Yeap, read it...ok, apart from Sebring..where else did RMW set records? Welldone to Ian and RMW btw

but answer me this...

what cylinder head, suspension setup, tires, brakes, clutch/flywheel system did Ian's car have?
surely this would have contributed more then the mentioned RMW parts (bar the Newman cam/Aquamist w/m kit)? and before everyone starts attacking me, im questioning this cos I honestly dont know...so please educated me...

p.s. what is Ian's car producing n terms of HP/TQ? Thanks in advance

First off, stop with the fake adulations... it's unbecoming

Here are the places where we have set records and not just with Ian
some are just Mini Records and some are all class records
Daytona
Homestead, Pro and Nasa
Lime Rock
NJ
Watkins Glen
SOW

soon to be Road Atlanta and Miller

if you REALLY wanted to know and be educated you wouldn't have "tried" to answer the question with YOUR perceived answer. Since you have no experience in this area, I don't think your opinion means much especially to a racer who has DONE it

so without further ado..... your answer to the hp/tq question is:
TOP SECRET it's a race car

bring your tuner and a car in that class and find out

watch for other records to fall as there are plenty of race engines out there now that will be racing later this yr in many different classes

Hard to believe anyone would actually fall for this baloney.
RMW, the reason Team RSR is so much faster .

Man, I know some of the best engine builders in GT1 and they would NEVER stoop so low.

How about everyone just STFU already and get a life.

Damn this site sucks more everyday. Go spend your money where you want to folks geez. Why the hell do you care if Jan sets records or not? Can you all really be so bored as to get on here all day and **** an moan? God bless the internet kings.

Sorry to rant in your thread LB. Car looks great!

LOL...hey guys if Jan said that RMW is the reason dat these cars are setting records, who are we (especially those in LB's list LOL) to question it heheheh..

But I have to agree with onasled, I still find it hard to believe dat the mentioned RMW parts (ermmm just the header n tune right?) are the reason for this record...hence my question to Ian n Jan...

Look guys the point here is that this is a thread about LBs Mini. Not a debate about RMWs track records.

Ive seen 3 locked threads about the same crap. If you dont think Jan is telling the truth who cares. If you have it in your mind that you are right and he is wrong then so be it. If you dont want RMW stuff dont friggin buy it.

I buy from Jan because he has been great to me. Lots of vendors have! Chad @ DT has bent over backwards for me but I dont slander Way because he is not Chad. Way has bent over backwards for me as well!

Just let this crap go already please. Stop being so biased about things already.

I swear its like you guys just love keeping this stuff going for your own pleaseure. If you dont like what someone else is saying then just ignore it already.

- How the RMW tune is better then Mynes/Emil's/1320 tune? (Claimed by Mr JB)
- and finally...whats the truth behind the smoke

actually, plenty of people would love to hear the truth. ask about number of failures - 100% chance you don't get an honest answer.

besides setting records on a track means nothing to the average joe (especially when the record is for a MINI....a rare car on the track so 'records' don't mean much)....just the vendor stirring up controversy. especially when the parts break within a year of buying them.

the whole us vs. them thing is orchestrated by the vendors themselves to drum up page hits. look behind the curtain, the mighty wizard is human and not very impressive once you have a look.

i am a customer of Helix's for about 5 years now and Eric recommends RMW. i will probably go with RMW when all is said and done when it comes to my new head and exhaust combo. i currently don't own any of RMW's or Mynes products. Am i to understand that if i just buy Mynes products you guys will finally all shut up? If that's the case can i get a Mynes sticker for my car and lets be done with it already. Back to the Rotrex...something i am interested in talking about. Peace

Sadly that's not enough because they will still find something. This is the internets, so don't fool yourself especially here on NAM were your epeen is bigger than everyone else.

OK

One more time.

If you want to talk racing and records we have a section dedicated to it here on NAM. Please feel free to start another thread so you can continue to chase your tails round an round.

This thread is about Project X-300

To get it back on track I will let the cat out-of-the-bag by telling you I have started my 1.8L Stroker build to bolt my Rotrex kit up to. I've dreamed of building this for some time. I have some very trick items going into it and I'm more then willing to share, post pics and give details along the way.

Thanks,

Bryan
