Hey Randy:

Let me know when you open your first shop in Canada - and it'd better be in Toronto! We've got 4 local dealers, so clearly this is the MINI capital of Canada. Not that I see many on the roads, but by the time you get here, we'll be ready for you!

Great Luck. Have fun!

Randy,

All the best to you. Your philosophy of matching MINI owners with the correct product by carrying a variety of quality products is a service that no one else can offer. Good luck.

Thanks a lot guys!

I look forward to helping as many of you as I can to modify your car in the manner that most suits your desires.

Many new items are under evaluation, so keep an eye on the website for some new products coming soon.

I will continue to provide detailed how-to's and product evaluations, as well as answer any of your specific questions regarding MINI modifications. I do, after all, live, eat sleep and breathe MINI

More exciting things to follow!

Randy

And nice web site, to boot! (Is that a British car expression?)

How about some online videos of the sound and resonance of the air intakes and the exhaust systems?

Spend some more cash on that web site, Randy!

Great idea (the video part, not the spend more money part)! We'll be doing some testing at the track this week, so I'll try to get some video then. For now, here is a teaser of the Magnaflow - video

You've been a wealth of information for so many of us Randy. I hope your new venture really takes off. Hope you'll still have time to post more of your informative articles as you have in the past. Lots of luck.

I fully intend on continuing the articles. Here will be some upcoming features:

Coil over suspension install
Supercharger pulley install
Header install

Stay tuned! MCO is also working on a way to build a "garage" of sorts so that the old installs don't get lost in the Performance Modification threads. There will be an "installs" link at MINI Cooper Motorsports to this area on MCO.

New Products are underway too. Aluminum flywheels, ECU upgrades, coil over systems (the good stuff), braking upgrades, and more!

Thanks again for all of the support, people of MCO!!!

Randy

Thanks again guys!

Ryan,

There will be more of your pics up on the site...keep an eye out.

I just received supercharger pulleys, a 10% and 15% reduction, today. The install will be documented, and evaluation will be coming.

Other new systems are coming, so stay tuned!

Randy

Thanks for all your hard work and info Randy. I was thinking of leaving my MCS mostly stock, but after hearing about the gains I can get, and how easy it will be for me to install, I'll be looking to you for an intake and exhaust as soon as my breakin period is over. (Hopefully just a few days!)

Thanks again, motor on!
