I think Johan deleted his account. Last I heard Gintani was disbanding and giving up on MINI's.

I hope that things are going OK for Johan and his Gintani build. It would suck if they are (still?) having problems.

Competition is good for everyone.

Actually I'm pretty sure they did. I know a few people who are friends with them. That's what I've been told.

Since they are a registered vendor - couldn't the moderator step in and confirm the actual situation rather than allow this guess work to continue?

I have no doubt that Gitanni doesn't monitor the board after the warm welcome they received.

What registered vendor means

is that the check didn't bounce. If they stop paying, that designation will go away. Till then, the best way to know for sure is to all thier business number.

I don't think it was quite that one-sided, but alas, here we are.

At the end both sides behaved badly but they came to our sandbox and well lets just they were "bullied", making it "appear" that they were not welcomed.

Personally, I would love to see a complete gitanni set-up on a car. I very much liked the air/water IC design. I found the minimization of "horn" work interesting and appealing. I would love to try one but I'm on my 4th IC and the word "intercooler" is no longer allowed to be spoken in this house.

Well, bart...if you want you could tell your wife that the Gintani is an intake manifold... and a bonus is that it has an integrated intercooler...
