Well time for an update.. since there is actually stuff to update

So far I have done:

-Alta CAI v2.0
-One-Ball exhaust mod
-Added 'king chilli' rear vision mirror ornament

The cai is of excellent quality - nice silicone piece, well made box and fits securely. (note: not my one pictured below - red silicone with black filter)



The one-ball exhaust mod.. well thats just to get some noise out of it and cut out a major restriction - this WILL be changed for a set of extractors and a full system in a few months time (sorting out other toys/priorities atm) - from the pic below u get the idea why its called one-ball.. if not.. picture standing behind the car looking at a pair of mufflers.



King Chilli (wog thing.. been on all my cars.. just so happens its a chilli model)



Then the tragedy!! Coming back from work 2 weeks ago - turning onto Vincent st from loftus in peak hour traffic. Roll forward and hear/feel an almight BANG.
Roll forward and the car feels like it has a triangle wheel at the back. Pull over straight away on first side street.. to find a bolt has puncture the tyre. Call up my mate with a towtruck and 20 minutes later im on my way home with the mini on the back.

This is where i get shitty. As the car uses runflats it does not come with a spare tyre. Since the bolt is lodged in the tyre and was causing it to drive all over the place. It is now undrivable. So up on stands it goes. I finally got my ass around to pulling out the bolt and taking some pics after work today and this is what i find:

Hole it punched through the wheel



Start to pull it out - im thinking.. hmm normal looking bolt



"Ok.. WTF is this shit??"



Now this is fkn rediculous.. i still cant figure out how this ends up lodged in my tyre.



So anyway.. this left me at the point of needing a replacement. Mini(BMW) want stupid money for just 1 wheel and a new runflat leaves no change out of $500 for a comparable tyre to whats on there (i think runflats are shithouse anyways)

So i put an order in last week for a set of these:



Which should leave the car looking similar to this (once lowered obviously)



I did try to get those exact wheels.. but they ceased production start of last year.

So thats where i'm at for now.. i'll figure out what to do with the suspension over next few weeks whilst the wheels get sorted. And throw some stuff at it again after the new years (dirt bike time now).
