sounds like a missed a good weekend, Interested to hear about starmag.. Matty, what turbo are you using? was it new? No wasn't new, but had been rebuilt by me (probably why it fucked. lol). Its a GT1752 and was working really well until I went out and hit 8500RPM last week, ever since then its not been boosting right. Not sure if it was the extra revs that killed it or what? 
Yeah well impressed with starmags car...definitely a dark horse! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Spent the saturday at the rwyb runing on the road tyres at getting a 13.8@102 Having done a bit more tuning since avon have managed to improve the terminals but not getting any great et due to spin in all gears. I thought i would try with my new slicks to see what the mini was capable with some proper grip, Lets just say the results were rather good. I was managing low 13's with a personal best of 13.08@104 late saturday afternoon. I then started too get a boost spike and couldnt go any quicker due to a missfire. After much fettling swapping and changing the setup i managed a 12.8@106 on the sunday Lets just say i was rather pleased :)

realised also that esso 97 is not a patch on shell v power , was getting detonation from about 14 psi ,and v flat engine . Robert V Power GAURANTEED to be 100 octane at the pump The Esso 97 is probibly around 96 by the time it reaches the pump and Tesco 99 probibly 98 by the time it gets to the pump. That information is from a VERY good source

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
