Very nice work on the roll bar. Felt nice to get a full 10 minutes on the car instead of the 5 minute blurb like last week.

Have you seen any increase in calls or sales yet because of this? You guys are coming out as 110% quality (that we already know)

the 2nd episode was definetly more informative then the first, would be nicer if the show were a full hour each week though to get a little more indepth with each team wrenching

OMFG, they have a re-run of the first episode.... ****en CHEEEEEESY!!!

And WTF is it with that guy that's with the Mini group. The guy with the glasses. He's a freaken goof! "I have never removed airbags"

And skunk 2: "We have the better car, it's an RS" Cocky MoFo!

Honestly, Vic and the other guys from FocusSport are the most proffesional!

how can you people watch this show.

The narration is horrible and inaccurate. Its worse than fast and the furious.

What the **** is a turbo booster? A cosworth intake manifold is labeled a "header manifold"?

Street tuner challenge...I'd rather watch gay asian midget porn

All black wheels were overdone 2 years ago.

They ARE flat black to match the rest of the car.

EDIT: Just saw your other comment about the bolts along the edge.

We had the DPE wheels pictured and also a set of Team Dynamics wheels that were ALL black that we used today.

Please?

I'm not sure, to be honest. We've been gone for so long. Just today, we just got back from the track and I didn't even catch tonite's episode until a few minutes ago. And we have more filming tomorrow and then we leave for SEMA in a couple of days.

Funny, they didn't show any of what I was doing for that episode. I guess writing proposals isn't that exciting to watch.

Well I caught a couple episodes tonight. Focus Sport really is the most professional and I hope you guys do well. I also hope you do something with the front of that 08, cause that thing is DAMN ugly.

By a mile, the MINI has some great things going for it. Its Brakes aren't one of them, even with my Wilwoods. BBK's won't always give you better stopping distance or even brake feel. Mostly just fade resistance.

crushed? man. I really like how this one came out!

Randy, FS crew, you guys as usual have delivered. Very clean execution, we know there will be good power under the hood, and the interior came out sweet!

So, before its crushed, can you part it out? seems a shame to let all those good parts go to waste. I mean, I'd buy those seats in a heartbeat!
