GTT certainly attends the the mechanics/engineering aspect first, applying a conservative and well formed map thereafter - the right way, and no lean mixes.

£850 to remove your head and look inside - WOW, nearly as funny as me paying the same amount for BMW to fit a £60 item and clean my carpets - STUNG on both ass cheeks!! grrrr. Now, where is that county court summons form.....

Well we don't know that yet and speaking to Roland the other day it seems detonation at WOT in 5th and 6th is a problem with tuned MINI's in general. He said he recommends not to use WOT in 5th and 6th with his conversions for this reason. He also recomended the use of an octane booster for track days too.

It was acceptable in the 80's
