Hey minipnut,
that blows! dont understand why people would want to do something like that

hope you can get a nice set of tyres for your mini.

Minipnut · Apr 29th, 2007, 12:32 PM

thnx, sux though was looking forward to the brace then taking her to queesland raceway one weekend, now thats all on hold for awhile

im_dave · Apr 30th, 2007, 03:22 AM

That's low Minipnut... bloody idiots - it's bloody dangerous as well...

On a slightly more pleasant note, any news on the strut braces?

jksgoh · May 2nd, 2007, 04:05 AM

hey guys,
quick reminder, still waiting on payment from a couple of you guys, and still need address for qld.
Also if anyone else wants in please reply asap!!

Mushrooming - I used to do that with my folks in the forest when I was young. Thems was the day when you knew that you werent pcking death caps or other supect fungus.

Anyway - on the topic of strut braces etc. I have noticed that there seems to be a bit of odd goings on in regard to fitting. I sourced a carbon strut brace which came of Mike Ranieris mini - it obviously fitted on his - yet it does not even clear the ECU box on my mates Mini. It's like the ECU and air box are sitting higher then in Mike's (I did assume that the airbox would have to make way for a CAI perhaps).

Like wise I have heard of JCW braces not fitting one car after coming off another of similar vintage.

Has anyone else noticed this - or am I indeed going mental?

jksgoh · May 2nd, 2007, 10:48 AM

Another quick reminder,
Last chances for a m7 stb!

Hi guys,
Any updates??

Corey · May 9th, 2007, 09:16 AM

Should have the STB's by Friday with any luck. Worst case Monday.

Thank You all.

Cheers
Corey

Paul_T · May 9th, 2007, 01:52 PM

Hi Corey - thanks for the update.

Do you mean you should have them by then? Or we should have them by then?

Corey · May 11th, 2007, 04:04 AM

You should have them by then.

Cheers
Corey

im_dave · May 11th, 2007, 09:19 AM

Cool, does that mean they can be picked up in Sydney already?

Chilli_Red · May 13th, 2007, 10:54 AM

Met up with Corey today and picked my M7 STB up off him. Should get around to fitting it in the near future.
Just a note for everyone, it is recommended to use new nuts when fitting ,they are about $4.00 from BMW. Also they should be torqued up to 25 lb/ft or 34 Nm. I also intend to put a very small amount of loctite on the threads as well, just for insurance!

Chilli_Red

im_dave · May 13th, 2007, 11:20 AM

Awesome!!!

So you need new nuts to replace the existing ones?

How do you torque up to that specific 25lb/ft...? Is there a special tool that is needed?
