Gutted for you Matt :thumbsup: . Your issues and those of others building valvers are helping to push me along the aftermarket route rather than trying to use the Vauxhall stuff (not that I really need much of a shove in that direction!). Hope you enjoy the 'ring despite not having your Mini there - I did a lap on the way home from the IMM earlier in the year - it's an awesome and at times scary place!

No one can say you didn't give it 110% mate :P

At least you'll be driving this year at the 'ring anyway :thumbsup:

Wow, read all 90 pages of this today. Feel a bit depressed now and wondering whether to even bother starting on my engine rebuild :)

I never said I was going for throttle bodies - just aftermarket management on a single TB at least to start with :)

Yeah, it's on the road mate.

It's still not 100% right, but it's running better now. Loads of little electrical connections with bent pins etc. weren't helping. Truth is, I CBA to use it at the moment. It's in the garage, blocked in with a load of shizzle that's been chucked in there. It's MOT'd, insured, taxed and all that, just needs using now.

I'm still gonna fit the decent ECU and ITBs when I get chance, but it's all about the funds ATM. Couple of months and it'll all be fitted I reckon.

Sorry for the lack of response, just aint been on the forum for so long. :ermm:
