Re: MINI Cooper upgrades
Wow... reminds me of Tim's (wife's) Talon that we replaced the clutch on. We had to remove the taillight bulbs, washer fluid, and clean out the glove box to make that happen.

It is alive!
38 days from starting the teardown to taking it around the block for it's initial test drive (last Sunday evening).
Time breakdown estimate: 20% actual mechanical work, 10% reading or researching to do that work, 10% undoing and re-attaching freaking wiring/plugs, 5% parts shopping, 5% explaining to suppliers that they sent me the wrong part (or a defective one) - and 50% waiting on shipping, usually of said part to replace the incorrect or defective one.
