Just found this forum and thought it may be a good place to help me find a good installer in Tampa.

Here is my baby: (sorry for the size)
http://www.cardomain.com/id/xanthus


And I am looking for someone capable of putting a Vtec in her.

Below is a good source for the parts, though I assume there are other sources as well.

Mini Cooper Parts and Accessories Search

Please feel free to PM, reply, or e-mail me with anyone you would recommend I contact.

Many thanks.

Minitec has an offer on the table, I am looking at all my options. They also cannot touch my car till February.

I am confident in their skills, but the price is high. This is not a deal breaker to me, but based on that, I am looking for options between now and February. If I find nothing that I am as confident with by that time, I will be shipping her up to Georgia. In truth I would love to have a local shop do it, and there is a primary reason they cannot even fault. I will need it serviced locally in the future, and that would make things easier on me to have someone who actually did the install here to do it.
