They have been on and off more times than I can remember! The lad building it is a real perfectionist y'see! Fingers crossed it will be all done and finished to catch at least a little bit of summer!!!

Not sure...............are there any mini fans on here that could have a guess? Its either a standard 1300 mini engine with a turbo bolted on (I know its had a fair bit of work done on it whatever it is) or a 1300 metro turbo engine? Power wise they are looking for 220bhp

Ah right ok, I wasn't sure what it was. I was going to say fuel pump, but I thought there would be more lines/hoses coming out it.
