TBH I am still amazed how quiet the feckin thing is.:confused:
Just looked up an old thread for someone else and it might be that I haven't started it since 2018 0r so.:eek:
Bloody amazed it started without a lot more work.. And I deffo haven't put any fresh petrol in since then.
Still totally amazed.
But God is it mouldy inside., even though under a tarp. Condensation is a reet bugre. :(:(:(
Only ever bought it as a project. Will I ever get the time and have the physical ability to get it sorted? Age is such a bugre.:(

Its turbo charged already, it has a fancy induction kit which gives up to 20bhp
Contacted a chap who has a engine with over sized pistons that leaves bigger turbo,
upgrade the actuator spring,intercooler/sports cat & my mate will remap it
just spoke to him we think we could get near 400 lbft of torque. May need to throw a
better clutch in it. I will have it mapped so its running bigger power when the sports
button is pressed. :cool:

I can only think of what that sort of power would have been like in my old skool Mini! Feck off mad!
Can't help but think that a supercharger would give more immediate power but then with that much under your right foot, who gives a fuck!:):):)
You'll need feck off wide tyres to keep the wheels from spinning all the time! Hope the gearbox/diff can take it.
Deffo a track car now!:):):)

Oh it does rumble, very nicely, but very quietly. Then it's got two cats on it etc etc. Only know this cos I looked under it to see where the starter was in case I needed to give it a clout with an ammer. (S reg)
Really REALLY must get all the feckin DIY finished so I can play with it, as well as all my other projects.:rolleyes:
