Just heard from a man in a pub that a certain gold twin cam turbo mini is up and running.

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

If Antman has heard the rumour, it must be true. He probably helped finish it!!

Would be nice to see another twin-k turbo in action.

Would anyone else like to see a turbo twin-k shootout on the dyno? *smiley*

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

If Carling made Mini engines

My brother in law has been trying to get his Zetec Mini up and running, but the base map on the Typhoon ecu says that the water temp at start up from cold is at 127 degrees C.

So he spoke to Simon and is awaiting his return from his holiday *tongue* *Nerd* *Nerd* *happy**happy**happy*
