Right it's been a while since my last update and the lack of funds has been the problem! So I have just been enjoying motoring about.
However the other day I spotted this lurking in the shed!
It actually from the mini we have sat on the drive. (in bits for over 5 years!)
When I fitted the Maxogen intake I had to re route the cold air feed and this ment it came up short. So I have been trying to sort a longer piece of pipe but after finding this little gem I now don't have to.
I got lucky and the size of the ducting was 95mm the same size as my piping.
This made for a super tight fit and no messing with any tape etc.
I just needed to find a way to mount it. So with a rivet gun and some flexible metal strip I came up with this.
The screw will go into the tab on the bumper. Like so.
This is looking up into the new scoop.
It looks far away from the bumper but the outer edge is aginst the bumper and the mouth of the scoop is bigger than the cut out in the bumper so does fit very nicely.
It now means that the pipe has plenty of length and now fits into the pipe on the Maxogen.
Really chuffed with my free upgrade! I think the intake is a bit louder now it has a more direct flow of air but then again it could be in my head!
And a final picture after a few hours work
Oh and thanks for all the past comments.
