Series: [Swimming with the Sharks - Gintani Mini-Shoot (56K why?)]

mig888 · 08-27-2007, 06:19 AM

Some of us were priveleged to find my good friend at the Gintani Miniworks secret warehouse location this past weekend - he had made me aware that these people were quite serious about blueprinting, tuning and building up engines (that I'm pretty much in line for) to handle various hi-boost applications. Judging from the 3-4 fully built motors surrounding the facility and the fact that we witnessed a Mini Copper S engine install in about an hour made us all believers...then again, this wasn't my first visit this year

. As if the knowledgable staff, techs, in-house eurotuner, in-house CAD designer, incoming Dynamometer, and fabrication machines couldn't tell enough.

We finally had the opp to snap pictures of the car/shark that first took me to 170+mph in a blink of an eye - SpeedInnovation tuning FTMFW? Regardless, we were definitely the sharkbait among the bigger fish:

And an extremely honorable mention:

Yeah, I'm afraid so..
