Any plans on taking the Mini Motorsports road show to the North East or Mid Atlantic? I would be happy to provide lodging and my garage for you to use, I don't have a lift or anything, just a 3 Ton floor jack, Air compressor and a bunch of CraftsMan tools.

We've got Helix!

 

cheese hit the nail on hte head - you guys have a shop up there familiar with the install, not ripping anyone off. Helix has done a ton of the pulleys, and they do it for a reasonable charge. One of the reasons I chose FL, SoCal, and Dallas was because of the lack of installations going on there (and in the case of FL and Dallas, I was "encouraged" to come by some fellow MINI enthusiasts).

Besides - every one of my weekends are now full with the three installs and autocrossing!

 

Yeah, the guys at Helix really know their stuff. I got my pulley installed last week and Eric did a great job. It's not too far off of I-95 and you can get directions from their web site: http://www.helix13.com/

The pulley and install was under $500 and took ~3 hours. In fact, they are minicooperonline's latest sponsor! Check them out if you're in the NE.

Gee! How could I forget about those guys? I'll have to make a trip to Philly soon.

Seriously, what's wrong with you???

I'll second what Daytona wrote. I'm so glad Helix is "right here" in Philly. So close to Jersey. They are fantastic, I couldn't recommend them more highly. Chris and Eric are great guys and really know their stuff. Besides a two hour trip in a MINI is really only an hour and 20 minutes!

 

A couple of us Canucks up here in Toronto are making the drive down to Helix on May 24th weekend. We'd love to meet others in the area and grab a pint, or two or three....

Can't wait! :smile:

you may see me there as well, my car tricked out for showing off.

 

John,
Maybe we can caravan down. I'll be heading down from Hoboken, NJ.
