My plan is still not going straightforwardly.

Took the Hoosley to Southam to get it set up ready for Harewood.

Onto the rollers, just started loading it up a bit & THE DYNO BLEW UP!

Hope to be able to pick the car up later this week in time for Harewood :)

The only good thing was it was showing 97 at the wheels @ 5,000 rpm just before the dyno pump let go. So hopefully a bit more to come yet :)

97bhp@ 5,000 revs,that must be 120ish at the flywheel
From a normally aspirated 1293 ?
I hope they recalibrate the dyno when they fix it :lol:

Quite frustrated that I haven't been able to enter. The Unipower now has new wheels and tyres (££ ouch) but still needs a cage and I've been let down with that , so with no other Mini up and running I'll be aiming to pop along for a gander. Nick if you still want a look at those overalls let me know.
