Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

And for reference a 3:44 is standard metro turbo right?

Thats what im running with 10's. revs fairly high at 70 but the difference in speed is very noticeable compared to when i had my other mini on 13's.

3.1 on 10"

For speedo recalibration look at http://www.speedycables.com/

or Change your speedo drives. I recently posted a link on mini-owners for a program that does the sums for you.

Look on google for gearbox manager
it was on a german site, but wasn't too hard to find.
