Lost track of this thread. Glad someone bounced it up again.

Got mine in and done, except I guess the picture below doesn't show the K&N cone fitted. In case you're wondering why I didn't tart up the engine bay some more, going to be pulling the lot again for a full respray some day, so not worthwhile doing anything more right now.

wow your engine is fantastic, where did you get your rad cap cover from!!

[greggy50]

This is the finished kit.

If there is enough interest I will make an inlet and have a limited run of copies made for people who want them.
I'm not looking to proffit so all costs would be shared by each unit 9more ordered the cheaper they will be)
Let me know guys

I will deffinatly have one of those it looks ace:) just pm me as soon as any more details are available

Think its you mate.

As for the induction kit...
I guess I'm gonna have to get cracking on a master item and then contact a fibre gash company

Thanks for the great replies

Hate to be a killjoy, and dont get me wrong, that induction kit is the badgers nadgers, but it probably wouldnt fit a mini with servoed brakes right? Atleast not without moving the servo or using a different pipe.

Oh and just to keep on topic, heres a picture of molly in her current state

i cant help but notice a few people have either painted their radiators or left the aluminium ones un painted

the reason radiators are painted black is that black disipates the heat better than any other colour
even if you buy an ally one it would be even better to paint it black

surley this amount of practicality overcomes the need for something that looks a bit different

dontn get me wrong they can look nice, but they wont be as efficient at keeping cool

Where is the air filter leading back to? How have you modded the carb to allow that to fit? - looks like an extra chamber of sorts?

Is there much difference performance wise from the positioning of that filter with it being able to catch more of the cold air than before?

Hi

The carb is not modded at all, bolted to the back of the carb is a modified maesto (or was in montego??) carb inlet that had the inlet neck cut off and relocated at a slightly different angle.

If you get one, cut it into bits and tape it back together untill its in the right shape and then take it to a fabrication company that has the gubbins to weld alloy. then you have a nice custom inlet.

The polished inlet tube is just a bit of boost pipe thats readily available from ebay, as was the filter and the silicone bend.

The whole kit cost me £40 to produce max.

There was a great improvement in mid to high range torque as I was not sucking in hot air from over the exhaust and it also seemed to stop the needle freezing up in winter.

A cheap mod that was something a little different.

It was done a couple of years back now but I still get asked about it, Maybe I should make another and have it moulded in fibre glass or carbon and market them as a kit?

What do people think?

i would be very interested in one! reckon it would work for a 998?
