Mynes Tuned Mini Cooper @ "Pinks All OUT" English Town

Here are some footage of the Mynes-tuned "World's Fastest Mini" taking on some Domestics at the Pinks All Out last week The quickest it ran at the event was 10.2 @ 138MPH (Built motor with GT35R & NO NOS what-so-ever)... The car was hitting consistent mid-10's all weekend long... With NOS, this thing will hit 9's for sure

Mike,

That setup is fking sick!!, that is crazy guys. Speaking of Minis, I have a friend of mine that lives and work in Phoenix and he runs a black cooper S converted to Turbo. He has meth and fully built internally engine, his name is Joe Funk(bold dude), do you know who I am talking about?, his car is quick for a street car.

Anyway guys, a big pad from me in your back, running that fast on a FWD is sick!

Hi Carlos, that mini actually did a better time than the one listed... the quickest was 10.2 @ 138mph.

Yeah, i know Joe. We have tuned quite a few Road Race mini's here in the Valley. But with Joe's mini, the stock ecu didn't like the turbo+meth setup... We'll probably have something for his setup in 6 to 8 months

cheers.

^^ Thanks for your quick response Mike... I personally know Joe from meeting here in Tucson at the European import meets that we have on Friday nights, he is such a great guy and helped us with out VW GLI since he has the proper software and tuning tools as well.

When I first saw your post the first thing it came to my mind was to grab the phone and recommend Joe your services, I just did not know that you guys work on Minis as well.. that is a plus.

Well, I guess that there is no need to call him then, my intentions were good though..

Are you guys actively advetizing on mini2 ? Again, what an incredible achivement you guys accomplished. Congrats!

We are trying to scale back on the wrenching work and focus more on tuning & software development (and the occasional custom builts). We get primarily referrals and don't like to advertise too much...For the mini's, the ecu is too complicated and none of the flashes has proved reliable in racing environments... but we are working on the solution as we speak...
