HELIX is flippin sweet!!

I just came back from Helix and thought Eric deserved to know how much he is appreciated. He does an awesome job and does not try to sell you anything you don't need or want. His knowledge of the Mini far exceeds anybody I have talked to, and he even gave me his cell phone number. I thought this would be a good place to post for all those people who have had the same experiences I do with Eric and HELIX. cheers

Eric had my Quaife installed; installed my slotted rotors, 15% pulley, and several sets of brake pads. He's going to install my rear swaybar later this year or early next year - I can't wait.

Always great learning experience for me to see the work being done, and he's not bashful about explaining what's going on.

Yup, Eric is THE man in this business. Knows the MINI (and aftermarket offerings) inside and out. Total straightshooter and honest to a fault.He'll also bendover backwards to help you with any MINI questions or problems you may run into.

You can't go wrong with Helix.

Yup - I totally agree. I was down at Helix a couple weeks back, and had a great time talking to Eric and watching him work. Plus, I loved the Mods that were done. It's on to some brake work next.

Yo Alan!! - How's it going? - wasn't that track day at Pocono a Blast?! (I was the guy with the other BRG cooper S, next to you in the garage.) :smile:

Also, you can see some pics of my day at Helix MINIsports HERE .

Enjoy! - - michael
