mct[11/15/06 9:10 PM ]: i am sure it is

cabmeister[11/15/06 9:10 PM ]: hahahaha

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:10 PM ]: Yes we knew it would happen, and it proved that we are right with the design

mct[11/15/06 9:10 PM ]: well here is one – there has been much discussion regarding the M62 Supercharger…

mct[11/15/06 9:10 PM ]: How is M7 coming on releasing a product?

Will[11/15/06 9:10 PM ]: Though there are key differences in our DFIC that make it, in my scientific assessment, superior

magic_mini[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: yes I want to hear about this M62

spuds[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: how

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: Oooh. Good question, Pedro. Oh wait, non S owner here…

mct[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: sorry for those who don\’t know – Will is the official M7 scientist

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: Yes the M62 is very exciting

cabmeister[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: (MAD SCIENTIST)

dopamine[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: lol

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:11 PM ]: I am sure we will have some very juicy numbers by next week

mct[11/15/06 9:12 PM ]: nice

spuds[11/15/06 9:12 PM ]: how long has it been in the works nw?

mct[11/15/06 9:12 PM ]: Any timeframe on availabilty? (M62)

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:13 PM ]: expect the M62 to start trickli9ng in by December

mct[11/15/06 9:13 PM ]: wow – nice!

mct[11/15/06 9:13 PM ]: I heard pricing will be around $3500 – is that about right would you say?

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:13 PM ]: Christmas list, everyone. Get them out!

cabmeister[11/15/06 9:13 PM ]: wow as soon as that

spuds[11/15/06 9:13 PM ]: what software solution?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: We are expecting it to be around $3499.99 …

mct[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: ok – off by a peny

mct[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: LOL

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: Love the \”.99\”…

mct[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: any estimates on power increas?

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: forget the pony, save up for the M62!

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: We are doing something with MTH and Uni-Chip

minilisa[11/15/06 9:14 PM ]: a lot of people here are not fans of MTH

dopamine[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: sounds interesting

spuds[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: no dought!

djbohne[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: I\’ll raise my hand on that one…. just got home ..

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: power depends on what else you done to the car, like head, header etc

minilisa[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: can you talk about what you would do in combination with MTH for improments?

spuds[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: Talked with MTH yesterday and they said they are definetly not doing anything on the M62,

spuds[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: what comes in the kit for $3,499.99?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:15 PM ]: We do already have a M7/Cosworth software kit available

pepr[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: sorry for a dumb question (I\’m new to Mini) what is MTH?

minilisa[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: granted it was the heat of summer, but we had a couple of folks do dynos here in central fla with and without MTH with no noticeable differences

spuds[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: agreed

mct[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: ok – let\’s let peter type some replies…

magic_mini[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: Mth is a ECU Software basic upgrade.

spuds[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: mth is software performance tuning

mct[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: for those who don\’t know MTH – i can address that while peter types…

mct[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: or magic LOL

mct[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: thanks kerry

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:16 PM ]: No difference someone screwed up as we are getting a easy 16whp on the Cosworth car

magic_mini[11/15/06 9:17 PM ]: welcome

spuds[11/15/06 9:18 PM ]: 10-4

mct[11/15/06 9:19 PM ]: ok good

mct[11/15/06 9:19 PM ]: let\’s move on to user questions

mct[11/15/06 9:19 PM ]: first we have lisa

mct[11/15/06 9:19 PM ]: who sent her question in a while ago

EuroMin1Australia[11/15/06 9:19 PM ]: Peter or Will, I am in the process of ordering the Stage 2 Cosworth Upgrade for a client. Will the M62 be tested with a Cosworth Engine?

spuds[11/15/06 9:19 PM ]: new S/C? or components to help produce power?

Will[11/15/06 9:19 PM ]: Euro, the answer is Yes!

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:20 PM ]: Corey wew will have it tested

spuds[11/15/06 9:20 PM ]: should be no problem, a heads a head..

EuroMin1Australia[11/15/06 9:20 PM ]: Beautiful!!

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:20 PM ]: Hmmm

mct[11/15/06 9:20 PM ]: for those just joining us – Will works with Peter at M7

dopamine[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: so what was lisas question?

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: Hi Will! Didn\’t notice you there, bud. Sorry.

minilisa[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: about the USS

mct[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: yes lisa – go on

minilisa[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: hello!

minilisa[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: i\’m here

minilisa[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: live & in the flesh

mct[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: can you type it lisa?

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]:

minilisa[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: well so to speak HAHAHA

minilisa[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: yes

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: Will you have it on your car…do tell

minilisa[11/15/06 9:21 PM ]: I have the M7 USS and the Alta exhaust

minilisa[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: and i\’m having problems with my resonator bumping agains the USS when I\’m shifting out of first gear

minilisa[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: i.e. higher RPMs in low gears

minilisa[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: I have put on polyeurothane lower motor mounts

minilisa[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: and I have put in extra washers for added spacing

minilisa[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: but still bumping

Will[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: Lisa, have you seen where it\’s rattling? The main question would be does the resonator clear the brace?

Will[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: Front to back, I mean

minilisa[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: i\’m afraid of doing much more that might weaken the USS structurally

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:22 PM ]: Lisa call me and I will tell you what tyo do

minilisa[11/15/06 9:23 PM ]: but it\’s the main x-brace that\’s hitting…

minilisa[11/15/06 9:23 PM ]: ok peter, i\’ll give you a call

djbohne[11/15/06 9:23 PM ]: I just got the USS and I have a Milltek cat back… any issues with that?

PARTSMAN[11/15/06 9:23 PM ]: just remove the res

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:23 PM ]: cool

minilisa[11/15/06 9:23 PM ]: eh, i wasn\’t wanting to remove the resonator just yet

minilisa[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: don\’t want to be too ricey (no offense to those with their resonators removed)

minilisa[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: just not for me

mct[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: LOL

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: Just to add to that real quick…

dopamine[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: no offense taken

MINIATIC[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: do you have to drill holes to attached the USS?

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: Will, Pedro – in this problem, could it be an easy fix?

minilisa[11/15/06 9:24 PM ]: no holes to drill – a bolt on

Will[11/15/06 9:25 PM ]: Typically, it is an easy fix

MINIATIC[11/15/06 9:25 PM ]: tks

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:25 PM ]: Will a lift be \”needed\” or could we do it with jack-stands, etc?

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:25 PM ]: Depends on how \”slim\” the person is? lol…

Will[11/15/06 9:25 PM ]: Or how tall your jack stands are

mct[11/15/06 9:26 PM ]: robert has the next question

Will[11/15/06 9:26 PM ]: It\’s very hard to design something like that to fit with all possible iterations of exhausts, which you can understand

minilisa[11/15/06 9:26 PM ]: Pedro/Peter/Will, how can I get in touch with Peter after this?

EuroMin1Australia[11/15/06 9:26 PM ]: We have installed a USS in Australia on a customers car using the JCW exhaust, with no drama\’s.

mct[11/15/06 9:26 PM ]: lisa – number is at www.m7tuning.com

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: Thank you Will. Questions have been answered from my side. Lisa ok?

mct[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: you can PM me too – i have their number

dopamine[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: m7tuning.com has info

robert[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: Is the M7 frontend splitter easy to install?

minilisa[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: yeah, except for the rubbing, I\’m 100% satisfied with my USS – could not be more pleased with the handling on the track!

Will[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: Anyone with a USS problem can either call Peter, or email me (will@m7tuning.com). I\’m on the east coast, and can likely help out if you are over here.

mct[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: ok – robert has the floor

minilisa[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: and the rubbing is only an issue in the cabin – from a noise perspective… drowns out my tunes! LOL

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: Go Robert, Go Roberg, go go!

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:27 PM ]: just a ltitle clarification, are you talking about the spitter for the aero kit, or standard bumper

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:28 PM ]: or are the splitters the same

mct[11/15/06 9:28 PM ]: hold on guys – let robert ask

robert[11/15/06 9:28 PM ]: Is the splitter paintable?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:28 PM ]: the splitters are different

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:28 PM ]: which splitter are you talking about robert, if they are different

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:28 PM ]: sure you can paint them

robert[11/15/06 9:28 PM ]: the standard bumper

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:29 PM ]: aero/standard kit available

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:29 PM ]: there we go, continue

dopamine[11/15/06 9:29 PM ]: aero kit and standard kit

robert[11/15/06 9:29 PM ]: I have the standard bumper

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:29 PM ]: In this case, Robert is reffering to the \”Standard\” version of the Splitter. Just so everyone is on the same page.

beaner[11/15/06 9:29 PM ]: but, why would you want to paint it?

dopamine[11/15/06 9:30 PM ]: gotta match man

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:30 PM ]: all holes pre drillled and readdyt to go

robert[11/15/06 9:30 PM ]: I was wondering if the whole bumper needs to be removed

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:30 PM ]: I have an additional question about the Splitter…

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:30 PM ]: When Robert\’s gets answered…

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:30 PM ]: we recomend you to remove itr

robert[11/15/06 9:31 PM ]: thanks M7

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:31 PM ]: Ok, well the question(s) are: 1. from Peter\’s comment, saying that all holes are already drilled and ready to go, I\’m assuming that the splitter bolts onto existing holes on the car, correct?

Will[11/15/06 9:31 PM ]: Removing the bumper is the best way to go, and it\’s also really easy

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:31 PM ]: correct (aero is different

mct[11/15/06 9:31 PM ]: (post questions here – http://www.motoringfun.com/2006/11/15/mfmc-virtual-meet-1-m7-tuning/)

robert[11/15/06 9:32 PM ]: so the only holes that I need to drill are on my OEM bumper

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:32 PM ]: And 2. will there be any other designs for the splitter? Or will it remain a (for the lack of a better word) simple-slick design? I guess you can compare it to the Hamann (which has a slightly more curvature) on it…

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:32 PM ]: correct

robert[11/15/06 9:32 PM ]: My last question

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:32 PM ]: form follows function

robert[11/15/06 9:32 PM ]: Is the ram intake scoop pretty easy to install

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:33 PM ]: That\’s what I had figured from previous searches.

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:33 PM ]: Thank you Peter.

robert[11/15/06 9:33 PM ]: Keep in mind, my mechanic skills are minimum

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:33 PM ]: very easy, but you need to do some plastic removal

robert[11/15/06 9:33 PM ]: Under the bonnet?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:34 PM ]: yes the plastic diverter needs some …opening up

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:34 PM ]: 20 minutes tops

mct[11/15/06 9:35 PM ]: beatnut – your question?

robert[11/15/06 9:35 PM ]: Thanks for your time guys!

beatnut6722[11/15/06 9:35 PM ]: Ok thanks… My main question is are you currently working on an exhayst system after dropping the free flow exhaust? If so can you tell us a bit about it and what makes it different than other exhausts.

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:35 PM ]: thank you

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:35 PM ]: Will can answer that

EuroMin1Australia[11/15/06 9:36 PM ]: I am also interested in Beatnut\’s question

Will[11/15/06 9:36 PM ]: Gee, I don\’t know how much I can answer without giving all our secrets away. heh

Will[11/15/06 9:37 PM ]: But I\’ll try. It\’s not what you\’d typically see in an exhaust system, the standard bigger is better mentality is nice in \”theory\” but it\’s just not perfect

beatnut6722[11/15/06 9:37 PM ]: Ok, do you know about when it might be out or can get more information on it?? Rought estimate time frame?

Will[11/15/06 9:38 PM ]: There\’s so much more that goes into controlling the flow of gas, rather than just letting it leave all by itself

dopamine[11/15/06 9:38 PM ]: i hear that

EuroMin1Australia[11/15/06 9:38 PM ]: Also the headers, if that already hasn\’t been asked.

chuckt[11/15/06 9:38 PM ]: did u hear that?

Will[11/15/06 9:39 PM ]: Two prototypes currently exist. We\’re trying very hard to engineer the system to work with every configuration we can get our hands on

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:39 PM ]: Headers 2nd week of January

beatnut6722[11/15/06 9:39 PM ]: Lastly, are you targeting the exhaust to ne priced about the same as the free flow?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:39 PM ]: yes

beatnut6722[11/15/06 9:39 PM ]: Ok cool

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:39 PM ]: Oh man! I couldn\’t wait, sorry guys… I should\’ve, damn it!

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:40 PM ]: We will have a new Coilover system very soon…

dopamine[11/15/06 9:40 PM ]: really…do tell

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:40 PM ]: That would\’ve been perfect for my b-day, too.

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:40 PM ]: I will have some systems next week

mct[11/15/06 9:40 PM ]: peter – tell us more about these coilovers..

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:40 PM ]: 15 position

dopamine[11/15/06 9:41 PM ]: yes please do

mct[11/15/06 9:41 PM ]: and cost?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:41 PM ]: Black and red….Heheheh

chuckt[11/15/06 9:41 PM ]: ride height independent of travel?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:41 PM ]: approx $1200 a set with springs

dopamine[11/15/06 9:41 PM ]: dampning?

dopamine[11/15/06 9:42 PM ]: camber plates?

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:42 PM ]: no camber plates

dopamine[11/15/06 9:42 PM ]: adjustable?

mct[11/15/06 9:42 PM ]: thanks Peter

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:42 PM ]: ride height ind…no

mct[11/15/06 9:43 PM ]: ok – Drew

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:43 PM ]: if you meant threaded insert at mounting point

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:43 PM ]: woo hoo

chuckt[11/15/06 9:43 PM ]: yes, thanks

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: simple question first

dopamine[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: i meant ride height adjustable and dampning etc.

dopamine[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: sorry drew

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: yes

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: the strut reinforcement plates are the same ones found on the strut tower bar correct?

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: no prob

Will[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: Yes

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: very close yes

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: k

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:44 PM ]: #2

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:45 PM ]: has the DFIC been applied to any automatic S\’s

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:45 PM ]: heard of lots of IC fitment problems with the auto

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:45 PM ]: yes we have

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:45 PM ]: but there\’s small differences from car to car

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:45 PM ]: and no fitment issues?

mct[11/15/06 9:50 PM ]: and the whine?

dopamine[11/15/06 9:50 PM ]: the whine is the best part

mct[11/15/06 9:50 PM ]:

Will[11/15/06 9:50 PM ]: The DDM intake accentuate the sound to a very sweet degree

mct[11/15/06 9:50 PM ]: agreed

mct[11/15/06 9:50 PM ]: nice

mct[11/15/06 9:54 PM ]: LOL

polizei[11/15/06 9:54 PM ]: So is M7 developing an SS kit?

beaner[11/15/06 9:54 PM ]: i take that to mean that it\’s a ways off….

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:54 PM ]: so the jury is still out on that one? lol

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:54 PM ]: I guess so

Will[11/15/06 9:54 PM ]: This is not a SS in the same sense that you are used to seeing.

dopamine[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: will…please go on

beaner[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: that is why is was interested

polizei[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: ahhh, new and improved? Different design than the traditional SS? Can\’t wait to see it.

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: no more Will LOL

dopamine[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: lol

mct[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: ok – everyone here needs to sign an NDA

mct[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: LOL

dopamine[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: look foward to seeing it gents

Will[11/15/06 9:55 PM ]: Mum\’s the word. Just be aware, you\’ve never seen anything like it.

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: Thinking outside the Box

mct[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: ok – miniatic you are next

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: its a 7-speed shifter!

xxTHIR13ENxx[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: Only way to think!

MINIATIC[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: all right..

polizei[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: Well it\’s not exactly nice to tell us you have a new product, then leave us in suspense. LOL bad M7, bad.

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: 7 speeds how did you know

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: *wink*

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:56 PM ]: I feel for you

MINIATIC[11/15/06 9:57 PM ]: my question is in regards your suggested mods for those daily drivers that go to the track maybe 4-6 timesa year

polizei[11/15/06 9:57 PM ]: …I thought it was a Getrag 8 that you were developing?

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:57 PM ]: nice one luis

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:57 PM ]: Pulley- DFIC- CAI and exhaust + springs

mct[11/15/06 9:57 PM ]: i think luis means what mods would you recommend?

polizei[11/15/06 9:57 PM ]: MINIATIC: Pulley, exhaust, intake, and anything else you can afford!

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: budget or BUDGET

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: wheels and tires too M7?

mct[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: cabmeister – you have the floor

Will[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: And if you are running S-Lites and Run-flats, then wheels and tires, too.

mct[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: LOL

cabmeister[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: DFIC

MINIATIC[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: is the old intake-exhaust-pulleyy the best for the buck, or does people really need to go into suspension and USS and reinforcemnts etc

dopamine[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: word

CooperDrew[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: your up Keef

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: yes light weight is always the best

beaner[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: obviously, cosworth head, uss, m7 coilovers and M62

polizei[11/15/06 9:58 PM ]: A nice set a Falken Azenis RT-615\’s would help get the power to the ground too.

cabmeister[11/15/06 9:59 PM ]: Have you available the new Rubber seal on the top of the DFIC

cabmeister[11/15/06 9:59 PM ]: Is it wider

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:59 PM ]: But in reallity people are looking for power and the way to do that

m7tuning[11/15/06 9:59 PM ]: is Pulley for boost and Cool it with DFICV

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: -V

polizei[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: DFIC-V?

mct[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: DFIC

mct[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: (no V)

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: hehehe

polizei[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: lol

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: Version five just to piss of you know who

mct[11/15/06 10:00 PM ]: ok – cab has a qestion about the rubber seal

mct[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]: LOL

polizei[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]: So, who developed the DFIC first? ALTA or M7?

Will[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]: There\’s a bad question to ask!

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]: M7 has the DFIC and t works

polizei[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]:

dopamine[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]: i was gonna say that

Will[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]: Do we want to discuss why one is better than the other?

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:01 PM ]: hey I can take it

polizei[11/15/06 10:02 PM ]: I never asked who had it on the market first, or who had patents. I would like to know who initially developed it first.

dopamine[11/15/06 10:02 PM ]: yes we do will

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:02 PM ]: And if they were first why did it take 8 months to come out with theirs

polizei[11/15/06 10:02 PM ]: lol!

EuroMin1Australia[11/15/06 10:02 PM ]: Peter,

polizei[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: You do have to admit, that black is sexy though…

Will[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: Hard to say, polizei, but I do know that the DFIC was in development several months before the other was \”unveiled\”

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: yes bud

Will[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: We have black, too, ya know.

PARTSMAN[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: it\’s a simple answer Will, the one that works comes from M7

polizei[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: really? I\’ve never seen a black DFIC?

MINIATIC[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: WHENIS THE TIME FOR ECU UPGRADES?

m7tuning[11/15/06 10:03 PM ]: and it\’s hds coating not paint

polizei[11/15/06 10:04 PM ]: when your car shuts down lol

dopamine[11/15/06 10:04 PM ]: you have a black dfic?

Will[11/15/06 10:04 PM ]: Heat Dispersant Coating

EuroMin1Australia[11/15/06 10:04 PM ]: Sorry mate, Hit the enter key. When you quote me on the Stage 2 Cosworth Kit, Can you do a no holes barred version as the customer wants to do it all once and not keep adding parts.

polizei[11/15/06 10:04 PM ]: I\’m more interested in seeing this black DFIC…where can I see a pic?

mct[11/15/06 10:04 PM ]: well guys – i promised peter we would take 1 hour of his time
