Does anyone have a good mechanic for aftermarket parts in the Toronto area? I'm looking at adding the sway-bar and perhaps this summer a Stage 1 brake kit. I don't have the space to do this at home, or some of the tools and dealers are just too damn expensive.

I just wish I had the space to do this myself but my garage is smaller than a mouse trap and so is my driveway.

Anyone have any ideas?

Good idea Gordon, I'll do that.

Thanks for the link.

Do you know if they've ever worked on a MINI? Not that one car to the next is that different but it would be nice to know.

I notice they have a Hartge banner up in their shop.... does that mean they're authorized to do the forthcoming 200+ hp upgrade?

Got a reponse from John at Raven Performance. Here's the reply:

Yes, we do performance work on Minis. We just came back from Sebring 2 weeks ago - one of the cars we took was a Mini Cooper
S. We had done the following upgrades to the car:

1. H&R coilover suspension (first one in North America)
2. Front brake upgrade (4-pot calipers, 13" discs)
3. Borla high performance stainless steel exhaust system
4. SSR Competition 17x7.5 track wheels (12 lb.)
5. TOYO RA-1 track tires 205/40x17

In the next month or so we will be doing a software upgrade, supercharger pulley change and header upgrade that will give us
205 bhp.

The car looks fantastic because it sits about 1.5" lower and has these huge red calipers. Everytime Jim brought it off the
track a crowd gathered around it.

I suggest that you talk to us before you spend too much on upgrades. You can reach me at the shop at 905-477-1800.
