Hey scooter boy i presume you are referring to me. I don't give a rats a$$ what oil or snake oil you put in your dash pot i can only hope your car runs so good now it self destructs and puts us all out of our misery listening to your constant BS and so called "advice" of which you have no first hand experience.
So where are the pictures or is this just something you read oh i mean watched (as we all know you are too lazy to read a Haynes manual) on the internet again.
BS on the fan detail too you were told by numerous people your fan was incorrectly installed months if not years ago and chose to leave it as is just so you could bring it up at a later date to impress yourself here again.

i think what i will do is to remove all the rivettes on the blade then hammer the blade until it becomes concave on the other side then rivette it back the correct way. Ok that'll be my next big project.

Whatever you do DONT turn the blade over and rivet it back without hammering the s___ out of it.

BTW, i just would like everyone know that i did not buy my front sway bar, i made it myself, it's a homemade swaybar. i don't have $380 to buy one. Since i am not racing my mini, i specifically used a 12.7mm solid bar instead of the standard 16mm. that way, i can still feel a bit of softness rather than stiff, but the vibration disappears drastically.,that's what i am after. i got 2 mounting points on each side. i did the welding myself as well. i used 58inches long of 12.7 mm round bar.,
Another good thing is that when i jack up my mini, the spring doesn't get loose because the sway bar is holding the wheels up.
Now, i am preparing to do the rear swaybar using same 12.7 mm round bar. To me, damper alone is not enough all mini should have sway bar install on them. trust me, you'll like it. this time I'm not joking!

Can we get some pics of the new front anti roll bar you installed on your special Mini, be sure to get a shot of the pink paint in the pics we know it is yours.
FWIW a rear anti roll/sway bar does more for a Mini's handling.
