Again thanks for being the guinea pig for us all and I do look forward to the results.
Just so we're all clear. We finished them up last night, shipped them out today, and Juan receives them tomorrow.

Thanks
Andy

Thank You for all the Background info on your products.
I should have just Googled MHP..

I just had some general questions for our Community and trust me when I say I wasn’t questioning your abilities..
I was just under the impression that y’all focused on Tuning ECU/TCU...

There is no need for us to "talk tech all day" or posting it on here..
We can save that for a phone call...
Many who know me here on a Personal Level, know that Talking Tech is one of my favorite Topics.

Great to see another Company join in on R&D’ing & possible creating more products for the IS-F!!!

Thank You
Joe Z
Joe,
Good deal brother. No hard feelings here and I hope none there either. Feel free to give me a call anytime (614) 940 9523, who knows maybe we'll find a project to work on together.

Thanks
Andy

FWIW, no offense taken by Obike's post (other than a few random statements). We're used to running into skepticism/doubt jumping from market to market as quickly as we have. In the end the results always speak for themselves and we're confident they will in this case as well.

Thanks

Obike,
I apologize if I came off a bit harsh by not divulging some of your requested info, but again, IP theft is rampant in this business and our legal system does a pathetic job of punishing those that steal code. Perhaps after we've proven ourselves we can have a conversation in which I can answer more of your questions, that is something I'm open to in the future.

Damn Andy, look at you with your badass CL Sponsor badge! Congrats, finally gaining some cred around here... Now let's close the backdoor and hear what Juanca has to say!

Hey Andy, if you don't mind, post the MIR date as we get closer to the date. Maybe you can hook up a fellow member with access!

I absolutely will, same with the Chicago rental. Anyone in the area that wants to is more than welcome to race with us. We usually have a good smattering of MB/AMGs, BMW/Ms, Vipers, Vettes, Porsches, Lambos, SRT8s, etc. The extreme diversity makes for some fun competition and excellent racing. However the real fun happens after the race...The drive home from MIR the next morning wasn't as easy going as the drive there...I lost count after 4 bottles of Kettle and D.C.s ratio of 6:1 women to men didn't hurt either.

Juan,
I just PM'd you your tracking #. Due to the weather in MI our carriers have not yet delivered or picked up today--they may not until tomorrow which may bump delivery back a day (still overnight shipping). You'll be able to track the progress via the number provided though.

Thanks
Andy

Fair 'nuff, resources are resources (as long as they aren't stolen). I'm 2 semesters away from a computer systems engineering degree myself, and plan to bring to market a line of standalone ECUs within the next 2 years.

Can't figure out what approach you guys used to get this done, but if the proof is in the pudding I would say very well done.

The next 200 miles can't come fast enough.

Well Well my hat is half-way off to you MHP. Again i said along time ago that everyone needed to be open minded about this. Just because no one has tuned a ECU/TCU doesnt mean it cant be done. Its like since people just say is not possible that thinking just dominates everyone thoughts.This is one reason alot of gear heads dont consider lexus, Performance tuning and parts are pretty much not an option.

Cant wait to hear about the results and further developments for the Lexus product line

Can't say it enough, but MHP did a great job so far in dealing with the public, patiently answering everyone's questions, and keeping us updated every step of the way. *HIGH FIVE*

Now, I cannot wait to see what tomorrow has to bring when Juanca steps on that gas pedal!
