When I want to "feel" torque I ride this. It's like a tractor

100Cu inch of fun. And yes, I've modified it all over.

Msfitoy (misfit toy) has been hauling *** with the temperature dropping into the 40s and I'm going through way too much gas...two tanks in two days at $3.45/gal... :impatient

Jan's coming out to Michigan for a tuning party and I've got first spot on January 9th...pray with me that it doesn't snow...

, wow, haven't seen this thread in forever. Hey Sid, I heard about the tuning day. Anything you could shed some light on for us who are about to tune? Was it something that can be avoided, or was it just bad luck for you on that day? Thanks.

According to Michigan MINI, it was vaccum leaks that ended his day.
