    Was a bit worried when i first pulled the fitting instructions out the box but managed to fit it with no problems in about an hour.
    The only worry i had was that the inlet hose diameter was a fair bit bigger that the diameter of the the throttle body it connects too, gave the clip a few extra turns to make sure!
    The kit also comes with a brake booster silicone hose thingy, i assume i dont need this?? all the instructions are for a LHD mini so am i right in thinking its not needed for RHD?
    After going for a blast i noticed a lot better throttle response and a good bit extra oomph higher up the revs although it nows sounds like an electric car at high revs with all the squealing from the charger!!

    Kit was very good quality and would recommend it to anybody.

    Exhaust next!

    Away for a run to glen coe today so will post some pics later on.

    Didnt pick a very good day to go for a run!! Although I think Glen Coe looks even more immpresive with a bit of mist. The roads were seriously slippy,a golf driver found out how slippy right on front of me running into the back of a ford focus at the Glen orchy turn off! I nearly joined him I even had the handbrake on to bring the mini to a halt!

    Blueboy,
    Cameras a D200 with a Nikon 18-70 DX lens. Use a NIKON 70-200 VR for the track stuff.
    I started out with a D50, great starter camera i still have it and use it for emergencies! I needed something faster for Knockhill so bought the D200 but that might be getting replaced soon for a D300:)
