Revolution MINI Works (Jan) Tune Event - CT

The date is May 21st, just got the confirmation from Jan.

Any New England/Metropolitan people interested!? Let's get this going so we can give Jan numbers for the tune when he gets to CT.

People getting tuned on May 21st, 2009 at TheShopCT.com starting at 8am until finished...Jimmy put the entire day aside - even if its past 5 o clock.

For those of you who want to do the meet and greet before we venture over to the shop, we will meet at
Stop and Shop grocery store at 7:15. We will depart to the shop at around 7:50 because its only a few minutes away. See you then!

Google maps for GPS.

Jan excepts all major credit cards and cash.

1. DTSoccer6 - R56
2. KillerFox - R56
3. MrB - R56
4. FrenchyR53 - R53
5. Minipolack - R56

I'm in Rhode Island and It's like a 2.5 hour drive. But I don't think I can afford $800 right now when I only have an Intake. Do you guys think I should wait until I at least got an exhaust to get tuned.

I think that you may have a better shot than those of us who went with the route of getting parts. Just look at what the stock car pulled! Here's my theory...

It's like having a mac vs. pc. A mac is built by mac and therefore any upgrades done to it will usually be flawless. Basically, the stock MINI is built to work flawlessly by MINI. When you take a pc and have components from all over the world installed in it, you get issues and failures. Basically, those of us who modded the car MINI built have a worse off chance of having the ECU upgrade work most effectively.

I hope and know Jan is addressing this issue and we should not worry, but those of you with stock cars have a better chance of it working vs. getting more power. Just something to keep in mind.

I'm not sure if there is one at LRP, the LRP website states nothing for the 21st. The SCDA schedule says they will be at NHMS for the day of the 21st.

Any other HPDE that you know about that I don't? If there are, you better tell!!

I could not fine one at LRP on May 21. Thought you may know of one that I did not.

This is a good place to check:

Okay people, Jan said May 21st for sure and it depends upon scheduling whether or not he can tune other days.

He will be in CT from Thursday to Sunday. We need to start getting a head count for him, make things go smoother. I will update the OP with people who are going.

Didn't even cross my mind that you have a 53, what kind of power did you make?
