You can count me in for a retune, depending on the date of this event.

I don't own a MINI yet, but I've been reading all these RMW tune threads and you folks have me completely sold. I read that whole 60 page thread on the flash tool yesterday (OK, I skimmed most of it) and by the time I was done I was ready to place an order. Went home and told the wife this is gotta have!
Unfortunately I have a long wait before I can get out from under some debt and save up a down payment :sad: ...maybe I should try selling drugs or something :wink:
Is there any reason why the RMW tune would not work on the 2011 MCS? I assume it is the same ECU, but with the new valvetronics?

Mark, seriously dude, we are gonna have to get together and go for a ride in your JCW...I am just down the road in Gastonia. It'll all be over then, lol!

No problem man, whenever you're ready. My bodyshop is less than a mile and a half from the 485 intersection and independence blvd.

The reason I'm such a fan of RMW is because of the results for what you're paying for. I've done the Stage I kit and there is NO WAY IN HELL I would ever go back. Not even close.

Anyway, come see me.

I was almost there sometime between 10 pm and 12:30 am last Thursday while waiting in the Charlotte airport for a really delayed flight to upstate NY after getting rerouted from Pittsburgh:mad: Flying sucks these days. Yet being so close to Roebling Road and not be able to do anything about it. Do they rent Mini S's at the airport?:lol:

Slartibartfast: as for buying a Mini, just do it. I bought one after driving my wife's just-a-Mini-a for a couple of years. That was enough for me. A ride in Mark's will probably just send you over the edge:nod: :thumbsup: If you survive the ride (mentally) just as about his seats that'll really send you over.

OC: have you seen any posts for a RMW tune in the Northeast? Don't tell Slinger688 I'm looking:lol:

Would a tuning help mpg? I have an '04 r50. If it would help my car I'm game. Where is the shop and what would be a first time tune estimated price? Also is there any maintenance that should be done right before a tuning to maximize the effect?

Damn, you want even more gas mileage? :lol:

Typically tunes do not raise your gas mileage. They usually stay the same...

That is, if you can keep your foot out of it.

I can get 34-35mpg on the highway if I drove like my mother. Around town, I'm averaging 23'ish. (28-30 if I drove like a normal person)

I dunno, it seems to me my mileage was better after tuning - that is after I had gotten over the initial joy and stopped driving with a lead foot.

No, you're right, I should have been more clear.....

Typically, (more so in this forum) the minis getting tuned are for performance.... Not for gas mileage.

You can burn more fuel after a tune as in more power but driven normally (no lead foot) it can get the same if not a bit more MPG!!! :thumbsup:

Well...I'm still hoping it will happen before year end. Jan is working on the AP maps, I know he's busy.
