First mini cooper...addicted

I was looking for a daily driver and found this car. It's not going to be my daily driver. It's become my project car. Never thought I'd like it this much. It's a blast to drive. If anyone in the Akron/Canton, Ohio area knows of any tuner shops let me know.

You are probably right. I've ordered parts from them but never been to the shop. They post here often enough though

All the best!

Hello and congrats on the new MINI>

We have lots of parts for your MINI, we are not a shop. If you see pics on our IG , that's our R&D or photo section.

We ship out same day on parts in stock. Currently we don't have local pickup.


Thanks for the mention. If you need anything or have questions about your MINI , I am here to help.


For local tunes or dyno you can try smokeysdyno , but last I checked they did not tune MINIs but did everything else.

Cool I am form Canton area , I currently live in Charleston SC. These little cars are easy to work on and with a little work you will be smoking a lot of Mustangs and Camaro's.
