    So if I come into some cash I’m definitely doing this motor job to my mini because Lorenzo is amazing and knows his stuff and these are an everyday driver at 450-500 WHP that are reliable!!

    Very interesting. Really like that he stresses what is needed and not needed to reach different horsepower goals.

    What is wrong with you? Why did you post that? Are you trying to get me in trouble?
    I’m getting the Helmet back, a man can only over come so much temptation!

    What’s the problem ?? It’s not like you have other toys to drive ….. whoops, you have a slew of other toys to drive whilst the Helmet is being retrofitted with more power. I’m beginning to see your dilemma…. Perhaps you can mention to your most understanding wife all it would take to make all this happen is the selling of her VW. :rolleyes::D:D

    I have been advised I can keep it but something will have to go, the bug is not on the list. Even at that an engine build may be a hard sale. It does have a light RMW tune and with the cat less down pipe it runs well.

    Gave GIR as bath Sunday. I wipe down with towels and hit the wheels, grills, sideviews and emblems with the leaf blower.
