The time and execution on Jan's car is more my style than Mr. Garcia's, and i gotta say Mike i just don't think i trust you or your claims more than i did Jan's. similarities end there. So prove me wrong FastLane. prove you are just like Jan, no, better in fact, and come out with something to one up Jan's product line. products of your OWN. Just like he DID! then, only then, do i think you should continue slinging poo. you say you had a "TOONR" business once right? You seem to think you know how it can get done better than RMW. So let's see it. competition is great for our cars. i'll admit that i don't own any of RMW's products. but i plan on it in the future, because my tuner is Eric @ Helix and he sells and vouches for RMW and i trust and believe my tuner!
i don't see anybody else singing your praises here.

Sorry...long rant...horrible grammar.
im sorry...but how can you even closely compare a ricer to a builder/tuner.


its ok though...we have tons of these type of people up here. We call them cheerleaders....those are the ones who sit on the sidelines cheering others on while talking big but never back up what they say.

Note that you stated 4 years ago. I was 14 at the time . The MINI is mine, my fathers was grey, my mothers was pepper white. Nice try though

Mod list: pulley, intake, header, head, cam, 440's= 250, strange how saving money and using the correct parts make the right horsepower, where as some people buy everything out of the MOSS catalog.

And let me get this straight, you run around makkin a costant 240+tq 240+hp without any adders?

1FastMini,

don't think i understand your response to my post. Are you saying you don't think Eric@Helicx is a tuner? Or are you agreeing with me, in that Mike Garcia/FastLanetuning is not in the same league as Eric and Jan when it comes to TUNERS, and FastLane is a ricer?

Just for the hell of it can we get back on topic? It was an interesting product and I think some of us are actually interested in it . As it is now this thread is not doing ANYBODY any favors.

Thanks ,

The only reason that Jan's head makes power is because of the person who developed it who owns HONDA N/A records DRAG RACING

im 1FSTmini....not 1FASTmini. 2 totally different people.

and no. i stated you cannot compare a "ricer" aka Mike to people who actually build cars and RACE them when the car is done. Not show off meaningless numbers when the car isnt going to use them but just sit there and look pretty.

but yes...back on topic.

There no longer is a topic, just pretty much the same people pissing in the wind.

Repeated attempts to get ya'll to put it back in yer pants have failed. No one else wants to see a bunch of flaccid men standing around so to save them....
