I think I just discovered super secret nitrous tubes hidden inside my MINI...

Those calipers were brand new!   8.gif

[Davisio]

Ya. I know. But, different ones worked better? All I know is they don't  seem to drag anymore

[94touring]

Still have the old ones by chance?

[Davisio]

No.

And... in reviewing my invoice, it was just new pads. Not new calipers

[94touring]

Oh good.  That makes me feel better.   Odd either way.

Davisio,

Where is the Mini located?

[94touring]

Indy.  In fact I drove it there.

Indy.  In fact I drove it there.

And in the frigid cold and snow!

[94touring]

I'm still thawing out.   :D

[MPlayle]

If I were literal minded, would that mean the heater is still packed with "mud" and not working?

::)

From the build thread I would assume otherwise.

Still looking for what is out there for options to consider.  This is one candidate.

[94touring]

De mudded and new end piping.  I think I was an idiot and had the heater valve closed. 

[MPlayle]

Lol.  The infamous "operator error"!   :D

Are those the seatbelt pre-tensioners?

Looks like a side air bad/curtain air bag inflator to me. Probably contains a compressed gas like Helium or Argon. The wire on the end if to trigger the controlled explosion and pump through the tube on the top.

I had a heck of a week. Lots of stuff going on. And Yesterday I had a 24 hour day. Near the end of that 24 hour day, I saw Jemal's reply to me on MM and I lost it. haha. Words might have been said, but I just don't care. I'm sick of smugness and mightier than thou mentality.

But the good news is that I got this sweet picture this week! Got the rare opportunity to snap a phew photos of the XB-70 outside on the one day it's been outside since it was delivered in 1969. Literally once in a lifetime. It's been in the restricted access hanger for years. I actually got to see it then as well, but this was a much bigger deal. Hope you like the photos. I took them at night.

I love all those engines.

Effing sweet. I love the xb-70, and those shots you took are stellar. That and the x-15 have been on my list of planes to aee in person. As a kid i grew up on edwards afb and saw all sorts of cool shit. That was back in the days when the x-29 was ever popular and the f-22 was still a secret. Use to watch both of those fly.

Standing right behind it is an overwhelming experience. It's awe, and slight fear of the raw power. I can't imagine the feeling of full power on that monster.

That is AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing. C an I share with an Aviation friend? He will geek out over those pics.

[MPlayle]

As others have said - simply amazing.  That plane and the SR-71 are my most favorite.  Those are indeed once in a lifetime pictures.  Thanks again for sharing.

[MtyMous]

You all can absolutely share with anyone you want. Go to the Flickr link I posted and you can see the in full resolution. The engine pic came out incredibly well I think.

My kitchen, after months, is finally coming to a completion.  That cabinet company really derailed the project. Now to slowly go through and fix all the mistakes, like cabinet doors 1/2" out of square.

[94touring]

That's slick, I like it.
