We'll its time to start on the projects that I planned on Gretel. I want to add a oil temp and voltmeter to complete the gauge package for this car. Next is the Alta Intake hose and the second Oil Catch Can. Then the 4-2-1 Header. The header is a unit I bought from a guy for around $400. It is normally a $800 item. I am afraid about the CAT from what others are saying that it will trip the Check Engine Light. I am thinking of having a local shop cut the CAT off and add a flange so that I can add a high flow Cat to it and have the option of replacing a bad cat when needed. One at a time is the plan.

The Alfa Romeo Club is holding their annual track day at Grattan on Memorial Day and I would like to run Gretel there. It is a fun time and I get to sharpen my skills on the track.

Mods are in the future. Oh oh time comsumption is near. I would like to spend time with my wife and son and I know that takes priority.

Till Later, Cheerio

Welcome MINI folks and Friends that do not have MINIs.

This is the first of many posts that exposes my fascination with cars especially the MINI.

Here is Gretel.
