its been on the rollers over the past week, and she only made 85bhp at the wheels..... thats about 105-110 at the flywheel....

sounds like the guy who sold me it was telling some porkies...

anyway, she is going for her mot tommorrow so wish me luck....

Rite, iv had my mini back a week now, and what can i say.....

ITS FANTASTIC!!!!!

SO so so so much power and torque.... its 100ft/lb of torque from something stupid like 2500revs... and makes 87bhp all figures taken at the wheels....

still a couple of niggly problems to sort out but she is almost there....

just thought id post a link to some pics of the car when it used to belong to turbo_pete about 5 years ago...

Its come a long way but still was a fantastic fun car then by the looks of it...
