| AFAIK the vintage road tax currently kicks in at 30 years, so that's 1987. NCT required from 1980 on. |

Hi Adam,
if you don't get it sorted i could pop round or you could come over to me and we'd have a look at it.
I'm in Deansgrange,

| what RPM are you running at 75mph? is the cam timed correctly? also is the spring/needle correct? could be that the carb-piston is fully up (open) when you get to 75, so wont give more - in that case you might need a heavier spring. see this thread: http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/146506-... |

Given all that's been said above and before you start down that road, consider a fully sorted supercharger install. Not the same power admittedly, but 90% of driving will never use the full power of a vtec.
Disclaimer: I've never built a vtec, not even driven one. |

I'd be looking for a replacement car from the garage during the repair under warranty period.
Or my money back. |
