Thanks John (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I *might* need a new MINI some day, but I now realize that I don't need a classic Mini. "Lived it" for a year and that was enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Gwen, MWW/Tom Amon was the name I was trying to think of earlier and failing. I know some people like him--I'm not so convinced. Lisa is still not completely happy with the transmission he built for her car.

Tony at Heyer Performance is really good. He used to be one of the Garretson's crew Back When, working for Bruce Anderson and Bob Garretson. He was one of the "pro" mechanics on their 935 racing effort. He was my mechanic for many years, and I have taken Lisa's car to him as well. If he's close to where the car is, that sounds like a no-brainer to me.

Thanks DD for the Amon feedback.
I'll contact Tony. He does seem to know his stuff.
He's got such an "Eeyore" attitude about working on my 914 though (maybe all 914's I don't know...). The one time he worked on my car he made the comment "Buy a Miata it's cheaper and easier to fix."

Rob,
It was HIS idea. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

What? Miatas are cheaper and easier to fix? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Dang it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

I think everyone is going to have pro / con stories.... I think it really comes down to location, location, location..

How's Dad?

OK, Dave, it's official, Tony took offense, the one and only time he serviced my car, to me shopping around his recommendation and the cost to install the front oil cooler. He really doesn't like working on 914 conversions. I told him that he could say "no, he didn't want to work on my car" but he said everything but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Maybe I should take it to Bontempi @ High Performance House. At least he's got every 914 part in existence squirreled away at his shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
