Hello from GTB Performance!!



Hi Guys and Gals!

My name is Rich and I am owner and general manager of GTB Performance. I wanted to stop by and say hello to the Mini Modding community. We have been involved with the BMW modification community for some time but we finally decided to stop being shy and pop into North American Motoring.

As a two time mini owner myself (03 MCS and 08 MCS JCW) I've always enjoyed the awesome and fun characters who drive Mini's and I think there is tons of potential for these little track monsters. My 08 MCS was only slightly modded (Thanks to Doug Whalen!) but I hope we can make your Mini's even faster than they already are!

We are also partnering up with ARDesign on a new downpipe for the Turbo Mini community that should provide FANTASTIC gains at a very reasonable price, while still providing an amazing quality product. We also sell the following brands :

Akrapovic, Eisenmann, H&R, Eibach, ARDesign, BBS, HRE, Hotchkis, KW Suspension, JRZ Suspension, ST, Vorsteiner, 3D Design, BMWPedals, ESS, Brembo and Stop-Tech just to name a few.

Not all of our products are up on the website yet, so bear with us while we get up to speed. If you can't find something on our site please let us know. We are happy to find parts for you even if we don't stock it ourselves!

Please give us a call at 973 429 2839 or shoot us an email at sales@gtbperformance.com and we'll do our best to help you!

Thanks for making us feel welcome!

Oh, and here is a quick shot of me with Frederick at the dealer in Princeton!


Happy Motoring!
-Rich

Qbear, glad to hear it! We hope to have at least 50% done by tomorrow morning. We'll be adding new products weekly too! We can't wait to get the ARDesign downpipe out to you guys though, this thing is going to be special!

Hey guys

We are looking for a 2007-2010 Mini Cooper S for some testing in the Denver area. Our partners at ARDesign are building a Downpipe for the MCS and need a kind soul to swing by their place for free pre and post install dyno runs. In return you'll get an amazing discount on the downpipe once it's released... Andrew may even buy you lunch too!

Give me a call at 973 429 2839 to set up a time!

Welcome Rich. Would REALLY love a good down pipe. Maybe you guys can work on tuning the N18 engine in order to prevent CEL's. Another company doesn't seem to interested....

Off to your website!

Have you found a tester for the new DP in Denver yet?

I have a broken R53 so I'm not your guy but, maby you could try posting this up on the MINI5280 part of the forum. The club (or atleast the pres and I) are trying to get a dyno day going on March 19, so it might work out for you.

Welcome to the forum, it's always nice to see more aftermarket support.

Wow I find that very strange. I hate having a CEL on in my car and I certainly would want any tune I use to be able to clear that. We have connections with a couple of ECU tuners (ESS, Burger and Procede) who do updates and their systems do get rid of that annoying CEL. I'm going to speak with them on Monday and see what they have in the works. Burger almost launched their tune but they held off because of low interest... but it would certainly be a lower price point than said company you mention

Not yet sir! MINI5280 is CO? Awesome. I posted in the local forums for that region but I didn't realize that sub-forum was part of it.

Thanks for sharing!

What you missed us, we base out of the front range.

I have an 07 that might be a good test vehicle, I will look at your thread and see if I'm interested.

Depends on the downtime and the driveability.

Send me a pm with details.

Don

Not yet. We don't have access to a tuner for the 2011+ MCS yet.
