I'm looking for garages in the region (hopefully not too far from NC) that do conversions. Minimania, etc.

Anyone know of any?

I don't know of any garages in the region, but check with mugami (MINI2 handle). He has done many performance mods and I believe is a distributor or reseller of MINI stuff (not too sure about reseller part).

Here's his MINI2 web page

I think he is owner of:
Cat & Dog Racing
N charleston, SC
843-224-1520
Trey R.

I hope I'm not revealing any secrets here... ;)

Almost.....

Mugami is tony from VA and yes his car is modded

Trey is Cadman over on NAM (don't know if he posts here) and he's the one with the Mini parts reseller biz

Thanks Smokey for the correction. Too many names handles and people to keep up with i guess.
