Flow installing aftermarket parts
While at Flow for the Aug 8th rally, I noticed that the 2005 Cooper in the showroom had HSport springs and aftermarket rims. Dealer installed. I asked Lee Davis about it and he said, "Oh yeah. We sell the crap out of that stuff."
I've heard of dealers installing aftermarket parts upon request (sometimes covered, sometimes not), but this is the first time I've seen it. And to see it at Flow makes me happy. Especially considering a couple of the mods I've done.

It wasn't really that hard. The instructions say to remove the intercooler (which I did) but I don't think it was necessary. The only thing the removal did was let me see where my hands had to go. It did not help me with access.
The stock tube was really snug at the fittings and took some doing to pull off. I was a little concerned that I wasn't going to be able to get the M7 tube back on.
Just keep at and you will get it.
You have to do this one by feel as there is no way to see what you are doing, you might as well be in the dark.
Hope this helps.

Can I be ignorant with you?
I'll definitely see you and Trainmama on the 28th. Can't do the Friday thing, but will be there Saturday. I'll be the one drinking Red Bull!! I'll need it to stay awake after going to have to get up excrutiatingly early! By the meeting my T-Shirt may be over my head, and I'll be running around screaming, "I am Cornholio, I need TP for my bunghole!"

Well Audioman... does your car have quicker throttle response now?

Well I don't think I'd do well in any double-blind study, BUT, the throttle response does seem smoother. Quicker... now I'm not so sure about that.
In the lower RPMs, first gear, the car would seem to bog, but not like the dreaded stumble, it just seemed sluggish. Since the M7 "device" install I haven't experienced this.
When I get some time, I an going to swap back to stock to see if this is just having some sort of placebo effect.

I'm coming up on my 25k mile service and I am very seriously thinking about asking Flow to install some decent brake pads (like EBC or Green or whatever they are called ).
Flow have v38 of the software yet?
