DIY *PULLEY PARTY* - Amherst, NH: Sat. 9/23/2006

It's been a while, so it's time for a...

PULLEY PARTY!

Where: 24 Mont Vernon Rd, Amherst, NH 03031, tel (603) 673-9798

Date: Saturday, 23-September-2006 (rain or shine)
Time: 8:00AM 'til ???



Join sponsors, JMacMini and AntiqueCarNut, for a terrific day of MINI fun and comraderie! We'll provide 'coffee and...' plus we'll probably order up pizzas or somethin' at lunchtime.So bring your MINI, your newly acquired performance or bling parts... and don't forget to bring your S.O. It's OK to attend just to schmooze and kick tires.

MINI supertech, Pete Eames, BWROOFCHEX , and sidekick John, will work their magic on your MINI. Need that Supercharger pulley? A new Intake? Sway bar? Springs? Intercooler? ECU upgrade? Bling, or? This is the day to have it done! Sorry, no oil changes or exhaust work, this time around. Pete's rates are very reasonable and his work is top-notch; the MINI meisters accept cash or check only , please. Prices below are labor only - you supply your own parts - so be sure to order in plenty of time from your favorite supplier:

SC Pulley install: $200
Rear Sway Bar install: $65.00
Intake install: $50.00
Four springs install: $125.00

Oxford Motorsports has reserved five, Alta 15% reduction SC pulleys at a specially discounted price of $108 just for this event. A 15% pulley is the easiest way to get that extra oomph out of your MCS's powerplant, without sacrificing reliability. These will be delivered on the morning of the event - at no additional charge. If you want one of the specially-priced SC pulleys, send a PM to NHRef. ** UPDATE 03-Sept: There are two additional pulleys available **

If you're interested in joining us, just reply to this thread. I will work the timeslots, depending on who wants what kind of work done. If you have a time preference range, I'll try to accomodate your request.

We'll have three garage bays for work, plus two more bays to keep MINI's out of the rain - and plenty of room to park dozens of MINI's.

Don't miss out! It could be a while before the next PP!

FINAL schedule as of 6:25AM on 23-Sept-06 Please plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before your scheduled installation time. This will help us to keep things moving smoothly:

(BAY 1)
8:00 - 9:00: rfinprc - pulley (OMS) *note updated timeslot*

If Ian brings GPMINI, will you kick his tires too?

Folks,

I set aside 5 Alta pulleys specifically for this event. For this "group buy", each pulley costs $108.00 delivered, cash or check (no credit cards) payable that day.

One pulley has already been spoken for. PM or email me directly if you want one of the remaining 4 pulleys.

DIY Pulley Please!

I'll be there on the 23rd. I've reserved a pulley and plan to have an air intake installed as well. I can be there early if that helps in allocating the time slots.

Okay, I'm nearly a definite for this, but can I reserve the earliest time slot? I may have to book it to Hartford for a game by late morning.

I'm thinking pulley + intake...

Hey Pete, I'ld like to get that fumoto valve (I've already got it) in while I still have a prayer of having any threads left in my oil pan drain plug. So put me down for an oil change and valve install.On the off chance that the threads are too far gone do you have the helicoil set for this ? Keensert? Lots of loctite?? Mid to late morning would be ducky if possible.
Jock

PS I didn't like that oil that was put in at your place last time, so I'd like to stick with castrol.Do I need to bring that?

out of my mind.........back in five minutes.

Hopefully there will be nothing needed for my car, but I almost feel like I should book a slot pre-emptively.

Only joking, I may show up as a spectator though.

Where do you put the pulley on that thing? The glovebox?
