It's times like this I wish I could work on Historic race cars. Or own some sort of Mini restoration business. Don't fancy it do you? ;)

working on the classic racers is good enough for me! resoting minis as well would be too much, i would get too distracted on them!! :P

Cheers Noah I'm gonna get the fan belt tightened first, it was squeeling like mad before the battery went dead. Obvs wasn't charging the battery properly so gonna jump start it later then get the fan belt tightened and go from there

Forget that then! haha. What would you say a GT steering wheel would be worth with or without the 1275 GT centre cap?? Its in fair condition, the silver slats are still intact but have a few dents in them and the centre cap is pretty good.

If you turn your lights on just before you hit the speed of light you should see light coming towards you - then it will go dark!

It is that time of year when people sell their Mini's. So hard for me as mine has been in the garage all my life. Needs to be done.

A day at the rollers with Dan Fuke, Ogy pulled a mighty 65bhp at the fly... Think I need a cam.

Given it's a sprite cam I'm expecting a good 60 with a proper lift version, peak power was at about 5k rpm!
Oct 25 2012 03:21 PM -
Noah
What cam you gonna change to? I think Mines on a similar cam. but its a manual.
Oct 25 2012 03:30 PM -
Skortchio
You're probably 'only' losing about 15% then, you lucky sod!
I'm not decided on cam yet, SW5 looks a good pick, ideally I'd like an AC Dodd special but he's moving at the moment so might not be making them for a while.
