    Thanks! I am not too far away from Philly, maybe 40 minutes or so? I will certainly look into Helix. Do you recommend their other products as well, CAI, etc?

    Thanks Dave, I will certainly look into Helix and it's nice to know he has an in house dyno.
    And since everyone loves pics, here's my MINI sitting in the parking lot after driving home in the snow today.

    The only picture I have of my MINI so far.
    I will be replacing the belt in the spring, so I can read up on which pulley to swap out at the same time. :biggrin5:

    No need to use "search" button here. :nonod: We are all here to help out anyway we can and we don't just tell people to do a search.

    FYI is you are getting a pulley and are near Philly call Eric the owner of Helix. (267) 335-4337
    All you really need is a 15% pulley.

    Yup and Eric stands behind everything he sells and won't sell you stuff you don't need.

    FYI~ Eric personally built my car with RMW (Revolution Mini Works) and Helix parts at his shop.

    I have a the below Helix parts on my car: :Thumbsup:
    15% Pulley
    Short Shift kit
    Rear lower adjustable control arms
    Front adjustable camber plates
    He also installed my Howerton Aquamist Methanol Injection System.
    I had him install a DDM intake on my MINI only because I like an intake with a cover on it and at the time the Helix one did not come with a cover and it sealed to the underside of the hood when closed.

    I have been a very happy customer for over 7+ years now and he is the only shop I go to since I am very picky person. :lol: All I ever do on my own is oil changes at my buddy shop and wash and wax my car. :lol::devil:


    Eric has also done everything else to my car Suspension, brakes, Crank Damper, Exhaust, on and on ect. I trust him 100% with all my mods.

    He also has a Mustang dyno in house and Dyno'ed my car when Jan from RMW did a custom tune on my car.

    I even have him go over everything in the Spring before our MOTD trip.
