I've almost saved enough money to go up to Willfield Motors and have them tune my car before the rolling road shootout in March.
What can I do to my mini to prepare it for when I do go up?
The front brakes are sorted now, it's got new HT leads too. Should I buy a set of new spark plugs, a rotor arm and a dizzy cap so that if he thinks the ones I've got on there now have seen better days then he can fit them on the day and hopefully get it running the best it possibly could?
Anything else anyone can suggest?

basicly a full service
filters (oil & air), ht leads, spark plugs, points, condenser, rotor arm dizzy cap, oil, check water level etc
make sure you have no air leaks on the inlet/carb and check exhaust isnt blowing
and thats pretty much it, i've probably forgot somthing obvious tho

Track the front wheels.
Less rolling resistance.

Track the front wheels. Less rolling resistance. It's been laser tracked but for some reason is still pulling hard to the left  |

Normal driving, god I'd never let go of the wheel when I was breaking! lol I was on the motorway sunday night and there was noone around so I cautiously let go of the wheel and thought I was gonna end up in the hedge!
I'm hoping dean is right and its the old disc that hasnt been swapped out yet.

mine goes to the left aswell, think its cause ive got adjustable tie bars on and i adjusted the drivers side out so that the wheel clears the arch before the respray. should be sorted now though so i can adjust that to normal  |
