[mighty_mini]

[TimS]

you crashed into a building, how?

[mighty_mini]

nothing much really...

sharp corner. too much gas. wetness. boing! Its oke. only dented a rear 1/4 panel. that'll learn me


Got some lexarse lights today, been fiddling with them. Tried pulling them to bits but it wasnt going to happen without smashing them into little pieces.

I ended up spraying them, im not sure if its going to be any good, but time will tell.....

Have you got a picture of the lights on the car?

[Retro_10s]

would you have to cut the arches to fit 13's?? also would 20w50 be ok in one of these?



Nice car mate..

Nice car mate..

eh what?



well im not sure what or why 13's you would want to put on these but im sure anything possible.

20w50.. hmm probably not a good idea... the cam oil ways are quite narrow from what i hear. I was recommended to use 10w40 silkolene pro s in mine with average milage for age, id seek further advice when looking into what oil to use. Maybe contact opie oils..

it was a joke......

aimed at simons comment i expect.. he seems to think that my minis more important than my nissan...

[mighty_mini]

Well, back from AJ's and the cars mapped. In short, its fuxing quick!

Im only making 282.6BHP/253ft.lb when i was expecting to make the 300 mark. It seems that my actuator is not upto much, but once i have installed a decent boost controller i should see another power increase (hopefully taking it over 290-300)

Peak power however, is at 6080rpm.. and continues to hold till 7360.


Overall a good day! Big thanks to Alan Jefferys Engine tuner
