Mi's In Scotland ?!

Recommended Posts

discodeek

Hi folks

 

Im due to collect my first Mi on Tuesday from down south.

 

its been a few years away from hot hatch ownership - previous cars inc a mk2 golf vr6, rs turbo gt turbo..........the list goes on.

 

 

pretty excited as it seems they are good fun !

 

i'll be using it really only for track nights...Topaz blue -mi16 with Jenveys, emerald ECU etc.....

 

 

any other locals in or around the Fife area ?

 

cheers

 

Ross

Not yet, but I'll be moving back to Edinburgh at the start of Sep.

 

Although whether mine will still be Mi I don't know. It's currently with Miles to replace the headgasket, but as it's only been 5 years and 13000 miles since the engine was rebuilt there is a possibility that the block or head is corroded. If it's the block, I don't know what the future holds for the car :)

Not sure if you'd say 'Mi pro' but worth considering - plenty of 205 experience.

Any idea whos holding the Thursday track nights ?

 

I'm going to one on Saturday that SIDC are holding.

 

As for Mi pro's I'm unsure,I do as much as I can as they are quite simple to work on,I Partially siezed mine at Knockhill so it was an engine box out job to repair and to be honest it wasn't difficult !

 

For the likes of your motor with bodies etc I'm not sure who to suggest.

 

I've carbs on mine but also have a wideband fitted so I can see what the fuelling is like,I also set my own cam timing with a dti gauge etc,Basically just trial and error with a few things for me
