cush on a serious note, a guy a work told me that it will boost hp and make the engine run better. but he forgot to mention with that id need to retune the carby for the cold air flow, so i went to mini king and asked the glen (mini) and he told me its gonna do nothing cause mini's suck in cold air already and that all im gonna do is upset my mixtures. which is a downer but see how you go, you might have more luck

If you are so damn clever why don't you come up with an innovative way of fitting a return spring to your clutch arm.

Why do you need a cold air intake in winter anyway?


Tiny, I am not people.

didnt say u were morris i was refering to people on this forum (they know who they are)

because the coke bottle doesn't matter, but not having a clutch arm return spring will f*ck your thrust bearing

You do need a spring on the clutch, one day you will realise why. (so you can borrow it when the throttle spring breaks.)

How could I pick on the Coke bottle when I have a streets ice cream tub under my bonnet. Just one thing though, it is not an expansion tank, it is an overflow tank, there is a difference.


Thank you tiny for spelling people correctly. You now have my respect. You are now in the running for the most improved poster of 2007.

Tiny, you must try and remember that people of Mike_Byron's old age generation where belted over the knuckles for bad spelling and bad punctuation when we, eeerrr, mean he was going to school.. Old habits die hard..

Btw cush, paint that noozle silver and it will look the part, don't know what part tho

hear hear

Tiny
You are right, I pick on you without mercy. If it offended you then I am sorry, but you will notice, I dont take the piss out of you. I also notice that you are now putting an effort into writing correctly. That is good. There is a difference between struggling with english or a reading problem as against just not doing it properly.

If you give the people you are trying to communicate with some respect by putting an effort into your writings then I will treat you with respect. If you just continue to write shorthand then I will regard it as a lack of respect and I will no longer pick on you - I just wont care.

Others may, I wont. !!!!!!!

i know.. i almost wrote overflow aswell... but for some reason it came out expansion...



feel free to explain..


oh.. and please this isn't the ****ing grammar thread...so start ur pwn..

Tiny, the guy you spoke to is contradicting himself. He's said it won't do anything because the mini already gets cold air (?), but also that it will screw your mixture.....how can both be true? It's been proven that the ram effect on a mini is as close to zero as counts, so you need to make sure intake temperature is what you're chasing, not any kind of dream of forced induction.

Hmmm... not that I endorse running with no return spring, but many cars do, including the Metro, which has a `similar' release bearing to a Mini.
BTW if you leave it off, the clutch becomes `self-adjusting' (as the little spring inside the slave cylinder keeps slack out of the linkage system).
But then you have no say where the takeup point is...
Hillman Imps successfully used this method too but they had a carbon throwout bearing...
