RMW / Jan coming to Portland, OR Area

Hello NAM!

Also posted here, but r53coop suggested posting in the General area too:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...land-area.html


I'm looking to have Jan from RMW come up for a live tune in the Portland metro area - renting out the dyno at PSI in Hillsboro. We'd need at least 6 people to make his trip worth while - at $350 a person for Jan's tune plus $150 per car for the dyno time. I have 3 solid confirms (including myself) locally and possibly 1 more. If anyone is interested, please post and/or PM me so we can get a conversation going about timing/schedule and lock Jan in. I think he is a smart man for not booking his flight until at least 6 people have paid and the date is locked.

Cheers!
Mitch

I had Jan tune my R58 JCW at the Dragon a couple of years ago. Best money you'll
spend.

Does the mini have a "tuner" that can be bought to store and install diff tunes as needed?

Jan sells a flash tool (that gets VIN locked) that you can load different tunes onto. Tool is $300, tune is $350.

I only recently purchased the car. It has a tune from Mini Madness, could that tune be stored on the flash tool as well? I'd like to have an option for a more aggressive tune than I have, but am unsure how aggressive my existing tune is. Its "STAGE 2" according to the paperwork.

No idea, why don't you contact Jan directly to see what is possible.
