Hello,

I picked up a cooper S last week 12 miles on the o. and am enjoying it pretty much. My brake in should be over sometime today when I hit 1000 miles. That's the brake in mileage correct?

I had a 300hp WRX before this. Kinda fun going from that to this. But I'm making pretty good change off all those parts which are now for sale. More mods for the MINI. There has got to be a way to mount these Hella 500's on there. I haven't found anything in the way of brackets that are sturdy. Helix13 pulled theirs because they were too flimsy. Any ideas?

Greetings, and I'll see you around.

Hello!

Welcome to MINI2.

Now the 'bad' news....

Run in period is 1250 miles.

Just a little longer...

Bunuel, congratulations on your purchase!

Cooper right now but upgrading from Cooper to Cooper S. My S was due to arrive at Crown yesterday or today.

Be sure to respect the 1250-mile break-in period!

Damn. 1250 miles? I wanted to have fun this weekend and not experience that during my commute to DC. Oh well, next weekend it will be then.
