And that wheel of friction could have paid a lot more than 5$ lol

Back to the tech side of this... BahamaBart, didn't you feel a little lag with that new mod? I think it's due to the huge size of some pulleys that were installed in that place... More boost, but a some lag too... I guess that's the downside of going bigger...

Hummm... Bart & I need to do some more "tuning" on this before posting the final results... But it's a great "mod" and hopefully, we'll set up a group-buy in the near future...

ugh I hope not. Everyone is being well behaved
I just visit your Myspace page and I remember that my borther showed me your MINI before... Very nice MINI btw.

My bro's AudiZine nick is "A4ABT"...

Now, drive that MINI more than the A4, and enjoy real motoring experience!

No you're not a sucker... You are just a MINI driver in search of the latest performance mod...

Bart, you should know that to Twincharge is the only way to go... But you got to have some good silicone (hoses that is) to keep all that boost away from leaks and other issues...

I think DarkMini should be careful using these tools while working UNDER the car, I would hate for him to reflect on where he got the tools and get stuck under the car!

I wonder if this is how Randy got his tools for those pulley parties?

On another note perhaps, this will lead to a Dragon type of event . No twisties, no straights just vale parking! I bet at this type of event; we get Randy's pulley install times way, way down.

Hey, didn't you ever watch the episode of the King of Queens where Doug talked Carrie into take Pole Dancing Lessons. He was so excited he BOUGHT a pole in put it in the bedroom

Much cheaper buying a pole than all that tipping

just get a fire pole installed in your house. Then you would have more than one use.
