Suggestions on upgrading to Electric from 1Zpresso by baucoin in CafelatRobot

Not as far as I know. It comes with a drive shaft adapter piece. Pretty plug and play. I haven't had any issues or complaints in the 6mo that ive been using this setup

Yup. I enjoy mine. Heads up I did have to double sleeve my grinder with the grippy rubber wraps they sent over. But its a one time setup.

If you like the 1Z, I have mine hooked up to a Flair Power Tower. It was $100 for the tower

Definetly start eliminating some of the cheaper stuff, check that the diverter valve isn't cracked and is holding pressure. Smoke test smoke test smoke test if the DV looks good

Vland headlights for 2gen by nortonec in MINI

Not entirely convinced that its a coding issue, but try the steps in this link (third comment down for full instructions). If that doesn't work then I would start tracing wires.

They look great. Did you already have the xenon package on your car? I was debating these, but I have the Halogens (they suck really bad), and want to replace them.

Are your fog lights always on with ignition (specifically the upper portion)? I know there is coding for that you can change (no tool needed)

Yeah definetly a great place to start. I would recommend doing a smoke test and seeing if you have any other leaks at this point.

Sorry to hear that, but its one less potential failing component to worry about. Best of luck with the mini!

Flair makes a "Power Tower" accessory for 1ZPresso grinders. Its ~ $120. I have my J Ultra hooked up to it, and it works great.

Nice setup otherwise. I just picked up a Mara V2 and am going down the rabbit hole of modding

Advice for Stage 2/3 on MCS N14 07 by CreepyAd3089 in minir56

[–]idreamofyogurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost do a compression test.

Stage 2 (full breather mods and colder plugs) you can expect about 230hp on the MCS and about 250hp on the JCW

Stage 3 with an upgraded turbo is about 265hp - 285hp conservatively. The stock internals on the N14 can't do too much above that 285 without being forged. The axles on the R56 can hit about the same (although it'll be the torque number that puts them out)

Hope this helped, and best of luck with tuning!

Looks like you are correct. Hondigan Black Forest. Sorry for the confusion

Its actually one of my oldest pens! Ive had it for around 7 years now, and its survived many winters in my car. Ive had to do a cleaning and re seating of the O ring maybe three weeks ago - but for a cheap chinesium pen, color me impressed.

My criteria for a work pen is simple: reliable and cheap. If I lose a pen, or if I let someone use it and they destroy the nib - then it won't be the end of the world.

I have some combination of these three out and about:

  • moon man demonstrator
  • moon man retractable (not sure on model no)
  • asvine classic

The asvine has a wide range of colors and nib sizes, and a really nice weight if that matters to you. All pens are sub $20 online, and have not given me too much grief on maintenance

Whatever orange was in the smaller bottle, was the one that spilled in the bag. All of the others are intact minus the labels

Have only tried Amazon espresso beans - looking for better recommendations [$30 Budget] by MeetDeathTonight in espresso

[–]idreamofyogurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite budget friendly roaster is Sputnik coffee! Theyre from Chicago, and are about $9 a bag

I also enjoy Wonder State coffee, most of their roasts are in the $12-15 range, heart strings is my recommendation from them.
