do we need helmets this year? didn't need em last year unless you were going quite quick.

just got my battery clamp to re-make and bolt my seats down properly.

oh and the small matter of valve guides to be done on thursday *surprised*

i'm fairly certain you only need a helmet if your terminal is over 100. So only applicable to a select few on here.

I would have thought that most class D cars would get over 100 terminal wouldn't they?

Whats up Dev, you got problems?.


But i have totally lost faith in it, i am looking for 5k for mine or a swap for a cheap diesel and cash so i can buy another mini prefer turbo for about 3.5k

not looking good


Dont give up mate. You sound like you arent far off. Sounds like it just needs tuning.


Its not far off but i am sick of having to wait on companies for stuff and i haven't got the brass for the VEMS/MS/M3D that i need to stop it leaning out.

If i could afford the ECU it would be great.

Problem is the mini is my daily hack so has to run and run right.

Bastard! *wink*

I think i only got a 97 terminal in the golf last year, was beating a lot of minis (including turbos) with that. Obviously there are a few guys on here that will sail past the 100 mark, but not many i wouldn't have thought.

After practically a year of doing nothing to my car I am ready?

Is it wise to use the same oil 3 avons in a row.... Maybe i should get off my ass and change that before the weekend!

Yes, i'll run in class H.
Supercharger only runs between 9-10 psi boost but I know with NOS I can run well over 200bhp and over 200 ftlbs torque

i have a feeling i wont be there tomorrow rain or not. i think my head gasket is fucked. I've driven it about a mile so far and it keeps dropping onto 3 cylinders, lots of pressure and bubbling in the header tank before the needles even come off the bottom, stat housing is red hot too.
