mozzarella,

I am not sure what you are getting at as Ryan has never purchased anything from RMW. It's like you are 2 different people, a nice guy on the phone and then someone who is taking underhanded jabs at me on the forum.

If you have an issue feel free to call.

I'm problem free, actually I'm three different people and it was Sid that the post was talking about. I don't think Ryan has a Mini anymore could be wrong hard to keep up with the fast moving Jesus crowd.

So true It all about the sharing information, meeting people with common interest and the journey to the end result.

I hope to hear it in person sometime cause it sounds like you found a good way to quiet the car down and I really need to do the same.

Very well said there.

I would not trade my Mini to a porsche or a Ferrari.

After my newly modded parts that I have installed and then visiting Jan and Danny hopefully later this month I think I can feel comfortable with what my car does and how competitive it will be going against those faster cars.
