Mynes closing up shop in AZ?

So I was reading meth threads on the Evo forums and ran across this? Sounds like Mynes is indeed closing up shop in AZ and moving to SoCal. Any one know where the new shop is or are they just going to tune for Hubie? Are Mynes / Megamini / ABF / and Fireballed all becoming one new company?

Interesting stuff indeed.

Mynes Performance Shop Clean out.
Well as many of you guys know Mynes Performance is in the process of moving to California.

I am going through the shop and cleaning up. If there is anything that you need (mostly Evo parts) post up your request.

No shipping, local pick ups only.


I will do my best to monitor this thread.


thanks guys.

Man, where have you been? Mynes and RMW merged.

They've melted two cams together, and it'll be called the Newmanstick, or the NitroNewman, or the Newmanhubie, or, if you go with the new triple cam, the Hubienewmanstick....

If that's the case, I would imagine that Mike will post an announcement when the time is right.

I'm just wondering why they are trying to keep it on the down low in the Mini community while telling the Evo community .

So what are they going to call themselves now? This is all so interesting .

Zero class. <whish> Par for the course, so nothing new there. Mike will make the announcement, along with other exciting Mynes & ABF news just finishing up the move. Hubie & Jason are in England for MINI build-up and racing.

Does Mynes not have an e-mail address or phone number to reach them at?

Have you discussed all of this with your wife yet? I know you think this is so interesting and all.

I would be worried as well

This is good news indeed. Having both groups together in a combined effort to improve our cars is certainly a good thing . The Dynamic Autosport shop will be a great location with complete facilities , dyno included , to really put some good products together . It will be great to have another Mini resource in town , especially one with a legit buisness license

Is that why rmw sells their products without receipts? I think CA needs all the tax revenue they can get

Exactly he's talking about how Mynes could be changing their name since they are moving and asking why someone possibly hasn't tuned their car after a cam install?

I sure wouldn't change my name if my company had a great reputation among other auto makes along with MINI.

Seriously I don't understand the zero class comment? I found that post on an open forum so it's not a secret unless you only live on NAM. You can look at the responses in this thread if you really want to see no class .

So now it's ABF or is it MegaMini? ABF was going to be created when Hubie wanted to start a new company with Himself, Jan and another guy so I would be surprised if it's that.

Why do I find it interesting?

Well, Hubie has a shop he now works out of, he designed his own products and tunes ecu's now. So I'm not grasping at his need to bring Jason and Mike into things. They now have three guys that business needs to support and we all know the Mini aftermarket is small indeed. Maybe a new racing program? That would be cool. Also closing down what they've said was a very successful shop is a big move and makes you about things.

Like I said this is very interesting

I'm asking why JIMINI drove to SoCal, had a Cosworth BV head, cam and other goodies installed by Hubie and then didn't have him tune the car or run it on the dyno to see what the new goodies did?
