Question Who are the most respected Mini tuners?
Who would you consider the "Protomotive/Renntech/Ruf" of the Minis? A friend of mine has a MCS that wants to make it a street weapon and would like to deal with one shop that covers all aspects of performance upgrades (wheels, brakes, suspension, engine, chassis, etc.). Thanks!

Dinan in N. Calif. www.dinancars.com
Randy Webb in Denver, CO www.webbmotorsports.com
Helix in Philadelphia, PA www.helix13.com

Those would be my top choices for one shop total solutions, in no particular order. Webb did our 2003 MCS.

Figures that Dinan, who specializes in BMW, now does Minis who are a subsidiary of BMW.... Thanks for the tips. Anyone else care to chime in?

I should mention Alta in Oregon, www.altaminiperformance.com

They are not a true one stop tuner shop, although they do some installations, but they develop many performance parts for the MINI which people use.

It really depends on what side of the big pond you're looking at. There are numoerius German and Brittish tuners that I'd have a look at.

Will do once Continental Airlines delivers my suitcase where most of the parts are in! Car is proving to be more fun than his F430!
