surely a class D contender 10 years ago. acording to the article has 175bhp. Also according to the article it had a Group A dump valve whos function was "to keep the boost pressure up, and the turbo spinning, before dumping excess pressure through the wastegate" Genius.

ok .. paul sold it without or with the all singing and dancing motor in it ,i can`t remeber ,paul was pretty well in with stu gurr at the time i think , a bloke bought it a came along to santa pod , minishow down used to be there for the kids amongst you , he was about 1.5 secs slower than paul was in the car .After that i never heard from him , but i heard the turbo came out and it went to N/A but that was a long time ago . Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

Yes Paul Whiffin, this is the company he now runs - he used to have the Mini featured on the site, but he seems to have changed it now.
