I throught keeping the Austin A+ was more in keeping with the car and would be a good place to start to learn how to machine stuff!.

To be honest mate I totally agree with you. You should tune within the limits of what you've got and enjoy it and learn as you go. 16V trick bits are all good and well but you're taking the A-series beyond what it's designed for so you're entering a whole new realm. I reckon there's a lot of of fun to be had with what you've got so well done for sticking with the A-series!

Russ,

That was some New Years Eve party if you only got in at 5am, and immediately started posting on the forum, I'm impressed :o

I see the supercharger is sucking through the big SU carb :)
The carb position is to get it all under the Mini bonnet I presume.
