Spring Pulley Party?
The snow is gone and my summer tires are on. That can only mean one thing - it's time to make my MINI go faster, stop shorter and turn better.
Anyone interested in a Randy Webb Pulley Party sometime this spring?
Randy said he would be willing if enough people were interested in doing pulleys, intakes, ECU, sway bars, wires, plugs, injectors, exhausts etc.
If you're interested, post here or go to http://store.webbmotorsports.com/for...opic.php?t=772 and post there.
For those who haven't been to one, it's a great chance to enhance your car as much, or as little, as you'd like. Plus, it's a really fun day of hanging out with like-minded MINI owners and learning a ton about your car.
I would honestly say it's worth coming by just to hang out and talk to people, even if you don't get any work done on your car.

Pully party?
Don't need anything for my car, but I'd come out to watch.

YES(?!) 
I'm going to be in Shaumburg on either the first or second weeknd of May (assuming my MINI arrives in time) to pick up my shiny new DS/B MCS.
I wanted to put a pulley/ecu/cai on the car, but handn't really expected it to be *that* soon...  But if all of you are getting together around that time I'd love to join and learn a lot about MINI's & superchargers! |

Yes, definately!
I'd be in for a pulley and one of the new Webb exhaust if it's available.

Hey Jeff,
Yeah I've been a busy/lazy bum all winter and never got around to getting my pulley installed. I guess I should do this soon so I can return you cable to you before you pass away from old age  |

Guys, I have all the tools, resources, and know how to do these pullies or anything else you need done for that matter . I have done my own, among others, with no problems. I am located in Kenosha, Wi and can travel or we can do them in my garage. I can beat anybody else's price on install, unless they are giving it away. Fell free to PM me if interested.....

When are you thinking about doing this stuff? I know I want to make some mods but I'm just not sure how soon I want to do it. I won't even receive my mini until next week!

According to the WMS forum, it seems we are in direct competition with Cincinnati to get one of the last pulley parties. So if there are any intrested people, please let him know.
Here's the link from above

I think the Chicago pulley party is dead because they are already filling time slots for the OH meet. I'm just going to get mine done at Euroquipe or Perfect Power sometime this week or next, depending on when the parts get in.

They only have three slots filled so far. Certainly not enough to get Randy out there. It seems quite possible to steer him in our direction since we have a number of people that have expressed intrest. Plus, I would love to attend a pulley party. Them seem like so much fun.

Chi Town
A city with three MINI dealers and we can't come up with enough interest to get Randy Webb to our area? Cincy...I went there for my pulley installation because there was not enough interest in Chicago 18 months ago. With as many MINI drivers as I have seen around lately we should be able to out bid the entire State of Ohio ! We have hosted 2 parties since our visit to Cincy ( Cincy and Mark had a great party by the way ), but neither have been large enough to make Randy any money. Let's at least assemble and out bid Cincy for one of the last parties!!!!

As I said on the Webb Motorsports forum, I'm in Lafayette, Indiana and would drive up to the Chicago area for a pulley install.

pulley party
Anyone good to host a party the May 20-21 dates? Once the location is set the posting can begin. There is more interest I am sure in Chicago. We can't host this one if it is a two day event....  . Anyone else??? |

Count me in, I'm still interested in a 15% pulley and an exhaust. I just wish I knew somebody who could host.

What would be required if I wanted to host this thing? We have a large shop, I guess I could move some cars around. We have a lift, it is a ramp lift like a back yard buddy. We have LOTS of tools and if all the other projects are out of the way we could fit 3 - 4 cars without a problem. Just a thought. I would have to make sure this is ok with the boss.
Oh, and I am in the west burbs.

Updated List
I took the liberty to make sense of all the different posts and compile a current list of all posters interested in a pulley party in Chicago. My current count is 8, possibly 10. Here's the list so far:
from WMS forum
1. DanC (bjerk) pulley+intake
2. Belatu-Cadros pulley + exhaust
3. Ivan1986 (Ivan C) pulley
4. atomtbomb pulley
5. Gabe pulley
from CMMC post
6. Dave Z pulley
7. Ernie (eecham) pulley
from NAM
8. MINI Mark pulley
9. Olen Ronning (o-ron) pending "perfect timing" 
10. Ivan C? not sure if #3 "Ivan 1986" is the same person
Let me know if I missed anyone.

still in.. but the timing would have to be *perfect*
I arrive in Chicago on the 24th and will be picking up my new MCS that afternoon. I can make either that evening or the next day.
Otherwise I'll have to scrounge up a Left-coast pulley party
EDIT: obviously don't try to work anything around my schedule... |
