The R58 is rumored to be AWD. I have no idea how the torque biasing works. I'd imagine it'd be a Haldex system.

pps: I don't want to misdirect this thread about one of RMW's many accomplishments. The Rotrex produces REAL results. RMW produces real results, with none of the BS. That is truly special, and that is why I am along for the ride!
I've been hearing alot about this "certain alphanumeric tuner". I know who you are referring to, just wanted to know if there are a few threads about this on NAM that I should know about and read up on and inform myself with the latest problems....anyone got a link to the thread covering this???

Longboard -
MINI's are made in the UK - it rains a lot there - it follows that MINI's work OK in the rain.


The Lamborghini Murcielagos will be there I bet.......

Longboard, even I have committed to going after saying about 100 times over 3 months that I should go.

I hope you have a real rain threshold, not some wimpy morning-mist-stay-under-the-covers thing.

Hope to see ya there. But if you're not, CFMINI and I will make up stories.

There are plenty, I don't care enough to be specific about it. There's enough drama in the other threads without creating it artificially...

For those that have been asking to hear the Rotrex here it is. Short bursts 1st threw 2nd then 1st threw 3rd. These are not full throttle runs and I'm shifting just a little over 6K. You can here the wheel spin a couple times through the vid.

Big thanks to Paul (astrochex) for the vid

That's funny because that is exactly what Jan said when he saw the vid for the first time.
