Hi All,

After six months of fixing just about everything previous owner had worked on, bar the suspension, got MoT three weeks ago, we had lovely weather this evening and took the Mini for a blast.

Three hours later we got home with no probs.

I now get it. What a laugh. I'm now in love and considering a second one.

Suspension in June and we will be sorted (cones are getting very weak).

Three weeks ago we had 34.7bhp on the dyno. A lot of spannering later, 78.5bhp. Not bad for a bogo 1275 on a Stage 1 inlet and HS4 with peashooter exhaust. Full exhaust next month might release a few more ponies. Or not...

Cheers

Ian

Ooop the TMF boss has spoken!


Best feelin when everything runs well:). Personally instead of Getting2, and maybe having more issues, go for more power and better handling on your one, you would just love it more !!

Stage 3 head? ;)
