Classic Mini Restoration Episode 54 - Rolling Road Tuning The Car

Classic Mini Restoration Episode 54 - Rolling Road Tuning The Car   / smugwood   It's taken me long enough but I finally took the car to be tuned up on a rolling road. I wasn't chasing figures and was just after a car that runs right...pushing the engines for absolute maximum power doesn't always result in a car that drives well, and priority for me was to have a car that I enjoy driving. I took the car down the road to RE Performance in Bury who did a great job in getting the car to run as it should. I also called in to Minisport in Padiham and got 4 new tyres fitted as the two front ones were borderline legal. Big thanks to Tom at Minisport for fitting me in as I know they were extremely busy at the time. Thanks for watching and a special thank you to my Patrons David Shrive, Charles France, Ryan Davies, and all of my other Patrons.
