Very cool, you're gonna love it. Not considering just going all the way to the 19%? You're definitely going to the right spot to get your work done. As they say in "Coming to America", 'Dat boy GOOOD"! (although I dunno how much 'sexual chocolate' Eric actually is. Maybe white chocolate)

Let us know how much ya like (love) it. :smile:

Yep, that's the clown that made my MINI faster. Ventilate the exhaust fumes, Eric...well, either that or pass it to the left, cough cough.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that 'White Chocolate' is mocking that exhaust tip? Not a big fan of rice?

'White Chocolate'? No
'Vanilla Waterice Soul Brother'? Maybe

but judging from the photo: 'Glass Eye Savage' is more like it.

I blame my parents.

Ahhh..

Youl'll be fine! Eric will take good care of you and your MINI - just bring a gnome with you to keep the evil trollgytes out of his neighborhood shop!

Also, if you're new to mods, make sure you keep your speed under control after you've had your car mod'd - you'll probably be so amazed at your revitalized MINI that you'll forget all about our boys in blue!

I am definately not crazy! Wow that a HUGE increase in power.... I really pushed it locally when I got back and My butt dyno estimates 200-220+ chp. It's gotta be. I might be so wrong but who cares!

I have to recommend helix to EVERYONE. Eric is the most honest tuner/mechanic I ever met.

Helix =

Thanks again E!!

Wow.. let us know when you get back..

I'm planning a similar retreat..
Although I did not have anything done at Helix13 yet, I spoke with him and I must say his customer service skills are top notch!

I'll 2nd, 3rd and 4th that. Eric's/Helix integrity and honesty make him not only the best 'tuner/mechanic' I've ever come across, but a good guy in general...despite looking like a straight up hooligan in that pic Word to your *****.

I also have to agree, i was there a few weeks ago to havea 19% put in. Top notch service and a good time to talk to. I also got a drive in the Twincharger, which "almost" ruined it for my exciting journey back to northern jersey with the much improved push. Now only if i could afford the JCW injectors and GIAC code and i would be a happy happy man.

Andy, that shot is sooo last year. Here's an updated portrait of Mr Vanilla Woodr-ice in action at our favourite local bling - I mean trade show.
