Lt. Dan Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Anybody know if Passport's service department can load a JCW flash into my R53? If so, I'll set an appointment to get that done during the meet and greet! :rock:

Lt. Dan Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Call- yes... Funny thing though. So far I get voicemail and no return call....

Edge Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Anybody know if Passport's service department can load a JCW flash into my R53? If so, I'll set an appointment to get that done during the meet and greet! :rock:I'm skeptical that they'll do that without the JCW parts being installed too. Even if they would do it, I think you'll find the gains are minimal... again without the hardware to go with it. I'm curious - what is your thought process here, versus an aftermarket tune? ...especially a custom one.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Tigger is great in the snow (with snow tires), but I get worried around the SUVs. They think they're infallible and it's like they don't even look as they change lanes and drive beyond their ability. If it was Tigger and all of you guys I wouldn't worry at all, the MINI handles fine Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
H8PAVMT Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 I'm sure with snow tires my MINI would be fine in the yuck but alas, no snow tires for me. I was having a touch of trouble trying to get to work at 5am Tuesday. 2007 Cooper S - Chili Red - White Roof

I was having a touch of trouble trying to get to work at 5am Tuesday. It really is all about the tires Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
1975_mini Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Maybe Cory can plasti dip some stripes on it and disguise it as a MINI First of its Corey, one of these days Ali will get it right. Second, I can PD anything and everything looks better with PD. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
unstable Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 OK Corie :laugh: Since I'm foaming at the mouth to upgrade my truck, there will be no plastic-dip. As for MINI in the snow, not with shitty good year run flats. I have easily gotten those tires to start giving up on the pavement, I don't trust them at all in the snow and ice. First of its Corey, one of these days Ali will get it right. Second, I can PD anything and everything looks better with PD. Brian 2006 British racing green with black roof.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 First of its Corey, one of these days Ali will get it right. Second, I can PD anything and everything looks better with PD. Thanks Carey Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
