^^ To SFL? Maybe Renntech does group discounts haha

 

Yes, near union square for the girlfriend and school.

But at this point I'm just being patient with getting a tune for my MINI.

 

being that i'm here in Miami, i'll be doing a custom tune from Lenny (Renntech) in the next couple of weeks. I just think that the back and forth of files seems a bit bothersome, at least for me, but to each his own.

 

Yes back and forth files is a bit annoying but for some, the only option, and thank God for that option or there'd be a lot of untuned cars and unhappy folks in the world.

 

I'm in Miami so RennTech sounds good since its nearby but I'm looking at MINI Dynamics to come through for the N18! If its cheaper than RennTech then I'm sold.

 

+1

 

I would love to check out your car after the tune if you have some free time
I don't know any MINI people in miami

 

definitely! I'll be getting it done in about two weeks. Lenny is a bit busy right now. Last I spoke with him he was working on a tune for the new 550i and a couple other cars there. I am in the kendall area.

 

 

8 more days!


Just read their new press release from three days ago. Can't wait to find out all the details.

 

Looking forward to it. Rereading the PR this thing sounds a lot like the AP. lets hope it has the ability to do more than flash maps like the AP as well and I'd really like to see more openness with map availability and tuner access. That really hurt the AP in my opinion. Simply releasing tuneraccess race for the MINI could have ensured more sales and ease of use long after support ends.

I'm curious to find out who this unnamed aftermarket manufacturer is.

 

I'd have to guess that Oettinger might be the German company involved, based on the wording within the PR from MINI Dynamics.

 

Yeah I think so to after doing some research on it. I was curious to know if they are legit! Only three more days basically til we find out the verdict on this product, I'm getting excited!

 

If this product looks legit, maybe a group buy can be arranged....?

 

patiently subscribed

 

Is it Monday yet?

 

Yea Im anxiously awaiting Monday to see how many questions of mine are answered.

 

^ What he said.

not sure about the piggy back thing...

 

Yeah about that...

No way am I ever going to buy a tuning chip, that's just asking for trouble. I'm now going to inquire about Evolve's tune. Brentuning, NM, and RennTech are also in the conversation. But NM is my last resort. The two most intriguing tunes that have my attention is BrenTuning and Evolve.

As we all know RMW is difficult to get a hold of but if he can come in August to Detroit Tuned, I will certainly give him my services.

Sucks that we all got sucked into thinking a OBDII was coming out since they used the expression, "best thing since the Accessport". Oh well.

 

I know that I am one of those 'awful' automatic MCS guys, but the AP had some issues with shifting that made the car feel undrivable. I wonder if any of their test vehicles are automatics?

It is nice to be getting options for the N18 guys, though.

Have fun,
Mike

edit: the shifting was smoothed out by adjusting the tune, I don't want people to think that the AP was junk with an auto. Just pointing out that the engine tune affects shifting on an auto.

 

Bahahahaha

 

What a bummer.
