Hi guys! i have a 2006 R53 i'm looking to get tuned... does anyone know of some good tuning shops that can tune my mini? I've looked around a bit and i can't seem to find anything reputable and local...

 

Washington State? Try posting this question over http://www.psmini.org/forum.

It's a very active club for those of us in the Puget Sound area and all over Washington, really. I own a couple of R50's so I'm not really "up" on who the good tuners are, but somebody over there will be able to help.

Not sure how far you are away from this shop, but they have a dyno and the tools:
Advanced Auto Fabrication
11911E. Empire Bld E1
Spokane Valley wa. 99206
http://www.advancedautofab.com/

 

Thanks Guys! i'll try posting it at that site...

that shop is about 4 hrs away (288 miles), if i cant find a shop thats closer then i might as well take my mini there...

 

I'm looking into a remote tune from Jan at RMW. I live in Victoria, BC, and he recommended I look into getting on the dyno at Speed Factory in Tacoma and he could tune remotely. You might want to look into them.

Cheers
Dan

 

Remote tune huh... that sounds do-able, any idea what the total cost would be?

 

Speedfactory in Tacoma is the shop he's done the last 2 tunes in WA. When I did mine at the first tune session the dyno time was about $125. Each guy paid for his own time, about 1hr each. I've been thinking about another re-tune and talked to a shop in Kent, WA where I live and they would rent the dyno for $600 for the whole day. I'll keep an eye out for a thread on the puget sound mini site.
