I spent the afternoon with my wee mini on a new set up based in EK to get a few base figures before I start work on my new spi mini, just thought I would share this as plenty rolling roads around but not any hub dynos that I know of round this area, I have been looking out for a hub set up for ages to set up my cars over the years as you get reliable wheel figures that I like.

Now for the comical part my print out a wopping 30bhp @ the wheels about 5-8bhp down on factory power for a spi equinox so not too bad after 18 years. I plan to get my TVR on at some point as well.

Couple of pictures of the mini forgot to take some while on the dyno.




I plan to tune it with aftermarket injection set up and a better head who knows 100bhp might be achieved ha ha.

I have nothing to do with said company just thought I would pass this on as it is nice to finally have one local north of the border. The chap Chris that runs it has years experience tunning high powered jap cars and looks after a few drift cars, some interesting projects.

Hope this might be of help to someone cheers Scotty.

That is very similar to my first car Scotty; a 1975 Mini which i bought in 1985 - sprayed black, flared arches, mambo alloys and "Paddy Hopkirk" bucket seats - ah i'm getting all nostalgic!! laugh

Got the Z3MC booked in with these guys tomorrow morning.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the car is producing after 15 years and various mods.

Never managed to get it done today due to some technically difficulties, here's a picture of the car to keep you ticking over.
