Hey everyone, new to this and minis in general. Looking for a competant shop in central florida for some 16 CMS upgrades. Any suggestions for orlando area?

 

I do not suggest Maitland Imports

Do you just want tuning or do you want mods installed?

 

Back in the day from mid 2005-2012 me and my husband would goto this place called 1FastMini which was a Mini Cooper specialist... I believe the name has changed over to E2 service in Winterpark. They where overpriced and rude. Not sure if they're still inservice. I just purchased a JCW Paceman and was looking for a Mini tuner shop as well in the Orlando area.
I think I'm going to keep Orlando Mini as my place of service. Anyone else can chime in?

 

I too go to Orlando MINI for all my needs at the moment - I am about to try Origin Motoring for some parts install I will update you. Also RMW can and will do a remote tune.

 

 

I currently go to orlando as well. Tiffany there has told me they will put on aftermarket parts for me if needed, like the NM module tho they are not a dealer. I was just looking for someone local to get good info and suggestions from.

 

Tiffany is my Rep also and I have had great luck with MINI of Orlando - I have three MINIs and they maintain them all for me.

RMW (Revolution MINI Works) is a tuner and maker of MINI race parts based in CA, Jan the owner makes some of the best parts out there, and by best you need to read Expensive but good.

Origin Motors is an Orlando Local custom shop that works on pretty much anything that is specialized, I have a LinkECU G4+ stand alone ECU I am going to have them tune for one of my 2006 MCS cars.

 

 

the BEST tuner for Mini is Renn Haus of Sarasota - they do ALL hot car tunes. research their website, they built my Mini & did a knockout job.

 

What do they charge for tuning? They look quite expensive according to their website LOL. Im asking because Im in sarasota, and will need a tune soon. I talked with RMW and they sell a nice cam/tune package I am considering adding into my build.

 

Renn Haus of Sarasota will pmp you up. My 2015 MCS went from 189hp + JCW tune kit 228hp to after Renn Haus 300hp @ flywheel or 246.9 @ the wheel. my turbo now puts out 25lb. They do all the Italian jobbers, look at their website.

 

Prototype-R remote tune from south florida. You won't be disappointed.

 

Thanks, I sent them an email.

 

So, their email said they could do it but focus more on R56/F56's and wanted me to consider Precision Auto Werks PAW in Miami, which leaves me to believe they don't want to do it or the tune wouldn't be that great. Basically I will go with Jan over at RMW, they have already been helpful with giving me advice, and I don't think 1k bucks on a cam/tune package is all that bad. Lou from prototype said Jan can be difficult to work with, but thats ok by me I am in no hurry.

 

Hey dude! Sorry i didnt even realize you have an R53 or some 1st gen car. I have an R56 and yea Lou doesn't really work with 1st gen. I would trust his opinion on PAW though. I have no experience with 1st gen so unfortunately i am of no help. LOL



LMAOOOOO I NOW SEE YOUR SIGNATURE TOO!!! HAHAHA
