4852 MF On the rollers today

Post by mk1 »

Well, after getting the 850 dyno'd a couple of weeks ago, the Sprint is on this morning.

I am also getting the suspension sorted out with the help of our own "Guru" & Will Ker. So at least one of my cars should go reasonably well at Blyton.

As for my mildly tuned 850, with an awe inspiring 28bhp at the wheels & single leading shoe drum brakes, I somehow doubt if I will be in with a shout for FTD in that one :lol:

lets hope it does better than the last mini that they had on the rollers....


I had already told the customer that the gearbox was on its way out and it needed fixing - he decided that it was more important to fit a pair of twins to it - the box then grenaded its self on the rollers- opps
should you wish, you can contact me on rich@minispares.com

Hi Andy,

I'm perfectly happy that they will have done a good job, but I'm not picking up until this evening.

Once more I am very impressed by the work done by TMS!

A real decent set of guys & Ben can't half drive a set of rollers.

For anyone in the North of England I cannot reccommend these guys highly enough.

Good to hear that TMS gets your recommendation. After hearing about them through a mutual friend, i've taken my Pug there a few times and they've always done a good job and been very helpful. I've not taken the mini there as yet but now that there RR is up and running will definitely be giving that a go too. Niall.
