    ^^^ Exactly. It's so much more fun to subtly tell it like it is. Most there can't take it. I got ragged out by a guy yesterday that got pissy because I pointed out that the parts photos he posted were not able to be viewed. Not my fault he didn't know w-t-f he was do'n.

    Na it's better to be banned and not waste time on the worthless site at all.

    Well, I have been wondering if drilling a 17th hole in the hood scoop would boost horsepower without adversely affecting aerodynamics... :devil:

    Now that's what I'm talking about. A thread like that would go on for weeks, and tie in such things as M7 intercoolers, MSD coil packs, and Alta front control arms with no difficulty.

    And it gives you a chance to post a line like....I found a "how to" or the obd2 code listing over on another site, motoring alliance..... Er...************...
    Then play dumb and ask why you can't post a link to it!!
    If you all get banned...makes it harder to "save mini folks"...the good ones anyway...

    This.

    I enjoy the camaraderie over here. Would like to have more good guys to join us.

    They can keep the M7 addicts, though.

    Still testing, but I think I can confirm that the car might be at least 2 grams lighter after this mod. :idea:

    I'm pretty sure they have. North Koreans aren't the brightest as we all know, but they can inadvertently project themselves as cunning.:)

    I lurked there for quite some time before I bought my Mini but never posted beyond an initial introduction. Never liked the vibe there...

    Ever since IB bought the site its been on a downhill slide... When they started letting Mynes post under the BiteTronik name (everyone from Mynes was banned years ago) that was enough to piss me off.
    They know who it is but wont do anything because the IP address the account is linked to cant be traced to Mynes... Its on a Greek server... Can we say George (DreamMaker Mynes's european hub for their products) created the account for all of them to use!

    I was going through my spam folder and found all the PM's from Drew leading up to my ban... Some are quite interesting... Bunch of PooBags! :p

    I still play over there, but it's crazy what is allowed and then what isn't.. They do seem to pick and choose who to give a hard time too. I collected some "points" awhile back for mentioning speeding on the club drive that got 23 of us stopped by the HWP..

    Other vendors love MYNES/Beytronic (only HALF KIDDING)....
    They get folks to spend big $$$, have their cars blow up....then most of the owners spend $$$$ to fix it from other vendors....
    As far as getting banned....
    $$$ makes the world go round....follow the $$$...
    Same for WHY this sites name cannot be posted there...and maybe some Bad blood....

    You guys are pretty hard on the other site. I mean, I just read a compelling thread there on why it's hard to mod a Clubman to get Hardtop handling. And I learned that a magnet will help me learn whether or not the roof of my Hardtop is aluminum. I'm going back there now to find out if titanium nut implants will improve my reaction speed at the drag strip. :Thumbsup:
