Retro has now had a supercharger installed, Ger and the lads put alot of work into changing/developing a minispeed kit, modifing carb needles/ fabricating SS intake pipe that looks the business etc and the results are great, I'll try get some pics up soon. The car has totally been transformed.

Slight break upgrade too, Retro has been fitted with Mintex 1144 fast road/rally pads.

I have ordered 4 of these Yokahama tyres too http://www.minisport.com/acatalog/info_ ... 55R12.html

Well................ :1icon_exclaim:

They are seriously good tyres Mark, like 4 spots of superglue on each corner :1icon_cool:

They are working well Ferg, and looking well too I must say.

I hope you are finding the Yokos as good as I did on the GpA Mini we used some years ago on a press program I did for MINI USA in the Alps for 3 days they were like driving on rails , take it handy until you get used to the grip and also the power of course .
