I have it on good authority that an exciting new product for our cars will soon be brought to market:
This is a brand new concept in CAI. It will force air directly into your
system giving you HP and TQ gains that have not been imaginable before.
It can be installed as is, or painted to match your color, or in
complimentary contrasting color.
This intake is engineered and manufactured to stringent standards
using only the best materials available. Build quality is fantastic,
with fit and finish surpassing most intake systems currently on the market.
A lot of time was taken making sure that fit and finish would exceed
the performance of all the competitor's models. Our goal was to build
an excellent intake at a very fair price point . . . and we believe we
are close to that goal.
It is currently being tested on several Minis. The numbers should be
out soon, but the butt dyno says: "Wow!". We were unable to install
a temperature probe for our testing. We did however, manage to
suspend a piece of skirt steak right over the filter element and it took a
lot longer to get to room temperature than without the new CAI.
Stay tuned for actual numbers and price. It will be available shortly.

Will you take a cashiers check for $6000? You keep what the scoops cost, take out for the shipping, and send me the balance?

Due to the Air Craft industry demands and short supply of carbon fiber stock the CF model will take additional time to manufacture and properly test. But I can guarantee that it will be a significant improvement over our v.1 stainless steel model. Please stand by for additional information. As always, it should be coming shortly.

Hey this all sounds mighty fine, but could you possibly consider a group buy discount?
And while you're at it, could your engineers work on a similar model for brake vents. My JCW calipers get so darned hot that they seem permanently red!

I hope you understand that we in no way guarantee that
your steak will get to med rare. All Minis are different and
the eventual temperature of your steak will depend on your
other mods. However, if it is your desire to have your meat
at the right temperature we strongly recommend the air flow
maximizer:
This product was specifically designed to work in conjunction
with our CAI. It is made of a high quality beer can grade aluminum.
The tests are at their very early stages, but the initial results are
promising. The patent pending design is specific to our product. It
maximizes the airflow, while maximizing the vortexes resulting in a
noticeable flow of air. Our initial measurements have shown
improvements of 10-20 CFM.
This will be offered as part of our system approach to the CAI.
Additional products are in the works that will make your CAI work
to its full potential.

And while you're at it, could your engineers work on a similar model for brake vents. My JCW calipers get so darned hot that they seem permanently red!
We already have enough interest in the product that
offering a group buy would take money out of our pockets.
The demand is so strong, as a matter of fact, that we had
to move our production facilities to a bigger Pacific Island.
Unfortunately we will not be pursuing this product for the
JCW brakes. We have found that JCW owner typically like
to stick to JCW parts and as such not enough of them are
interested in handing over their money for us to consider
them worthy of our attention. Should in the future enough
JCW BBK owners call us directly with promises of buying our
products we will gladly consider their groveling.
Will there be extensive re-engineering to fit the '07 models or can I order a v.1 series now with the knowledge that it will not only fit my present car but my next MINI?

Extensive re-engineering as well a well thought
out re-purchasing strategy was always a part
of our marketing approach and business plan.
I hope that answers your question. Feel free to
call me anytime. You will absolutely love this product.
Wow, Goaljnky, that's a bummer about the lack of support for JCW/craptastic brakes, but I understand.
On the other hand, the Air Flow Maximizer is the utmost!!! The design is a perfect tie-in with the OEM MCS exhaust tips! Flawless execution (at least on the prototype) and is vastly more true to the spirit of Minis compared to other mods, like that garish Paulo Uber (or whomever) hood scoop.

Grasp the CAI in both hands bend over as far.......................
I do not understand your negativity about our customer support.
Our records do not show that you have emailed, or tried to call us.
Please call the shop and we will be glad to talk to you.

You have to understand. Not enough people
have called to beg us for the JCW/craptastic
brake version. If enough people showed interest
to guarantee that it would be a profitable product
for us, rest assured that there would be small
Philippino children working on this already.
We are as excited as you about the Air Flow Maximizer.
We feel this will be a great addition to our CAI system.
Additionally, we have some items in the pipeline, that
believe me, everyone will want to put on their President's
day wish list now. Forget about the sheets and the linens.
This is going to be the one item your Mini can absolutely not do
without.
You piker. I have already covered, in depth, how to properly cook a steak on this forum.
I tried contacting you about this CAI today and your mail box is full. When I did finally get a live person on the phone she promptly hit on me.
I am starting a 50 page thread dedicated to dissecting your abysmal customer support and the fact that not only is your product a blatant rebranding, but that you stole my treatise on how not to overcook a steak.
Good day.
I just don't see how your post is relevant to our products.
While your steak cooking instructions are of general variety
and are targeted towards your middle of the group unsophisticated
owner, ours is clearly intended for the enthusiast with high level of
knowledge and expectations and is geared toward the high performance
skirt steak. Everyone know skirt steak is the king of all meats.
I have cleared out my mail box and am eagerly awaiting your
correspondence. Trixie says Hi and is looking forward to your
next call.
I look forward with anticipation to your thread as it will serve to
bring additional attention to our inovative and unique products.
If only you had used the word "adiabatically" because I would've bought a round for everyone on NAM!
It is funny you should mention that. Upon
its release the product will be marketed as
the "Adiabatic CAI" I therefore suggest that
you refrain from using the above adjective when
referring to other products.
But otherwise, you will love the new Adiabatic CAI.
...I look forward with anticipation to your thread as it will serve to
bring additional attention to our inovative and unique products.
As always we welcome all opinions.
This thread is driving me nuts. I don't get it... I need a forced-air JCW brakes air induction system and I think you guys are just dinking with ppl on NAM that you may think are fools... New Beatles have daisies on the dash, why can't new Minis have daisey-like forced induction systems, whether it be cai or for brakes? It's retro, it's cool and cute enough for girls, too.
And, who is Trixie and what's this talk about cookin' steaks?
You guys arn't for real, are yu?

I find the title of this thread to be misleading. I am the proud owner of a 1987 Plymouth Horizon and I have every exciting and new product already on it. I have posted a photo of my gem.

Reason: Spelling counts
This thread is definitely well on its way to setting the record for pages/numbers of posts.
I am going to have to carefully weigh whether to enable instant email notification option for thread subscription. I could see my BlackBerry getting overwhelmed if I do.
I hear what you are saying about your products but I'm just not buying it. I need REAL scientific proof or dyno numbers to believe what you are saying....
Here is the real question:
Will you post scientific data and dyno numbers on your amazing products? OR, just pretend that I didn't ask you any questions and play stupid?
