where to install pulley and other parts in SYD

Hi guys,

I just ordered some performance parts for my mcs online from USA, can someone give me some good but not expensive places for installation for these parts.

Peak Performance in Pammatta
ALS Performance, but someone told me they recently moved out towards Windsor?!
RPM Motorsport in Wetherill Park
Superior Automotive in Mona Vale (I think it was Mona Vale - somewhere up that way)

All of these shops have done lots of pulley installs in the past

Hope you've got the appropriate pulley tools and such, though I guess that depends on what kind of pulley you bought.

When were you last there Carl? I was told 2 days ago that they'd moved...

As I said, not 100% sure though - it was second hand info

Superior did my workand they are specialists in race car work . No need to provide equippment they have it all -fitted a Lambross muffler,unichip,pipercross filter dynod all great job at reasonable prices .I would only use one other place Peak at parramatta who bent over backwards to fit a sway bar the day before Wakefield Park.

I was there only last Friday. They were at 2 Wattle St., Haberfield and have moved to the new bigger facility at Rydalmere. The new place has a rolling road and a new engine rebuild area. The owner (Andrew Schmidt) has a bit of a fan club largely made up of BMW motorsport enthusiasts He did my pulley in 1 1/2hrs from memory ($85 per hr)

I didn't think the alta needed a fitting tool as it's 3 piece, you'll just need a removal tool, which all the above places would have

I may be wrong about the fitting of the Alta Pulley though - do some more research on that one

You've been waiting a while it seems. But No, there are no mini tuners around the CBD unfortunately otherwise I would be going to them. Your best bet is to drop the car at Peak and pick it up that night or the next day. If you find anyone around the CBD be careful as we all generally know of the only places reputable for Minis.
I live in Paddington and always have to lug a mile to get things done, just part of the show!!
What Alta pulley did you get, and did you get the belt as well?

yep Im pretty sure peak have loan cars if needed, just call and ask.


And in answer to the original question. There is none I no of other than the names already mentioned and if they havent been mentioned then they are probably no good In theory any mechanic should be able to, its just a matter of trust and knowledge

Maybe try City Performance Centre, they are in crown st. They do motorsport stuff but no idea if they have worked on Mini's
