It's better than the other yellow one on the site.

 

The HAI is from Webb Motorsports, but most intakes for the Mini are aluminum and alot of times powder coated black. Got the emblems from OutMotoring, but your can get the letters/numbers from a lot of places. That is a coolant hose, when I replaced my supercharger + other random things I put on some silicone hoses. Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with something, I have pretty much taken everything off my car and back on in the past almost 3 years.

 

Thanks,
Heres the intake my car came with:

I dont have the $ to get an Alta or anything so any Idea's on how to make it more efficient? Source of colder air or anything?

 

take the hood off... you dont need it anyway, unless you have the model with the lights built into the hood.... then take the hood off and duct tape some mag lights to your fenders.



...really Im here to help

 

One thing you can do is cut off the back of the plastic that is sticking out towards to firewall. I circled the section in this pic.

Most aftermarket intakes come with a whole new back section that is totally open to the air that flows in through the vents right below the windshield.

The end of my filter is right underneath the drivers side vent. Also , having a cover on top of the intake keeps away some of the engine heat that is flowing around under the hood. Not much else you can do about it. Unless you get this... The M7 AGS. (see the blue filter in there!)

 

Man i love this car i see it around alot. You have the same wheels i had on my M3 ASA AR1s you probally seen my M in radford, or when i used to have it lol. Get at me we will have to cruise to the track sometime.

 

Its funny I have the ASA's on my mini as well but in silver...

 

M7 Ftw. Hey you still got your stock springs laying around and if so are you inclined on sellin' them? Since, the base models have softer springs ftl.

 

Nope.. I've already sold everything I have taken off on NAM.
I'd buy some H-sport springs, They give a nice stance and feel great. I had them for a while before I got coilovers.

 

I think the thread for introductions is already a sticky. So why did you have to make your own again? I hate bmw bi-product people.
