Y'all as a group have brought this site down to the level where you snipe at each other incessantly. If thats what you want, fine by me. But if you are going to do that and then try and hide behind moderator skirts by reporting posts that give it back as good as you gave then yeah, I'm gonna call you out.

JIMINNI - there is no reason to post about all reported posts. The vast majority of them are still reports of posts in the wrong location.

 

For the record I am not a little internet punk. I am a 40 year old man that acts like one and can dish it out when I get it for no reason. I had an opinion and I voiced it. Ok tough guy?

My only original point was (See post # 87 below) and still is I did not and do not agree with one person personally slamming a vendor. I do not care who the vendor is RMW, M7, Alta, Detroit Tuned, Helix or TSW and Mynes.

Post # 87


Forget this guy a his 1SlowMini it is not worth your time.

For the record I do not know Jan, (except for talking to him on the phone) and I am on the other side of the country but I know his parts are A+ as I have them on my car and I am very satisfied. I have had no problems with any of his parts below and I have also had them installed at Helix in Philly and they are also an excellent vendor.

 

I am done now and I will wait for JAN to come back east for him to do my tune.

 

I never once insulted jan with rude comments but was making clear opinions on past experience I've had as well as pleanty of others. I sent the mods a message that I guess means **** to them about site rules and disrespecting others. I'm not the only one who have had problems with jan but since it's just me in THIS thread I'm bashing him for no reason? You guys must have blinders on or just that arrogant to not know there really is a problem here that doesn't lie with just with me.

And chili. I don't care how old u r but ur comments make you sound like a lil punk.

 

Thanks!

Everyone always forgets that it is an auto. I think subconciously nobody wants it to be.

 

Thanks! I appreciate that.

I agree. I tend to do suspension all out first, with other random little cosmetic and power things thrown in during. Then I move on to power.

 

Jan and his fabricator designed and engineered every part of my kind themselves from scatch... My post said nothing about Oscar building the kit. His involvement was tech support about only which was a big help. He really knows and understands the Rotrex. Hell, his team recently set 3 land speed record in a Rotrex powered Acura RSX.

Kraftworks is a multi million dollar business. They do not make one off kits. They also only make kits for cars that have a real market were they can make money. That's why they are making kits for Honda's and Miatas. They say they spend close to 100K and a year of time developing each kit. Then they have to market the kit and sale a good number to turn a profit. It's big business. The amount of guys willing to drop big $ on a Mini is tiny compared to other car brands which makes spending big $ to develop a Mini kit not such a smart business model.

Anyway I just wanted to clear that up.

Longboard

 

Thanks guys- A most entertaining lunchtime read

Who needs soap operas when you can go to NAM and have guys demolish each other over a cam shaft.

Life is good

 

Don't worry Frank,your mcsa has loud, violent sounds coming from just in front of your rear passenger wheel!!(not many Mini owners can say that)
...auto or not.
....whatever the horsepower,it's a screamer!
As far as people commenting on power mods,I think very few even understand how the mcsa drives(what its quirks and idiosyncrasies are),let alone how to get the most out of the car(mod and tune wise).
I would like to see mcsa drivers comment more on auto specific power mods.Hell,why not our own subforum!....MCSA Engine Perf.??

 

Sorry but I have to reply to your simple a$$ again. I know the attention just makes your day and I find you quite amusing so here we go.

You know people like you are the reason the internet and web fourms should require at least a HS education. (I don't care how old u r but ur comments make you sound like a lil punk) Come one at least spell your insults out for god sake if you are going to contimue make them.

Oh and nice post count I bet you dont have that much invested in your piece of ***** car. You know I feel really bad for you becasue you are are just another poor idiot that can not afford to have good mods done to his car and crys about everyone else that does.

In case you dont know moding is a pay to play hobbie and you cant pay so dont go crying about others that can. You are also the reason I would like to see the NAM be a completely pay to post site. After (5) $1.00 post and you would be broke.

Please stop telling tails and spreading gossip and other 2nd hand information you really know nothing about. You sound like just another crybaby that wants to take on the whole world but does not have a dime to do so.

For all you know (or dont know) I could be the president of some company that supplies parts to the Mini Comunity. If so I would never want you as a customer you because you are another poor NY whinning little b!tch that can not afford what they want.

Ahhh that was fun, have a great weekend and I hope you do not get hit by a bus on the way to your job making fries.

 

lmao ( laugh my *** off )... I didn't know ( you're,your and little ) were insults but ok. Let me first start by saying YOU'RE still A LITTLE PUNK who know's nothing as your statement just proved about who you are. I didn't know spelling out words on a forum proved someones eduaction or made a difference in what they meant but since it bothers you so much I'll make it my goal to spell out every word i say to you. If you'd like to check my post's you will find I try to be helpful to other members on this site when they need a question asnwered. Maybe that comes from my 8yrs of BMW/MINI experience working for them and 16+ yrs in the automotive field which might contribute to that number. 2nd hand info or not , my first hand problems are a proven fact on the ******** that came from what i went through.

And now to my so called "pos car" ( sorry , piece of **** ) that has no modifications in it because I'm poor. I'll give you a chance to pull YOUR foot from YOUR mouth which wont make a difference because YOU'RE just another moron on here who likes jumping on the band wagon to feel apart of a conversation. ANYTIME you want to set up a day to meet at Englishtown for a run, please feel free to PM me. We can put a little wager on it and make a video of the run to show how slow my car really isnt. You should do good with all those fancy parts in YOUR signature.

 

im bored...

 

 

You are such a fool you can not even see it. I just want to thank you so much for proving my point like I knew you would.

With 8+ years of BMW /MINI experience and 16 + yrs in the automotive field you would think you would know how to tune your own car by now or at lease know you should have a FULL (Not almost empty) a tank of gas when you go to a Tune day. *******

You are just another internet idiot that opion that does not mean jack to anyone but yourself.

So I love you too sweatheart. Have a great weekend.

Can I get my large fry already please?

 

Funny how you did not catch my typos yourself kid.

 

im still bored...

 

*The phrase in blue is an incomplete sentence, and has no subject.

**This phrase doesn't make sense.

***eduaction A new word that has been coined by 1FSTMINI - definition is unknown.

[4]This is a run-on sentence.

^ "And" should not be used to begin a sentence.

 

 

You call over a 1/4 tank almost empty? who knew! So i guess everyone else on this site who has automotive experience who does not tune their own cars is an idiot? Dont see your logic there , but ok.

So answer my question and stop going around in circles with your cheap tatics. Take me up on my offer and run my poorly pieced together car to see how "cheap" you think I am.

 

Whats so funny about that. I'm not here to personally attack you for something that petty but I will strike back for the jabs. Im not an english teacher and this isnt a test either.

uh ty i guess.

 

1fast

Are you still at it. Seriously man we get it already. You don't like RMW.

Move on already. Oh ya, you made me smile when you called me "surfer boy". My mom used to call me that when I was 15. That 27 years ago.

Longboard

 

In real world business practice, it's impossible to please each and every customer. Basically, I guess the point is, 1FSTMINI was a sacrifice for the other customers to be happy. If Jan tried his best to help you out but couldn't in the end, at least he tried. My opinion would be to reflect on what Jan actually tried to do for you, if it was less than satisfactory at the time then so be it and spend your money elsewhere. If it was above and beyond what was needed, then props to Jan. Ultimately, you can't make everyone happy and that goes with every vendor here.

For example: Aesthetic Creations

There is a thread on here giving "props" to their products, but if you look in the CF group buy thread there are a few people who have had *in their opinion mind you* less than satisfactory customer service from the vendor.

All this bickering is just pointless; just because you've experienced a mishap doesn't mean that the foundation of Jan's reputation has been built on lies and stolen ideas.

Just something to think about...

 

Thanks LB.... So, from what Jan and you are saying.....the TVS is the way to go for me right? Just needs for info about it...still waiting for emails from you and Jan..Thanks

 

Totally!!!

 

you are asking for info that is NOT yet available. I only know what the TVS1320 does on a 2.0L

as soon as we can get a TVS900 and get it fitted you will get all of the info

since the M45 is 50-55% efficient and the TVS is 70-75% efficient you can almost figure it out pretty quick
