I was wondering if anyone knows just how low the intake temps get with the CO2 sprayer? I took the Mini out this morning, first time really this winter with the pulley, 16 degrees out and whoa! Just for the Heck of it I turned off the traction control and lit the tires in the first 3 gears. So, makes me wonder if that is the same effect that the CO2 would make. Anyone? :smile:

My old Chrysler LeBaron with the 2.5 Turbo had incredible power in cold weather, the torque steer could break ones arm!

Cold weather rules

BlueMCS-

Are those wreaths the correct offset? Or do you get rubbing?

>>cold weather rules, if you can get a hold of 94 octane gas. I still use 93 octane and the car kicks ***! My crappy Chrysler ran only on 87 octane (had no money for better gas ) and it was wicked! Kinda makes me feel good our MINIS have Chrysler motors, that engine was abused by me for 10 years, till the Mitshubishi turbo gave out. Yet the engine held up well.

Yeah, that's basically the similar effect as the CO2. It is a bit more than that, even in 85 degree weather. Fun Stuff. I'll be on a better gas soon.... :smile:
