Any tips for a newbie to the mini metro scene on how to get the power down. Only had the pleasure of driving my metro turbo once but can't seem to get the power down till late into 2nd gear

Good set of tires gotta be first thing, I use yoko a539 and there ok, seem to get a little bit of spin in 1st and 2nd on boost, torque steer just hold tight and correct it as much as you can, you can set up the front end to minimise torque steer, but its a little over my head.

Learn to pull away. basicaly you cant just bring revs up and drop the clutch if you want to not spinn up.

also having a rose jointed suspencion setup apposed to bushes will help reduce this. On 17th Feb, 2011 apbellamy said:

There are lots of ways to improve grip on the front, but generally to the detriment of cornering. I'm not saying it can't be improved, but lets face it a mini or metro with 140 bananas is never going to be able to use full power in first. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I wouldn't go that far, but post a detailed thread (including punctuation) with what you've tried doing to get it running and the symptoms and no doubt you'll get a few more help full replies. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Yes will do- To be honest not much I switched the relay which stopped it smoking and checked for loose connections. The power just doesn't seem to be reaching the starter motor |

check the basics too. sounds like the starter is running (burnt relay was over heated from over use??), but your missing either fuel or spark or both.

im not saying that it will completly cure the problem. but with less flex in the bushes (ie the rosejoints) its can only help with the torquesteer problem.

The car has a battery kill switch so left battery off so should be fine.
