Wow, coupled with that GT40 coil, needed to spark your plug gap due to the intense cylinder pressure produced by the now forced induction, it should go like electrons oxidising from iron. :lol:

PS, it's much better than some of the 'cold air induction' mods on some cars in the UK that I've seen in Miniworld, at least it's neat (the air pipe).

Oh no, it's not enough!

You now need to wrap it in aluminium foil to reflect the gamma radiation that threatens to de-ionise the intake flow!

Don't think about it, there's no time! Just do it!

i was thinking of doing the same think cush, i have a guy at an exhurst (spelt: exhaust) place that made me a metal pipe setup ready to go in but i dot think it will make much difference cause minis suck in cool air anyway, and with ur (your) set up its similar to the one i got made up but where r u (are your) brake and clutch cylinders gonna go?

People, u misd a few :wink:

Cush, you really need some GR spark plug leads to make the most of that cold air intake. Also, it would really finish the engine bay off nicely.

i make a habit to use full words where i can in text messages, makes it a lot easer to read.

does the intake pipe change the sound at all?

Cush now you have cold air intake, why stop there?? Why don't you get a fully sick bunch of stickers and a bonet scoop? Clearly the stickers alone would increase your power by at least 40% lol.

Seriously though cool idea ;)

Cush, just take the round filter element out... and stick a huge bling K&N cone on the end of your pipe... whoa... then your really rocking! :D

Maybe cut the bonnet a little to stick the filter out as now its up in the race car category. ;)
