Not a heck of a lot new going on now. Got the stereo installed into the Cooper. Looks and sounds great. Only thing I plan on changing is the sub box. The one I have sounds fine, but its too tight of a fit to pull in and out when I need space. Was funny seeing the entire MINI gutted out on the front lawn. Pictures of the install are HERE.

Had the windows tinted. Pictures coming soon. I just need some daylight and time to wash the car first. Watch here for updates.  Also picked up some of my new toys. Alta cold air intake, and Alta 15% supercharger reduction pulley have been received. Just waiting on the Borla cat back exhaust and Unichip ECU. Said and done, the MINI should be sitting around 200-210hp at the crank. Should make the little thing move pretty good. Add to that springs and sways next spring/summer and it should be a whole new car.

Work is crazy. I have been putting in a pile of extra hours trying to get things working in a timely fashion with minimal down time for the schools. Monday, I found out that I probably won’t be getting the overtime pay we were told we would be eligible for. Nor can I even claim for lieu. So I’m a bit pissed off at the situation. I’m loosing a lot of respect for the people who make the rules. It’s a shame, but they are basically forcing us to look at other jobs. Not that I want to leave my current job, but if things don’t turn around in the way they treat their people, I can assure you my extra efforts which I have put in since I started will come to a grinding halt. I don’t think they want to see what actually gets done in a 35 hour work week. We are always behind, and I normally work 40 or so hours.  Won’t they be in for a treat.
