Greg planted the seed that I should get the brown MINI tuned... and I'm tempted.

it can be done. What mods do you have on that baby? header and cam?

We can certainly make the car run smoother and improve on the drivability as well as the fuel trim... power gains won't be as much as the SC brothers :(

It's an HPDE / Time Trial car, not a street car anymore.

Unfortunately, not much in terms of engine mods. Just a K&N on the throttle body and a Borla exhaust. onsled has a header he's been trying to get me to put on for about a year now.

I'm not interested at the moment for a tune... Would love one but don't have the funds.

I may drive out there with the MINI that weekend just to hang out and watch the tuning

damn, just saw that you guys cancelled the tune!?!?!? I was just coming in here to say that I'd like to sign up for several reasons. Biggest one being its very close to home (25-30min)...second being I'm actually off that day and can make it! But I guess there just isn't enough interest in the LI area........too bad would have been a fun day

Hey,
No I'm just trying to get A tune. The Jan tune in PA is in the middle of the week And the one he just did in New Haven, CT (much closer) was only posted in the R56 boards...again Found out about it the day before it was scheduled and just too short of notice. Obviously LI is the most ideal so that's why I was a little upset to see that this one got cancelled due to a lack of interest. I'm going to put my name down tentatively on the other thread to show that I am indeed interested. Thanks for the link

Steve
