A little late in posting, but a few Fridays ago it was our pleasure to spend the morning with Dan at his shop in Thomasville, NC to have our '06 MCSa fitted with a Craven Speed 15% pulley and M7 CAI. It's quite a sight to see your engine lifted upwards a little to allow room for the pulley install! It was amazing to watch Dan efficiently perform the installation while allowing me to bombard him with endless questions about all things MINI. After driving with these mods, I'm very pleased with the very noticeable power increase and louder supercharger whine. An added bonus is the 1-2 mpg improvement in fuel economy we are experiencing under normal driving conditions. As nice as it was to have these mods done, it was especially great to be able to meet Dan and have him share his wealth of knowledge about how to get the most out of our fun little cars. I know we will gladly make the four hour drive again in the future for the next level of mods and once again enjoy Dan's company. Also, a special thanks to Paul (BlimeyCabrio) for his excellent blog entry describing his visit to Dan's last year.

Glad you guys had a great mod day with Dan!

Dan, I'll collect my commission check later.

 

Dan is the best Mini guy around and the only one that works on my ride.
