Justin-
How dare you!!! LOL!

I am still around. Is still in my ownership and runs just dandy. I have had zero problems with more than 12k miles on the conversion. I just got done with a clutch replacement and am planning on the standalone later this summer/spring.

I just don't post much anymore. Got too tired of the armchair quarterbacking of these types of projects......now if you want to talk Ducati projects I have something for you.........

I was denied my 748 while I was living in Italy. I had one on order along with the BMW. But the wife nixed that....the Duc is dead for me. But at least I have the BMW. Ive moved past the Mini onto the BMW. I can render better results and better motor gaiins for the price.

I have a question for AZMCS. I didn't feel like reading through all these posts to see if this was brought up, but was wondering about your Alta crank pulley. I noticed it has a bronze almost coppery color to it. Is this what happens to them over time, or did the color just come out like that when you took the picture? Just kind of curious.

Well...I can pull 330HP with $4K. Up from 184. The AA kit even comes with an oil cooler and intercooler. ECU is already mapped. PLUG and PLAY. The only things I would add would be a boost, EGT and oil pressure gauge. I already bought an M3 bumper and am looking for a Vorsteiner lip. Then Im gonna mold em and shave the fog lights. Plus, I already have an in on K-Sports and BBS's.....sooo.....Im pretty much done with the Mini... )
