I had some concerns about that too, but after talking with the tech at NM I decided to stick with the low setting for now. They have tested it with MCS, FJCW, and cars with the JCW tune and had no adverse effects. He said the only problem they had was when in first gear the high setting with 300+ ft lbs of torque the electronic "LSD" would sometimes have trouble adapting and go to reduced power.
The reason I went with the tuning kit plus NM module vs an aftermarket exhaust and the module was the info with dyno tests provided by this guy. (link below) After putting only ~150 miles on it since the install I can say the only problems I've had is the lack of traction. I guess when I get new wheels I'll try 225's and see if it's any improvement over the 215's I'm now running.

I got rid of the factory tires within a week of getting the car. It came with Hankook run flats and they sucked. I'm running Goodyear F1 all season tires now because I drive the car year round. When I get new wheels I can think about sticky summer tires and then use the stock wheels for winter tires. I'm sticking with either Goodyear or Dunlop because I get a 25% discount on their tires since I retired from GT&R.

 

I have put in an exhaust at curbside in the rain, and not in summer, either.
Didn't think it was going to, then halfway through, ....
I wouldn't want to do it again.

 

Come on Lee, time to man up & lay some pipe.

 

So yesterday I washed a dirty MINI. This morning it looks like a powered sugar donut. My fault it snowed, clean MINI syndrome at work. Sorry about the snow local folks.

 

Got Vader all cleaned up!

 

Thank you Jason. I'm scoping out a new used camera len$.

 

Thought of the Helmet when I drank this last night...

 

Love the kangaroo bar. Great for moving drunk hipsters outta the way.

 

Should get yourself an R60 Dave... Then you could have fun in the snow too! [emoji12]

 

Nice H&K sticker.

 

Nice to get confirmation that they do come in a color other than Maroon! I like the look of the Thunder Grey car. I might have to take a test drive the next time I visit my dealer. Don't want one, but looks to be worth a try. Then again, I didn't want an F56 until about an hour before I closed the deal. :idea:

 

Cuz what's better than buying your MINI a Rod??? [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12]

 

Starting your mods at the top? :wink:

 

Our prisons are plenty filled so they pump them out very quickly!!

 

Due to water use restrictions in my town, I can only wash my car at home on Saturdays. Unfortunately, it seems that with two kids, my weekends are busier than my weekdays, so that doesn't usually work out for me. I just end up using a self-service car wash near my work. Gets me outta the lab so I don't mind.

I just come back to work with wet shoes... :biggrin5:

 

Everyone is doing the blackout look...I figured I would go for the boxout look...

 

On the way home from work yesterday...



Got the 9-high straight.

 

The lines at our car wash were round the block both yesterday and the day before, but I managed to find one that wasn't backed up too badly and got my Clubman wa(r)shed too......nice to get most of the layers of salt off before the next storm hits......

 

Those are some very nice photos !!
