But until then...we have to wade through a whole lot of variance to find the 95th percentile.
You really have no idea what you are talking about!

Haha...yeh, there's a certain insanity to drilling holes in an otherwise working intake pathway to collect temperature and pressure data. Every time I get a large destructive tool out and put it against the Mini I wonder wtf I'm doing. Over the years I've done it quite a few times so I'm used to it I guess.
As for Nitro...you're in another category all together! What's beyond "totally freakin insane modder"?

Oh yeah DocPhil. Harp on Mark for the garage.
Well, as a Texan said once about raising his son, "We're not raising boys, we're making men". And no, in my book, everyone doesn't get a trophy. Let'em cry.

I don't think 95th percentile is the right description. The hardcore outlaw bikers call themselve 1 percenters because they are more hardcore than the other 99% It should be called "The 5 percenters" if you are talking about the hardcore modding crowd

I know on some other car forums they're considered the 'heavyweights' too The cars that just make your draw drop when you see them....lots of hard work and unique mods rather than just loading up on 5 minute mods from MOSS Mini and Ebay.

This is one of the remaining threads that has not been polluted by a few who make negative comments and hollow accusations in regards to others. That is unless you have been solicited to do another bidding in there absence? Do you think you can try to keep this thread upbeat and positive!
I will remove this response when you remove yours.
Nitro, throwing stones about behavior on boards after the "JRSmini" incident a few months ago is pretty brash.

So now to the ECU re map. I run a MTH. But it is now going on 3 years. So I may change just to update a bit. I still like the idea of owning the changes on my own cd is a good idea. Remember None will really effect the NOS anyway. I suppose if you want the highest HP at the red line then RMW seems to have the best option. But he is not set up yet to remote flash. If you want to be a little conservative and safe look at Evo or MTH or ………………






WOW go figure a recommendation to RMW
The NAM public record says that it was you. If it wasn't, I suggest that you argue to the admin team that the thread be noted to reflect any changes in their findings because it reflects very poorly upon you and your credibility on this forum.

STOP IT NOW


Another thread ya'll are dragging to hell.

Why does this seem to follow wherever you are Nitrominis?

Every single thread you post in turns into a fight. You bring out the worst in people, now you've tried my patience to the point were I am about to ban you because you are the problem. All these people follow you around. Get rid of you and my problem is solved. So either tone back the rhetoric now or go away.

Don't bother PM'ing me with your side or to drop names of people from IB that you will report me to. I will gladly give up this volunteer position.
