis that didn’t show)
Jan from Revolution Motor Works was in town this weekend doing Dyno tunes at Monkey Wrench Racing, so you know I got one. With all my mods, before he started it ran just over 200 HP on the Dyno. Final results from some Fuel/Air ratio and other tweaks:
208.5 Whp and
170.1 FtLb of torque on a nice fat curve. They weren’t able to give me the digital graphs, so here is a scan of the print out. I had to enhance the lines to make them visible:
Also picked up a State Farm Disney ‘Cars’ Sunshade. It came with red eyes (as Lightning McQueen). I trimmed it down and painted it black (like everything else 🙂 )
And for those that want to know, here’s the paints I used: Pactra Lexan RC Car body paint, and basic Rustoleum Plastic paint:
I ran out of the Pactra paint so I finished it off with the other. Once it dries, I’m going to go over the creases with a fresh black Sharpie marker to get rid of all the red peeks.
Here it is in Chakik: A bit too tall still, need to trim it.
