I love the wont be beaten attitude

great modding - looks the part

cheers fellas, literally days from being finished and a blooming electrical problem comes up! i can do a quick fix so it'll get me through the mot, but i'd rather find the root of the problem, so its out with a multimeter next weekend!

Nice seats matey.

Just noticed you have the same steering wheel i had on my 325.

There like shirt buttons there that small.

well shes on the road



sailed through the mot, just adjusted the emissions so she would pass. i've taken her for a drive 2 times so far, and i can feel every bump in the road! don't really want to use it till it has been setup properly, so i've booked a rolling road session for tuesday. i'll get some more photos up by next weekend!

oh and just found out my diaphram on my dump valve has gone. so i've got that lovely chatter noise instead!

Any chance we may see you at the next meet in it? Its worth the wait if not, but it would be great to see it and yourself there!

hopefully i can come along, i'll keep an eye in the local meets section.

Sweet man hope to see you and this baby there

I'd love to see this little monster in the flesh!

an eventfull day today. took the mini down to mikeanics in congleton (rolling road). got there for around half one. watched for half an hour or so then went for some grub to let him get on with it. overall results were 105 bananas and 110 curly whirlys! its only running 5-6 psi of boost i think he said, this is due to an unknown compression ratio, which i will work out soon. also i could get a few more horses out if it if i ran bp8es plugs but i not bothered right now. also it appears i'm not running a standard dizzy, so he had to strip mine and alter it. i'm am more than happy with this though, as on the road it pulls really well. i'll take a picture of my graphs, but for now this wee pic will have to do.



i can reccomend him to anyone whether its a turbo mini or not, great guy. also along with the faults you find when first driving, i've got a knock noise from the top engine mount, the exhaust rubs on the body right by your feet, and the rear suspension is scraping the rear arches. other than that its sweet!

also speedo stopped working

Saw you today matey comming out of Halfrauds (bidston) get anything nice.

I was at B&Q getting paint YAY more house work.

Anyways the car sounded nice even my misses liked it and that takes some doing as she hates cars.

lol, just got some small bits and pieces, to keep the gem running sweet

Well done mate, appreciate you keeping us updated with your progress
