sounds like you need a new trans; first won't be very useful

 

I was all hot to get the 05-06 box but after driving the car for a few days in Nashville I think the old box is better for my personal style...... what I really want is a Quaiffe/spec2/flywheel...... I just may not use 1st

 

I spoke with Jack for a while at the Monterey Historics last month about the new UNIChip. There are many things that it will be able to do, and as Bob says, worthy of a separate thread.

I will say here though that it has a video out, like to a PDA for data display and will even let one (the end user) make fine adjustments to the tune. It has been in beta testing for months. It will not be cheap, and considerably more expensive than our first UNIChip...

Thanks for the M62 update Bob! Hope the header situation gets resolved soon also...

 

Then post the new thread We want to know more about it

 

BOB - you are a better man than me. I WOULD HAVE strapped dynamite around my body, locked myself inside the DDM facility and given Dave 48 hours to deliver the car running and in perfect tune or ELSE.

BUT as they say GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE THAT WAIT!

 

Thanks

 

Josh (Unichip) is flying in..... Dave (DDM) is bringing the "SpiderX" in from Greenville...... Waylen (Waymotorworx) is coming from Indy..... Peter (M7) sitting on his butt in LA with a good bottle of Pinot......pour a glass for me ( ) and we will start to tune hopefully by 9:00PM......

FYI Dave opened the box with the Meghan header and is very impressed with the construction.

Dave has a lot of parts that will compliment the 62 coming...... when they started with 62s on the Miata they were getting about 200whp..... with a variety of complimentary parts some guys are wringing out 300whp...... It is nice that Dave has been there before and has a good idea of the capabilities and what can happen..... it is also nice that he has taken the conservative/safe approach to max whp.... makes me feel better about long term reliability etc.....

hopefully I will have my car all next week to have fun with....

I will post probably late tonight

Dave and I will be at the Atlanta Minis event tomorrow and Dave will be at the race in SC with the car over the weekend of the 22nd.... all to answer questions and of course show off his "handywork"

 

This thread needs some pics!

 

This is going to be a huge thing for the install party this weekend! The Dave and the Bob and the M62 mule and the Way will be there. wow! Good thing lots of pics will be taken.

 

Dave/SpiderX,

Is there any kind of plan to include a custom ECU tune with the M62 kit or will Unichip be the only option from DDM/M7?

 

A bottle of Pinot.....
Bob, Dave I'll be thinking about you while have a glass.

I'll guess it's time to reveal the News that MTH and M7 has joined in the M62 venture to make a fantastic software package. We will be able to offer custom RPM files IE. So if you have the equipment to take 8000rpm (*****)... let us know and your wish is our command.

More will come shortly, but we are all incredibly excited about the whole M62 project.

You guys rock!

Don't ya want to sponsor me with one of those set ups Have car, will travel

 

wait wait, now i'm confused. is the software gonna be MTH or is the Unichip gonna be the preferred package?

 

Peter, et.al.,


The DDM/MTH/M7 combo will be easy to embrace.....Peter and Don have been working hard behind the scenes to bring a great package to market. the questions that Don (MTH) has asked me over the phone reveal that he is taking this project VERY seriously...... look for some nice work from MTH and Don.


To be fair..... Unichip will have info for maps to tune the 62 for those of you who allready own Unichips.....like me......Josh and Jack at Unichip are going way above and beyond to work with the kit. Josh is tuning the car tonight and my car will run Unichip..... The M7 demo will be MTH.....

Dave at DDM wants to remain "tune agnostic" to allow for the end user to make his decision.

 

That is very nice.

 

come on now...everyone knows the hardware guys and software guys are happy peas in a pod!!! At least that's the way it works in the computer world

 

i like the way this sounds. real collaboration and harmony between vendors. good stuff kudos to DDM, Don@Precision-MINI/MTH, and M7. and of course Bob (SpiderX) without you this obviously would not be happening.

 

I'll second that. This is awesome that everyone is working so well together to provide the final decision making power in the owners' hands. Bravo!

 

Life, Life...GIVE MY CREATION LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Waiting for Dave to get here.......sometimes Christmas takes a long time to come......

thanks for the kind words.....

 

I don't even have a car to put it on yet and i'm already going crazy waiting for M7 to release this mod!!!

Keep up the great work guys!

 

Hey Bob,

I may drop by the mod party when you're gonna be there.

I only live 10-15 minutes away.

And don't come down and look at the presents under the tree until it's daylight!!!

 

not sure when yet.....Waylan will tell me tonight what the hours are..... I would suspect by 1:00

 

Good luck with the tune today Bob, I hope everything goes smoothly

You deserve to have a great car after all this effort, and I am sure that it will be worth it.

Cheers,

Henry
