TULS and DOMINICCOOPERS you are great! Love the editing. Thanks for finally putting a video online. I think I am going to start saving up for the SPI kit now. I can't wait to see one in action at MOTD!!!

Suppose DominicMiniCooperS and Tuls went to a drag strip...assuming equally good tires, drivers, etc. where the only difference that matters is the hp you are putting down. How bad would Tuls beat DominicMiniCooperS? How are those internals holding up to 28+ lbs of boost?

It's interesting that you can talk all day about a MINI on the forums, but until you see it in action, it brings a while new light to things.

There's a shot where I'm on it completely...going as fast as I can. Then Zooooom....Tuls flies by. That's what an 80whp difference looks like in action. Tuls would make me look like I was standing still. His car is a rocketship. My internals are great as long as I'm running higher octane fuel.
