Rolling road tune

Post by b1zbaz »

Going on the rolling road tomoz morning at half ten been waiting 6 months to do this as mechanic at mini sport hurt his back and been out of action but now finally booked in and the big day is looming I'm excited as hell which is probably rather sad

Good luck let us know the results I'm keen to see what you've got under the hood, next up weigh bridge and figure out your power to weight!

Hi all been on the rolling road it's putting out 70 bhp and 70 lb ft of torque @ 95 mph which I'm incredibly impressed with I'm over the moon with the way the car behaves now it pulls relentlessly in all gears the best 100 quid I ever spent I love this car

Some days baz I think I sold that car too cheap haha but I'm actually really glad to see you enjoying it and using it and eager to see it again/meet you. Enjoy the fresh tune, I know the feeling when mine was first done, just need a rolling road to prove output!

James I have to agree with you it was very cheap but if it makes you feel any better it's gone to a very good home and I'm going to throw a lot of money at it where possible over the next few years it's my pride and joy when the country lanes appeared on the way home from rolling road I nearly smiled myself to an early grave it's the best car I could ever ask for and I thank you for letting come my way we will meet some time in the not too distant future and the beers are on me

Completely agree that its gone to a good home and back on the road so soon makes it all the better!

I'm with you on the throwing money thing, after parking next to that unipower all I can think of is a big BIG interior shake up!

Got any pics of the car as it is? Interior etc

Minisport Rolling Road is Epic :D

My Dads Midas and my Mini have both been on there twice each over the past 10years, money well spent.

I did work experience at Minisport and got to spend 3 days on the rollers, some of the cars that went on there...... :P

The interior is not anything worth showing yet as I have only just stopped all the leaks here there and everywhere so it would have been awful with carpets and stuff but I'm going to get carpets and stuff fitted over the next few weeks I will takes if you want though
