Im New and after a few bits, some advice and local meets in the west midlands area
Turbo Mini Forums

First off i own a mini clubman 1972 with metro turbo lump which is 90% there :/

Im looking for a carb spacer with vac takeoff if any of u sell these? Do i need longer bolts???

Also its running mega jolt software 'but'.. i bought the car with this on and have no idea what maps on it :/ whats the easiest way to do this?? All i have is the lead to plug into a laptop..

Finally is there any meets up and running around the midlands? Im from Bridgnorth but get about :)


Cheers Mark

Hi mate, if you look on here through the very useful search engine you can find info with a link to download the software . Can't remember where it is off hand but that's how I got it for my MJ . Sorry but not sure about the bolts ? Why do you want the spacer plate with take off ? If its to measure boots etc best option is drilling and tapping the inlet manifold , this obviously means removing it which we all know is a pain but its the best option, again there is a thread about it on here .

Hope this helps some . Cheers

Found a website that may help mate

Minispares do the spacer with takeoff if you don't want to drill and tap the inlet manifold, or if like me you don't have the tools

And search for autosport labs for info on megajolt

It's dead easy to drill and tap the flat spot on the inlet manifold for a 3/8BSP take of. If you where local I would do it for you.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Thanks guys.. tbh i just thought it would be easier to buy the spacer and i dont have the tools to tap in. Thanks for the link i will get it checked out. probably be easier to tap in than get longer bolts tho eh?

Any meets in the area????

Im based in Coventry if you ever wanted to come over and have a nosy around my car :)

I know that was one thing I needed most when building mine was someone elses to get ideas from

a mates just messaged me hes a tapping kit :)

cheers chap :) theres loads of ideas and opinions to take in it get confusing at times might take u up on that

I find that other people's ideas are the main hold up with my car!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Hi, I'm just down the road in Telford, i dont own a turbo mini anymore, but happy to help if i can though.

Coventry too.

I'm in Wolverhampton and happy to help where possible :)

Ye that seems to be my trouble :) always good to have a plan b tho

I need to get as far as I can before I ask for help lol it's the way I roll...

You guys go to meets in the area or fancy it? There used to be a mixed car meet every other Sunday based at RAF Cosford don't know if its still running? Could find out as I used to go with Astra owners club

it got binned off a while ago i think, was called midlands breakfast club. i went a few times in the mini when it was working, and my civic, crx and 200sx when it wasn't!

Shame it was ideal and a good spot.

Also guys... In the near future I will be needing someone to set me up on the rollers. Who do you recommend in the midlands??
