Again guys? Cheese whiz, this is what I get to enjoy my morning coffee over. As it is written above. So lets break this down some. Nitrominis has a car that rarely sees the road spending the vast majority of ifs papmerped life on Jackstands in the driveway, hence the name Driveway MINI. On those rare occasions it does hit the road the MINI is so modified that it does not compare with what 99.99999999% of us drive. How many other street driven MINI's have LP Gas injection? How many have modified the fueling system to add extra fuel pumps? I could go on and on but really comparing this MINI to other MINIs is like comparing Apples (the fruit) and Chickens. While both may be foodstuffs, that's about where the comparison ends. Now the other matter... Jan...thanks for the drive by shootings. This site has been here over a year and you knew about from day 1, heck from even before day 1, I spoke to you back in April 09 and told you about this. Now you have deemed M/A as the next place to take pot shots. You think you have better products? Prove it buy showing what your products can do. Sure does make you look petty (not in the good Tom Petty way) when you site behind that iPhone and take pot shots. Lynn, Jan and Bryan - There is history here. I don't expect ya'll to sit down and break bread together. However, I do expect you to keep your pants on and stop waving your schmekle around. Can't do that...go back to NAM and MiniTorque, or why not try TotalMINI, ya'll have yet to drop your drawers and pinch one off there. The bottom line, I'm not going to tolerate this behavior on M/A, I made that known from the outset. I urge you to view the Member Policy again please. Please note #1 I've adjusted the size to make sure it is visible. If y'all can't abide by that one simple directive then M/A is not the place for you.
so asking for a dyno sheet to confirm someones assertations is now not allowed? if so........I'll be moving on........
A few things here.. Asking for a dyno sheet to confirm assertions is not the issue. What is the issue is the tone and tenor portrayed when the question is asked. And of course, the source of the question. While at this time RMW is not a site sponsor there is a "special relationship" going on here. Due to the extensive marketing RMW has done, both on their own and by discussion over the years by others on various sites, RMW is known entity as a purveyor of MINI parts. So, when RMW asks these types of questions the source is now suspect. Is there an ulterior motive in acting so innocent? All I have to say is... If you want to market product here, you know how Jan. If you just want to come here as your business name and shoot everyone else down. Well don't let the door...
For the record unless Bryan (LongBoard or LB) says contrary he and I both appreciate and respect each others MINIs. Over the years any miss conception of "history" (negative) is fueled by others that feed on responses by he and I that may appear to be in question of mutual respect. Second not sure if I have ever made a power claim with regards to my MINI?: I think I made 180whp once??:smilewinkgrin: And for the record once again (I can find forum history about this) ABF/Mynes, specifically Jayson will be conducting a ECU re-map on my MINI this summer. At that time I have already talked with MIKE (Mynes) and he will post with my consent the Dyno graphs (all of them) pertaining to my MINI here on Motoring Alliance. :cornut: Nathan keep up the "GREAT" work on MA and I will continue to carefully consider my posting techniques to be both factual and informative for other members! And a little entertaining. :lol:
See Nathan, we can play nice. Actually Lynn, I do have respect for the amount of work you have done on your car. Some of your stuff is very interesting which is why I'm always busting your balls for you to step up and show what all that stuff can do. Yo As for how much power your car makes. I for one won't call BS either way. You have some crazy stuff going on and it may or may not work. It may or may not make big power. But in the end it is interesting none the less. So, it is nice to hear that after all these years your car will finally run allowing you to share some info. I look forward to seeing it. LB
Wow...this thread went in a totally bent direction... So much for the wires talk... But I will re-ask the question that was posted a while back... Where are the stock wires made and by who?
