I believe Evolution Motorsports is gearing up w/ parts for us. Worth checking out:

I'm not sure what's going on with Victor's shop, formerly MINIWorks, MINI made him change the name, but not sure what to, or if he's even still in buisness. w:(w

I don't have anyone to recommend but Louie's choices are :uhhuh (sorry man)...1) EVOMS is too expensive unless you are a millionaire driving a Mini for kicks...and 2) Mini Works in one word is unreliable to say the least.. :x

Shop online!! :D Thats what I do! There are plenty of sites to checkout...a good place to start is http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/vendor.php . If you want good service, a well-stocked catalog and the best prices (not to mention predictable delivery) check out http://www.jscspeed.com/mini/mini.htm. Both places have everything you could put on, in, behind and under your MINI. Have fun with mods just be warned...it never ends and it is additive!!!

Yep, I buy online quite a bit too.

Helix is another good source - http://www.helix13.com I most recently bought my rear control arms from them. Eric is a really good guy and very knowledgeable if you have any questions on his products. I also have a set of their camber plates which are as good as it gets.

I don't know...I NEVER buy my parts at retail unless the company has a monopoly on the product. Helix, Mini Mania and all the others are just too expensive. I did buy my control arms and endlinks from JSC Speed though and the customer service is great. :D Also, you have to remember that the vendors do price match and you can haggle with them. I know of a friend who just did that and save quite a bit of money! 8)

Yeah haggle and surf the heck out of net. Then find the closest price matcher site, JSC speed I think is closest in Cali, that way you save on shipping (pay attention to shipping some will offer free shipping on orders over certin ammounts ...they vary from site to site and some just get stupid with it) but all in all there is money to be saved (if you give yourself time to find it).

in the past i bought and had all of my parts installed by miniworks in scottsdale but i will never go there again. this summer i dropped my car off for a whole month while is was in ecuador. Victor (owner) said he would hav a new clutch and my fidanza flywheel installed but when i got back he hadnt even ordered the parts yet. so STAY AWAY FROM VICTOR AT MINIWORKS!!!

We would love to have a shop and a retail store. We want this to work for us and the community. We want to keep our overhead down in the begining and see where it goes. If there is a product that you are interested in, just let us know.
