    Moving from Jersey to New Albany. Born and raised in Michigan (Go Blue) - so this move is gonna be a problem hahaha!

    Looks like I'll get to join the MOM Dunkin meeting on the 20th. A couple pics from MINIs on Top this year and MTTS.

    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    Best is the place.

    See you found about our penchant for donuts too.

    BTW, RMW motor, Sprintex SC do not mix.

    That would the be the same as the intersection of matter and anti-matter.

    Yeah! Couldn't have picked a better place. You guys will have to tell me about the area. Been there once. Moving to a town house in New Albany (Berkeley Place).

    Dave, I see you've gotten work done at Helix. It's gonna be hard leaving this area since I'm about 1.5hrs away from them.

    Gonna be a haul from Columbus. Mike has done a lot of the work on my car. Gonna move most of the parts over to this new car over the next week. Then take it down to Helix for pulley, clutch, short shift kit, injectors, and tune.

    Best is a great repair and maintenance shop. As far as a performance shop for the items that you have listed, I don't believe that they do much of that although others may give you their opinions. Welcome to Columbus and MoM, let us know when you arrive here. Where are you moving from....and we need pictures, we like pictures.

    Hahaha! Yeah. I don't keep up any delusions that we're gonna win that game. I bet it's because my car is silver and my mirror caps are red. LOL

    Welcome to M/A nice MINI you have there. :Thumbsup:

    For my money Best is the place to go to for MINI work here in town. They are not a mod shop, but can & will do most anything asked of them.

    K, so they're not a mod shop, but if I wanted coilovers installed, they could probably do that. Right?

    Yes they sure can. Not sure if they can do the corner weights. You will need an alignment & they can get that done for you too.
    Tell the Chuck sent you.

    Welcome to M\A you will be joining a great bunch of MINI guys in Mid Ohio.

    Please for the love of God and your MINI do not put a Sh*tex on an RMW Stroker motor.

    Talk to Jan (RMW) because you could do much better with a TVS or a Rotrex.
