Went to our home track MSR Houston with The Driver's Edge organization this past weekend for a HPDE to get my father certified experience, and prepared for One Lap of America later this year. Also took the opportunity to shake off the rust myself. Rented a fully race prepped BSpec Mazda2 and had a blast. If you want more info on how to bring your car out to the track and learn at speed in a safe environment, let us know and we can help point you in the right direction.

Sometimes you get the usual stuff and sometimes you get a challenge.

My friend and awesome returning customer Adam Rodriguez has a unique, one off build for his Mini Countryman that he has been working on for years. I first saw the car when it was lifted and set up for light off-roading.

Recently, he decided to change it up to make it more a street weapon, but, since he loves WRC, wanted to re-create the looks of his favorite Mini WRC build as best as he can. This meant, among other changes, getting a CEIKA Performance BBK.

This setup of 6 pot brake calipers front and rear is massive. The rear, due to his being AWD, proved to not be as bolt on as hoped for the parking brake portion and caliper positioning. Not to worry! Let's do some fab and mock up work and get these things on and ready to go.

Another busy weekend. First up was helping a returning customer with their Mercedes C250 find an oil leak so we can plan the repair based on her timing.

2023 has already started off busy. First car in was a repeat customer with a 2017 F56 Mini Cooper Base that has had issues since a car accident and repair late last year.

Complaints of CEL codes for too much air before engine and too lean after alongside with a front end collision signaled a potential air leak past the turbo. This caused poor driving acceleration performance and caused the engine to dump fuel to prevent damage tanking MPGs. On a 3 cylinder engine, no boost is a big issue lol.

So, we hooked up the smoke machine to see if we could find the problem. We also noticed during the inspection a new, minor engine oil leak at the timing cover and a broken engine mount. These were all relayed to the customer to form a plan of attack to repair her car on her budget as quickly as possible.
