Saturday, Dec 14 in Philadelphia; I'm going...any one else? Macncheese? I may bring a suprise mod for the blower in "beta"!

gowest · Dec 10th, 2002, 11:03 AM

Hell, I may come up from Richmond. I still only have 950 miles on the car but if my Quaife can be put in this weekend I won't be making it.

UPS tracking says it should be here today but I think my codriver/mechanic is tied up. I wish I had some of my other planed mods ready to go but I guess I could get just a base pull. What time and how about some directions? Maybe I'll blue label an intake or something.

macncheese · Dec 10th, 2002, 11:21 AM

Directions? I might take a ride down but I've got a paper to finish for school.

I'll do my best to make it! Since my MCS is out of break-in, it'll be interesting to see what kind of numbers it puts down. Also, I'll bring the prototype data logging program to graph out some wheel speeds, etc.

Hey Andy -

Does Uwe have software ready to go for the MINI Cooper yet?

No, we're working on it now, tentatively called BiM-COM. No release date or pricing info yet. Check out the brand new Yahoo Group:

My useless (offtopic*) suggestion is BiMi-Com. (BiM just sounds like Bimmer with a big M). Of course I doubt anyone really cares what you call it, since if it does what you expect it to do, you'll sell it regardless, yay for good products!

Ontopic - Is anyone planning Bringing a Cooper to dyno day? I'll probably be driving from Cleveland to NY on Sat or
Sunday, so I'll miss it.

*If I moderate the forum, I can make offtopic suggestions, at least until someone complains about it.

Andy@Ross-Tech.com · Dec 10th, 2002, 09:28 PM

Your suggestion is duly noted, but overruled.

We want to continue the pattern of XXX-XXX as started by VAG-COM. The concession to MINI is the little "i" to separate it from the B.

Which will end up as BIM-COM like MINI being replaced by Mini because everyone decided BMW was dumb for naming it MINI. Oh well I feel better that I said it, and now I can sleep at night knowing it won't happen. So what about the TWIN-COM and the BI-COM ross-tech sells? Ok I don't care, so whatever its called for BMW/MINI doesn't really matter. Go spend more time developing it, and less time worrying about marketing because I complained
