I just had a 15% pulley put on yesterday by Eric at Helix and the entire experience was first rate. I was late for my appointment because of traffic on my way down from New York but he waited for me and got me in right away and I was on my way an hour later. It was a work of art watching him installing the pulley.
Eric noticed that I was missing the snorkel for my cold air intake and
put one in for me at no charge. I highly recommend making the trip to Philly for this install. It is of great comfort to know that he has personally done over 500 pulley reductions and knows exactly what he's doing.

Now for the drive home:
I was amazed that this was the same car. It pulls so much harder throughout the entire range. The car has been transformed!

 

Traffic bad?? From NY to Philly? No way!!

Worth the trip though wasn't it?

 

best single mod I've ever done on any car

 

couldn't agree more! eric is the guru on all things mini as far as i'm concerned. he's done my 15% pulley, rear sway bar and even my front end aero kit.

very much worth the trip from anywhere!

 

Aha! You were the BRG MINI that delayed getting my camber plates installed


Just kidding Well..... you did but that's OK

 

nice pulley (6-bolt) and i have only heard great things of Helix.

Wish I was closer would love to visit his shop.

 

i thought about making the trip down there for a turbo kit. it is going to be a while though and i thought about getting a pulley to hold me over. maybe i'll go soon.

 

and you did not go for Cheese steaks? Dammmmm

 

Or to Monk's for Belgian beer and Pommes Frites. pity

I guess maybe this isn't as impressive if you are a top notch mechanic like eric over at helix is but. I think that it takes a very skillfull hand to work on a mini right after the car has sat in traffic for 30 minutes or more. I know everytime I do it i burn the living crap out of myself a few times.

lol kinda off topic but i have heard some awesome things about those boys in philly.

 

DON'T FORGET A BELGIAN ALE PULLED PORK SANDWICH AND CHIMAY ON TAP!!! OH YEAH AND HELIX IS GREAT. MILLTEK UP NEXT FOR ME.

 

Eric did put a fan on for twenty minutes before doing the install but I was still out of there an hour after I arrived. Very impressive!

 

I hate to thread jack, but I'm the photographer for www.thespeedlounge.com and we just featured a MCS from central Jersey that has a few of the helix 13 parts on it. Check it out.

Nice brackets on that intercooler. Whose IC is it?

 

Wish I were closer so they could work on my Mini (still like living in the the West better...escaped from NY 30 yrs ago)

They sold me my Milltech and service was first rate and knowledgeable too...even helped me with some questions before the Transaction!!!

Best ever and super friendly! Plz open a branch in the West!
