As i have almost definitly missed the whole show season this year i have decided to modify my project a little more over the winter. i will be getting it MOT'ed and on the road as soon as i can to run in the new engine and will then fitting my recent investment a fully mapable megajolt ignition and a 7 speaker sound system too. One way or enougher you'll hear me coming.

Maybe I havent read the right articles, but they all tell me that to run a weber downdraft that you have to have a hood scoop cause the filter comes out the top of the hood to get clean, colder air. Did you go with a lower filter or what? Thats the carb I want to put on my mini just wondering how the setup might look afterword. Thanks for any info.

yeah it does stick out the top so i sold my one and went for a hiff44 instead as it didn't suit the car. if you do have it out the bonnet you cant have air flowing directly onto the filter as it can cause a vacum over the top over the carb starving it of oxygen plus you will find it very hard to get the mixture right as even if this doesn't happen as the air flow will never be constant.
