believe it or not.....this is still on-going.....  :ohno:

not through lack of effort when time and funds permitted from everyone working at camp StickyFingers , its been a long while since major progress was made, a major situation meant massive expense was required at a stage when we thought we were on the home stretch.....

 

but......

 

today it was started and run and Im chuffed to say purred like a happy puddy-cat..... first go.... and its not even had the timing done properly yet !!!!

 

major update with photos and more info will follow in the next week.... and details of a magazine feature in the offing  :proud:

Dots mini has in recent weeks been used as a 'tuning mule' for 2 features in Mini Magazine.....

 

in this months issue it can be seen in the stage 1 tuning kit feature, where the old girl got a decent 50% hike in power to a reasonable 36whp.

 

in stage 2 its had a Keith Calver stage 3 head, Tuned CSI dizzy, new carb and a better exhaust and is now a respectable 52 wheel horse power.... I think its going to be fun :)
