I've settled up with Helix. So I hope to have the FMIC by Saturday. If so, I'm gonna try real hard to find time to install it this weekend. Can't wait!

Cool, the unit for the 09 JCW is on it's way. One piece at a time. Need to baseline the JCW on the dyno before the unit gets installed.

Should be here next week, have a great 4th everyone.

Man, I met someone a few days ago who highly recommended the Helix IC. I was here at the forum to see what I could find out about Helix. It looks from this thread as if Helix may not be as reliable as we would want a vendor to be. Am I mistaken?

Waiting a long time for product. Not answering phone calls and emails. That sort of thing.

Sounds like I got a bad first impression from this thread. That's why I asked!

I understand, they do tend to be a little slow returning emails but they are definitely a stand up company. Don't confuse them being busy for them being a crappy company, they're great.

like orange said, they may be a bit slow on returning emails and not being able to reach them on the phone, im pretty sure they are slammed at work. fmic for minis arent the only ones they are making, they have 135/335i's as well. i waited a good 3-4 weeks for mine to come in, and i also ordered one for the 335i, and i waited about 2 months for it to come in. patience my friend, you will not be disappointed

Mark, Ralph,

Are these units arrived and checking out ok?

Possible final payment details and a shipping date soon?

Missed our track day this weekend on the JCW, don't want to miss having it on for our dyno time.

An update please.

Almost all of who has paid in full will go out today. Still packaging these up! There will be No shipments tomorrow because Fedex will be closed for the holidays.
