I cant think of anything better personally for the community, 3 great minds pushing the envelope of the MINI family.

Also I haven't laughed and learnt so much in 2 days

I'm not the only one on here that would like to see the numbers you put down.
The new shop is the same old rented space Hubies been using in the back of Dynamic Autosports. It's their Dyno not Hubies or Mynes .

No need to let these guys have a look at my car . Church is a very reputable dyno here in SoCal. So much so that Johnny used it for his MegaMini turbo car hoping it was a high reading dyno only to find out it reads very close to Dynamic Autosprts Mustang . The list of people who use Church is long. Like M7, Hondata, Kraftworks, Jackson Racing and and and. They are the dyno of choice because of their consistency. In fact Hondata used their dyno to tune their current land speed record holding "rotrex" powered monster .

Partsman if you want to talk hype, please help me to understand how Mynes tunes M3NTALS car in 114 degree heat with Hubies stage 3 head and steped header on their "low" reading Mustang dyno to 260hp and 192ftlp's while Hubie tuned a customers car with the same head, header and basic mods on his rented Mustang dyno in 20 degree + cooler temp and only got 221hp and 182ftlb's on his rented Mustang dyno??? That's a huge 39hp and 10ftlb's less with the same basic cars. Now that's hyped . I look forward to your answer explaining how this can happen. When you answer can you also please show me what kind of HP your car is making these day's. With all the smack you keep talking and all the things you've done I bet your car makes huge HP .

Can't explain it because I wasn't there and i'm not Hubie. The only thing I can think of would be a Monday car and a Wednesday car.

I would show you, but my two year old broke all the crayons ...or does Jan use colored pencils instead?

Great post Joaquin. That's what I was gonna say. I'd like to see the alleged 330whp as well. Show up for free pull(s)? 5min away from the house? Sounds like a no-brainer to me & as LB would say "it'd be good for the community".

Come on... show your bragging this time now. It's free and it's in SoCal. ...
My guess is, again, no show everytime they are challenged just like in the May time attack.

Lets think. Whats hot and what does Dynamic Autosport do?? Drifting . So maybe a rear wheel drive converted drift Mini. Now that would cool.

Or?????

Myne's and Hubie etc. will be using part of a very large building which Dynamic Autosports in based in. The motorsports endevors of one company does not dictate nor influence the direction of the other. If you were honestly thinking you would of course know that.

LB, you know what they say about 'ASSumptions' = Gotta think "OUTSIDE THE BOX"

Nice try though, but that's not the correct answer

If Dynamic didn't have a Mustang Dyno, i would relocate my dyno to his shop in less than a hearbeat.... we can use their dyno anytime we wish, so what's your point?

BTW, we at least have an office and shop space that we can call our own... we could have done a "Home Office", but that wouldn't look too professional, would it

cheers

C'mon Mike...you don't want to have to bring all your orders to your friend's/partner's other business to get them shipped out? That's about as professional as you can get!

this is just gotta stop now. i've been saying for a while now, that Helix is my tuner and i trust Eric and those guys and their opinions. If they say RMW i'll probably go that way, and vice versa. Eric has been telling me about how great the RMW stuff is for like 2 years now. LB, i trust that if the claims that you and Jan make are true, it would be great for you guys and the Mynes team to have a "Dyno Day" and put this s**t to rest. Now that you're all neighbors and what not. Either way, what Jan and Hubie have done for this community and the development of the aftermarket for our cars is awesome!! Can't we all just get along?

P.S. Lots of credit to Eric @ Helix and Peter and Randy @ M7 too!

Simply put, the answer seems to be a resounding "NO".

Gotta hand it to the folks in this thread. In 48 hours you have reminded me why I have come to rely on direct face-to-face communication, or the phone instead of hanging out around here. Maybe I'll be back in another 6 months or so....

Peace.

Home Office? Is that so.

This thread was started to malign the public that Mynes has closed due to poor business, isn't that right? Somebody just shoot himself on the foot, now that we know the involvement of Mini USA is part of the reason why.

Mike & co., don't get distracted and continue the good work. We have seen new vendors that have been attacked and pounded many times by the same group pretending to be supreme.

Yeah we just sat back and laughed about this thread he started. Nothing else better to do I guess?

Here in the U.K. now, I have to say... these MINI owners out here are hardcore about their MINIs and actually run their cars on the track instead of talking about dyno numbers. I am enjoying myself, and can't wait to get back to Cali to get the R56 tuning/remote tuning software done as well. Good stuff!

Trust me ED955S, we are not going to let these people/person distract anything. It's all good

It is one of the best put together MINI's out there period. If anything, I'd say the thing is under-hyped!

I was also there for the tuning of it...on the 330whp night.
