Ok so my car needs a tune up. Anyone feel like showing me how to? Will to pay in cash or beer. Or is there someone I could take it to.
Cheers.

Well, you're a bit far away from me, but I'd be asking for a mini mechanic near by. A good tune will take less than an hour, probably around $80-$100, and it's a worthy investment if it's been a while. Remember it's not just carby tuning, it's timing too. How far 'out' is the carby? How well is the engine running?

As you are in W Sydney somewhere I'd take it to Greig Malaure at Mini Classic, Ermington.
Or, Ivan Glasby at Mini Spares & Repairs, Castle Hill.

Contact Tony Butler 0407 015 783, he's a damn good tuner.
