Underseal
When I had my classic mini the only thing sealing up the underneath did was hold in all the water that came in from the windows .... god that was a **** car, wasted so much money I could have spent on a real car :') i.e my subaru :D

What's your MPG ?
Hello all, I am curious :0, what's your MPG? I have a 2003 Blobeye impreza, with fully decat plus remap and a high flow panel air filter. I get between 25 Mpg (20 at my worst) driving short runs and having a bit of fun with it up to 33 Mpg on a long run with only a bit of fast accelerating.

Revs jump when changing gears
it has been remapped, i had a fully decat pipe put in and then had it re-mapped. I will try the water trick tonight, I also have access to an ultrasonic air leak detection piece of kit .... that in theory should do it but I will have to try it. is there any way of proving it's the clutch or not the clutch?

Revs jump when changing gears
Hello all, The problem is, when i change gears my revs seem to jump up by a few hundreds before dropping down, as if i haven't fully taken my foot of the pedal. I make sure i fully take my foot off to ensure that isnt the problem and it still does it, as if there as a slight delay in the trottle being let of? or maybe my dump valve is effecting it as it seems to coincide with the "PSShh" Any help would be great thank you !! Kind regards Chris

Shut Down Procedure
Anyone got opinions on pipping revs up before they shut down? Most say don't do it as it will spin the turbo without it having proper lubrication or something or nothing, but some say do. ?we got a definitive answer?

Small Dents in my Boot
Hello all, I have a few small dents in my rear bumper, as if someone has sat on it or the previous owner has reversed into something. I will get some pictures up but basically the back bumper needs some straightening. dents probably an inch wide and pushed in a few CM at max there is no damage to the paint work btw. anyone know anyone in the Doncaster Sheffield area who could help. also anyone have any guess at the cost to fix them? Kind regards Chris

Stuck OBD
I cant get my fingers in to pull mine out so i glued a hook onto the back for future use. when it first got stuck i got the blade from a little coping saw, (i.e. the flat saw blade with a little metal peg in either end) and used it to hook the bottom of the plastic and wiggle it free, not easy but it did the job :) hope this helps. also it shouldn't run the battery down.
