I'd like to share the experience I had yesterday when at the last minute I had the chance to attend the Ac Dodd tuning event at the Dorchester mini centre. Mike and Adrian were really nice guys and definitely know their stuff as far as minis, A series engine and su carbs are concerned. I thought that my car was running fairly well and was happy with the performance but once Ac had replaced the spring and reprofiled a new needle the difference was unbelievable, I came back from the test drive grinning like a Cheshire cat! I just wished that I had done this when I first had the engine built and not worried about the cosmetic things.I don't think you could get better improvement for the cost and to know that it running at its optimum is amazing, it's like having a new car! Thanks again guys!!

Very glad you had a positive experience Andy and you got to see how relatively small changes can make the difference between a car that runs ok to a car that runs properly! This experience will greatly enhance your driving experience, which you are now able to relish!!

Was this a one off? I wish I'd known - I don't live far from Dorchester.
