Interesting not out till 15 Sep 2011. Hope it doesn't get continually pushed back like the Haynes single seater book.

Yikes! isn't he the erm.. 'author'
that published Mini tuning DIY books.. making hm directly responsible for untold thousands of Bodged Minis as direct result.
I'd look elsewhere for genuine information..Kids.

Er, David Vizard was teaching me stuff 30 years ago. He used to do development work with another chap who ran a road here in Plymouth. Of course, I'm sure you know much more than him, .......or do you?!

DV was pioneering the use of flow benches to prove the performance of his porting work while most other people were sticking a die grinder down and hoping for the best.
He's been in the states earning megabucks doing the same to big V8's for years.

surely its the people who bodged their own minis, without any common sense, or any previous experiance in what they were doing, that were the problem?

Isn't this a re-print from years ago?
