My name is Cheyenne Harrison, Die hard Mini Fan and car enthusiast. I've been into Mini Cooper's since I can remember. I am a Certified Technician for Toyota but my heart has always been for European cars. My biggest inspiration is Vincent Delciappo who is my boyfriend and best friend, If you know anything about us 99% of the time we are in the garage everyday after work working on something ranging from big to small. He has a number of European cars that are all Modified With a variety of custom and retrofitted parts that are quite tasteful. This is actually my 3rd mini. I Currently Own 2 minis. One is a Daily F54 Clubman S All4, and this one an 04 R53 Mini Cooper S 6 speed. After Many donor cars I have been though, this one still isn't perfect but exactly what I wanted. Some Modifications include Complete dash and door card refresh and swap, LCI steering wheel and dash Complete carpet removal and working on getting Rennline Floor plates in place of the carpet. Lowered just enough on Solo Werks coilovers that are on top of OEM Custom Bronze BBS wheels, 4 point roll cage on top of custom steel reinforcement plates, and many more modifications. In the direction I'm going with the car it will be a circuit track car!

When I first started college, I remember seeing for the first time a B8 S4. I just stared at it and thought to myself "what do I have to do to own one of these?" Then i had the the pleasure of going to lunch with one of my professors who just happened to have a v10 s6. I was instantly in love with the car. So here we are years later and I now own both a b8 s4 and a c6 s6. May not be the smartest life decision to own two "S" cars, but my drives are never boring about two years ago, I was browsing b8 s4s. I had one on my watch list that was dropped in price. However, it was about 10 hours away in the middle of Virginia. I made a call, went down the next day and traded in my Jetta TDi for the S4. As for my Audi S6, I was able to find one local to me that was a one owner car and pretty well taken care of. The previous owner had already installed a Milltek exhaust which makes the v10 absolutely scream. The torque the car provides in combination with the sound is just an amazing experience. As far as modding it, I only plan on getting some wheels for it. So far it has he lightweight crank pulley from JHM, EBs red stuff pads and upgraded plugs and coils from NGK. At some point the car may get lowered but that is a ways off

My passion for the automobile goes back to my childhood. Growing up in Paris, I was always fond of European designs and engineering. I also was attracted by what America or Asia could offer. What made me a true enthusiast is when I realized the true beauty of it all. No matter how different your preferences can be, we are all driven towards our passion for automobiles. My first small cars that I had was a Formula 1 Renault race car and a 1956 Pontiac star chief, I still own them, and they are still in good condition, then as my collection of miniatures and I grew, so did my automotive encyclopedia. I remember watching Rally races with their 6-speed manual widebody Quattro 80’s and was amazed by how their 2.1 L Turbocharged I5 sounded, unlike any other rally cars. (Another Rally car I was a fan of was of course the Renault Turbo 5) When I saw the sporting achievements of the brand, I knew one day I would own an Audi. As a graduation gift to myself, and all the hard work which I saved up for, I bought my first car, a Monsoon Grey B8.5 supercharged V6 3.0L Audi S4. Audi has brought a lot to the automotive world. In short, it is a brand, which has ONE history, AN impressive sports track record, and ONE cutting-edge technology QUATTRO.

My MK6 GTI wasn't fast enough. sold it. Got a winter beater older than me and saved up for my lovely S4 that hopefully last me the rest of my life!!

I'm Mike, the MINI Brand Manager. I have owned several MINIs including my current pair, a 2005 R52 MINI Cooper Convertible that I bought new, and a 2012 R58 MINI MINI Coupe JCW. MINIs are just go-karts with more power, which keeps me in love with their dynamic driving experience. Even the factory handling is better than any car I've owned, but that doesn't stop me from adding upgrades to make them even more fun. When you modify a MINI, you are improving on a platform that starts from such a great package and only feels better the more you do.

After owning an E90 335i for a couple of years, I was ready for something new. I'm a die-hard BMW fan and knew the M3 was the only logical next step. As the only M3 ever produced with a V8 making over 400 horsepower and revving to 8400 RPM, I knew this was the car for me. So far, I've fitted my M3 with Genuine BMW Style 359 wheels, ECS Carbon Fiber exterior upgrades, KW H.A.S. suspension, a Turner Motorsport skid plate, and Turner Motorsport software to tie it all together.

Cars, for me, have always been an avenue for self-expression. They're a blank canvas to create a piece of art. I need to choose a platform that offers several options for parts and customization, but I also have to like the aesthetics of that car. These things combined give me the best opportunity to build something unique. I always look through online catalogs for parts and picture a basic idea of what I want out of a build before I purchase the vehicle. My advice to fellow enthusiasts out there: follow your gut. Don't just do something because you think others will like it.

I grew up interested in boats as we were a boater family. The mechanical aspect was always the most intriguing. When I was able to purchase my own vehicle I got really into off-roading/ overland/ camping, so I built a Toyota Tundra to tackle those duties. Next was a Subaru STi to get my feet wet in the tuner/ JDM world. This car ended up getting a full motor build and pumping out 600hp. Finally, I came to ECS and became attracted to the sophisticated, yet complicated German engineering ways. This lead me to buy my Audi S6. I've always been an Audi fan growing up and my father had plenty throughout the 90's. He also had a Porsche when he was 26, so 911's give me the feels too. At this point I'm hooked and always drawn in by advancements in the OE or aftermarket automotive fields.

I have always loved BMW E36s, but the 325i was my gateway into drifting. Some of the modifications I have done certainly aren't for the purist, but many of them are good for the weekend warrior or just a daily that sees some spirited driving. While I love all things BMW, the E36 will always hold a special place in my heart. For me, it truly is the "Ultimate Driving Machine."

The 435i was my introduction to forced induction BMWs - I wanted to buy something "more reliable" than the N54, but still wanted a turbo BMW. After looking for a white M-Sport manual transmission 435i, I found this one and purchased it sight unseen from California. My interest in cars is rooted in "stance" culture, so my 435i ended up less than practical, but it is still a blast to drive and easy on the eyes.

I've always felt like the MK6 Gen3 GLI was an underrated platform, so in 2018 I purchased one and started making my vision for the car a reality. We regularly use my GLI for product development for the platform. It sports our rear diffuser, adjustable damping coilovers, front and rear sway bars, and more parts we're actively testing. Our unique aesthetic upgrades set the car apart from the crowd. The brakes, suspension, engine, exhaust, and software upgrades make for a refined and aggressive driving experience that puts a smile on my face every single time.

The MK4 VW platform has always been a favorite of mine thanks to it's chiseled good looks and premium interior. I purchased an �04 Jetta Wagon 1.8T Manual when I was in college in 2012. Two years later I upgraded to an �03 Jetta Wagon TDI Manual with the coveted ALH TDI engine. I got a Malone Stage 1 tune for it right away in order to wake it up a little bit!Thanks to my long commute, I've been fortunate enough to test many in-house designed ECS products. This includes the Adjustable Short Shifter, Poly Control Arm Bushings, Poly Subframe Bushings, Adjustable End Links and more!

I had purchased this car in March of 2016 as a barely running project with no interior and a laundry list of issues. Over the years I have slowly but surely made it something similar to what I had in my head. Most people are confused about the way the setup is but I'm perfectly okay with it. It's been autocrossed, drag raced, hard parked, blown up, and much more but it still keeps going. Overall it will continue to be a project for me as he never plans to sell it given the increasing desire for the SLC models. Here's a list of some of the products I have on It available here.
