My Mini's finally on the road again for the first time since August last year. I've built a brand new engine, just running it in at the moment then it's time for the rolling road. Should be a bit of an animal this one ...... :D

Phil. :grin:

Here's some pictures ...

:D :wales: They say there's one born every minute :grin: ok to clarify my original question. Are you runnning an l.s.d. to ease torque steer or have you done some other mods on your runnning gear, it'll certainly be an interesting drive no matter what you've done

I will be at drag wars yes.

Redmini - I am running a Tran-X LSD + 195/45 tyres so there's a fair bit of grip ... :wink:

Phil. :grin:
