Good to hear your doing this Brian I know your just bustin on me about the "critique" thing, but I'd love to see pics of what you are doing with your car.

 

Actually I was only partically bustin you. I do respect what you are doing with the MINI. I just think you have an abrasive online personality sometimes. Which is fine. Makes things more interesting!

-Brian

 

I agree, Greg's like 30 grit online, and 1000 grit when you speak to him in person.

 

Now that's my kind of interior

 

So what's the lesson to be learned here? Only treat the surface with liquids? (as in wet-sanding?)

 

Any weight loss this past weekend by you guys?

 

I can only 'gain' weight at this point...

 

Sid .... who would ever had thought two years ago that we would be looking at pics like this ..

 

No comment!... Being I've been dateless for the last few weeks. (OK, months .. )

 

Dateless = more $$ and time for your project

Remember " you spend more time and money on your car" Days

 

Remember what Mickey told Rocky, "women weaken legs"

 

Good work so far .... I'll drink to that ... Who's with me ???

 

Larry, If you're talking about us, the answer is no. I spent the week on the left coast and wasn't home for the week-end. The next week will be spent in (hopefully) warmer weather we're I'll be sipping on some cold (diet?) drinks...

 

I was. Diet drinks? I don't think so.

 

Don't take this the wrong way Red Fury, but I'm with them...

Greg, did you get the pics I emailed???

 

No.... I've had computer problems, might have missed it .

 

Greg, any chance she will be ready for Mid-Ohio this year ?

NASA and BMW-CCA and PCA all have multiple weekend events there

We could meet up and I could help you in learning the track !!!

 

I can be there to take pictures again too

 

Really hope to at least be testing the car by early April.

Yesterday my engine managment man (yea Paul, this is you, whether you like it or not.. )went to check out the AiM Pista and I brought one home. Great price at $1640 if anyone is interested.
Paul and I laid out the wiring harness on my kitchen floor and started analizing just what we needed to save, what we needed to get rid of, and how much I may have already distroyed it. Yea, I've already removed about 30 lbs of it. Seems the Pista needs only the two Bus wires to feed it most of the info I need. Paul has the dash with him and will get it up and running on his street mini first.
Anyway, that's whats up. Unfortunatly the 'girl' thing is getting in the way again...

 

I looked at these last season. They do seem to be a good price for what you get. I think the red/white MINI in USTCC driven by Vesko uses this system. He seemed to like it. He did have a throttle cable rigged up though, so I am not sure you can use a stock TB.

-Brian

 

Vesko most likely was using an aftermarket stand alone ECU, hence the cable. He may have even been using the complete Motec system as that dash look very much the same as the AiM.
I won't have any issues with the factory setup, ..... I hope.

 

Hey Greg
Doesn't J-Propane use this in his car from what I remember At Mosport?
You have an email.

 

May have been. I keep kicking myself for not snapping photos of the interior/engine bay. He had some really good ideas (that I had not seen before) when it came to allowable set-up.

-Brian

 

These are all I have, and they most likely are not current....

 

That must have been early in the season. It sure doesn't look that clean anymore .

He also has a different display now(aim, motec-ish).
