JAN TUNE 3

I am still in China and haven't driven the car since the tune (Erhan took the car down to get the tune for me), but probably not. I had been spinning my Dunlops Starspecs a lot as I have been running them during the winter due to lack of a cold weather all season tire. 

So I probably need a limited slip differential next (I was hoping to put that off until my clutch goes out) and a set of non-summer tires...

10-15 HP average wether stock or JCW

As many know. I did a tune recently and had issues with my car. The injectors were not spraying properly and the cam mini-madness sold me was crap. I purchased a RMW cam and injectors and remote tune. Installed this weekend and the car is impressive. Roxy was reluctant for me to do the work. Because after the tune the car ran so smooth. Well, had her take it for a test drive. She came back with an ear to ear grin and said she was glad that we did the repair. The car still is smooth and is considerably quicker. I mean considerable (pulley install X 2 minimum) RMW is the way to go

Roger that. Is it possible to get the in person tune onto the accessport?

As an obvious example, an engine tune would not void warranty for any braking, body or power steering problems, but may be questioned if you have any engine or power train issues. 

A positive attitude is helpful for cases that are less clear-cut than this example.  

I just took my MINI in for repairs related to leaking oil and the spontaneous bursting into flames recall at Seattle MINI - all repairs were unrelated to the tune.  

On the other hand I had to shell out around 1K for the other repairs so maybe that bought some good-will or they could have let me slide because they sense I was drooling over and/or considering making the move to a Countryman.  Or maybe the folks at Seattle MINI are just nice people...    

The warranty repair would have been added about 300 bucks to my bill.    

Thanks,

Jasper
