    What is up with the throttle off the line. Push the pedal and wait, and wait and wait and then it takes off! :confused5:

    I read on this forum that seems to be normal? Ok?:frown2:

    So I hope that this Sprint Booster helps? :idea:

    Welcome to MA and glad to see you personalizing/modding your MINI. You definitely fit right in around here. Nice R56.

    Thank you.


    I felt like this was a Mini photo moment this morning. A Mini is like having your own personal "Top model", every picture looks good with a Mini in it. :lol:

    I never realized until this picture but perhaps the stock wheels are really "fugly" looking?

    This year I have been more aware then normal about creepers, drivers that will continue to move up on you at a stop light even when you are trying to make clearance with them behind you. And the all to familiar cell phone use that starts before they come to a complete stop at a controlled intersection.
    Personally I really do not want to be in a fender bender rear end collision because of either of these primary examples of poor driving skills and lack of common sense and reasoning. I seem to be more alert now more than ever with this situation while driving the MINI.

    Hmm? So what can I do? :ihih:


    :idea: :lol:

    A ecu tune will help with the throttle response.

    The widow sticker says 2009 and what does the title say ?? After looking at this reply it kinda sounds a bit harsh which was not my intent.

    :cornut: On both Margi and Anne(R56 & R55) I just use the hand sprayer wash 1st degreaser, 2nd hot soapy water, 3rd rinse water. Works great and I've never had a problem. On some cold air intakes it's best to cover them with a plastic bag.:Thumbsup:

    The wife told me that I do not plan out my time well. So she is the boss the only thing I could come up with to help me out is a cheap watch. I know the "geek" is coming out in me now? And Ebay has been confirmed to be mental illness :lol:
