YES! a proper queens english explanation would be right and we could then give our oppinion

I like the way people on this forum try to keep up standards (not always succesfully) but when I tried to do the same on another forum I got slaughtered - " must not discourage people" "not everyone has had a university education" etc etc etc.

Is it so very hard to add a few full stops, capital letters, and make an
attempt at spelling ?. Apparently so.

you don't need a university education to write correctly - primary school maybe

hey,

Previously I had right problems getting a 3 pin plug for my dizzy, I got one in the end off a rover 100 lol.
It cost me nothing from scrappy. I took it to my local 'tuner' to have the timing done by strobe.
Big mistake, it was there for 4 hours, which they spent messing with the mixture which I didn't ask for, he said its overheating too quickly, we cannot do much with it.
He also said when I asked him if he timed it in, "No I just wacked it in, too retarded so its 'safe'"
I tried to drive it home and everytime I increased the throttle, splurt splutter, no it wasn't having it.
I pulled over, boiled over, phoned my dad, and asked for a tow, lol.
What parents are for, lol.
He came down and had a look, he said they set the timing far too advanced, or retarded, I can't remember now, I was going mad at the time!
I went home got some spanners, came back, fired her up, and eventually twisted the dizzy, sorted.
Thing was, they must have retarded the timing but set the tickover well high to compensate, so at every junction it was revving really high, lol.
Only a short distance though, I think I'm going to get my dad to set it up, then go to rollers I think.
For my first turbo experience, its made the long hours, the cold wet days in the garage,£££s of well earnt pounds, bleak, although...and a big one...on that drive home, the feel of that power, the sound is amazing it almost makes it all worth it.

Cheers Tom.

Don't take it back to that garage, they sound retarded.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I'll try and translate.

He had to get the 3 pin dizzy connector from a rover in a scrap yard. Once he had wired that in, he took it to a muppet and asked him to set the timing. The muppet decided to set the timing with his deaf ear and then spend 4 hours messing with the mixture.

The end result of this was his car was undrivable. His dad came out to him, reset the timing, adjusted the mixture and idle. Now the car drives as it should and he is a happy.

Unfortunatly it failed it's MOT because he has chavvy red lights on the front of his car.

INIT!

EDIT: Beaten to it. Damn work....

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Ok. This is one of those, "can you spell Mississippi? spell it then," post's

The releavent part is below

Own the day

Is lol the new full stop? It seams to appear and the end of most of the sentances.

Don't let the experience put you off Sam. And dont trust everyone with your car.

Good luck with the tinkering - it's probably a good way to learn.

As for the MOT, a good result I think, considering what it could have failed on !

You'll soon have that piece of paper.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
