indeed.... no good for me tho - this is my daily :) (and motorkhanas etc.)


Does this mean you've got your vaccum advance hooked up?

retesting isn't a problem - my guru and I think the same way, we like to look for those little changes that make the 1 or 2 hp's, so we fiddle around... test, fiddle, test... the only problem is time


The only way I test stuff is at the track pretty much... (no dyno mates!) If you're not far from winton (benalla) I could pop over and check out your beast one weekend... I race there quite often as it's safe but challenging track.

Should be able to squeeze 6-10 hp more out of it... head work/flow and tappet setup can make a huge difference...

How many minis are coming to Jugiong, God damn it?
At this rate I'll have to dust off a renault and preserve credibility. :D

What does it matter how many mini's Kevin, i never seen you at Jugiong once :wink:

A undisclosed amount will be going next year, you'll have to show up to find out how many are going.

What does that tell you? I heard you were going :wink:
I haven't been since 2003 - Motorfest usually clashes.

apologies for not responding to this one.... I was away all last week, and didn't get around to it prior to taking off

I don't have it hooked up - but I think I will hook it up - the vac unit is stuffed and I never bothered replacing it, I want to see what the economy is like with it attached

I'm only 100k's from Winton, I did a sprint there once and had a great time, but haven't been back for various reasons - mainly cost and the state of preparedness of the car, but also that VMCI don't do sprints there any more, and I'd like to be on the track with other minis.

Let me know when you're there next and I'll come down :)
