Setup is $35, then $10/pull. Dyno Days are $50 for setup and three pulls, and we just had one on saturday, you missed it!

The whole process I would say takes anywhere from about 40min to several hours. It just depends if you have a stubburn MR2 or GTI infront of you.... Seriously though, if you have no problems getting your car hooked up (which you shouldn't) then the whole thing will take less than an hour.

Normal pricing through out the week and weekend is $35 setup $10 per pull.
once every other month there is a "dyno day" which is $50 for three pulls (setup) included.

You can come down any time during the week 1-7 pm or weekends 12-5
we're starting to get some MINI parts out on the shelf. Looks kind of bare but, its getting there!

should take about 30-40 mins.

Hey Justin, hopefully I'll be able to dyno and start racing in the spring. I have a christmas present coming that will make my MINI louder and put down a couple more horses. If you can get it for me for the same price as another MINI store, I'll glady buy it from you.

-Cody I need more stickers!

Actually a Megan Racing header!

http://outmotoring.com/megan_racing_...er_header.html




If everything goes well I'll get it...lol. But yea Justin, Outmotoring has it for $200.

I still have to talk to my parent's more...but a full cat-back is sure to come later.

Hehe...I still need to figure out prices to see if I will be able to get it or not. I want to run without a cat, but aparently the Megan's test pipe has fiberglass in it that melts and causes a bad rattle within a couple of weeks. If that happends, I might have to buy a new test pipe or cat of somesort, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it. Plus I also need a 2.5" to 2.25" reduction pipe made, and an 02 simulator.

So...we will see! Wish me luck.

Any upcoming parts Ralph? Maybe a header for you to? Crank pulley? Or are you going to go big with the Twincharge?

Cody,
Run it with a cat. Reason being emissions.
While our area isn't testing emissions now, many other places around the country do.

No cat is for off road, leaded fuel, racing applications only. Not worth it on a street car.

Justin,

Videos look great.

But I'm not worried about emissions. I've never been tested, and I'll bet money that I wont be tested anytime soon either. And I might put a cat on, I don't know though, it all depends on money. Even if I get it for christmas, I won't put it on until spring time due to the weather, so I would have some time to save a little for a high flow cat.

We will see!

Hey Gerorge,

Possibly some Edgewater to Justin?

I'm planning on going down when it opens back up in the spring, along with autocross' with Ralph after I turn 18. By then hopefully I'll have my MINI payed off and I'll be ready to rock. Maybe I'll be able to catch up to Ralph, but if he keeps doing stuff that's it's going to seem impossible unless I twincharge.

Yea....lol. You have more money!

We will see how long that lasts Ralph. I just might not tell you and come in there and pull a 400+hp dyno run lol! That would be great.

I disagree. I believe there are gains to be had without a cat. And why would you spend money on a full exhaust or just a header and then stop the flow with a cat?
