Right off 4th and Lincoln there is the area where the Italian Festival main tent gets setup. Good view of the fireworks over 670 so long as you get the back side of the lot, not near the trees. Easy access to 670/71 to get out of dodge afterwards.

The oil pan gasket is somewhat common. So is a leak from the crank seal that appears to be an oil pan gasket leak. Both can be fixed with motor in car. You'll need to go into service mode. How To for Crank Sensor Seal H/K system amps fry. No real way to test them. Expensive to replace and hard to find. 18" Wheels on a 1st gen MINI in Columbus is a bad idea. Go back to a 17" with a 215/45. It's quite normal for there to be a bit of negative camber in the rears. However if lowered then a set of adjustable control arms are a good idea. Only need two in the lower positions, no need for all 4. Columbus has a fairly active MINI community. Mid-Ohio Motoring using Motoring Alliance for its forum space. I own Motoring Alliance. Mid-Ohio Motoring area on Motoring Alliance. You'll find us a friendly lot with a penchant for donuts.

Streetwerkz http://streetwerkz.com/ They do great work. I've seen quite a bit of it first hand.

Thanks for the reminder, I'd not have known about this show.. My photos http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/photos-video/18267-timmayfest-2013-photos.html#axzz2VjFNvlLC

Yeah, didn't work. Thanks though.

Thanks for the replies. I did see the contacts on the old home page for Progressive and have written them as well. Was looking to other options if there are any. The unit powers up, it's having issues with skipping and often not seeing there is even a CD in place. I could pop the cover but I'd have no idea of what I'm looking at, electronics are not my thing at all.

Now that Progressive Audio is closed of course I have an issue with a Rega Apollo CD player. Anyplace in the Columbus area where I can turn to now for sales and service of quality High End Audio stuff?

Maybe I just left to early.. Oh well.. Here's to next year.

Was a good turnout, much better than last year. However the purple Diablo with the prancing dolphin seascape on the sides was not there again this year. What a shame, it's the epitome of horrid looking.

Hey...thats me.. http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr133/probin007/Carsaugust1.jpg

Welcome home, thanks for your service. :thumbup:

That was fun, not a ton of cars but those that were there for mart part were very nice. Nit-pics. Signage from one area to the other sucked. Being I've been to the Mall area there like never I did not know where I was going from one set of cars to the other. Full Pic dump Some selected pics with commentary

Great...thanks.
