They flow enough for 150BHP aledgedly. Should be plenty for mine, but I guess it's all down to what goes in the fuel map.

Andy is this going on a small bore or large bore engine?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Had a few hours yesterday so did a bit on this.

Got the battery fitted in the engine bay. I decided to weld up the split in the inner wing to make the mounting area as strong as possible (and I'm fairly sure flex there causes the top corners of the wing and scuttle to rot out). Typical of this mini, it had a nice crack in it...




.

I've used rivnuts, but having thought about it some more, I think I'm going to weld some spreader plates to the inner wing and just use nuts.

Also made a start on another pair of doors. They're read for the lecky stuff fitting and putting on a diet.

About a 6KG weight saving, plus the long length of wire from the boot. Spot on. I won't have much power, so I've got to take out every gram I can...

That one's a PVR25 from here:

We have basically the same thing on the van, but it's an ebay special. Been spot on so far.

Finally got round to looking at my trumpet issue. Took some measurements and gave it all to Fast Carl. A few days later my problem was solved.







Top work as always from Carl.

Been beavering away when I've had a few minutes here and there, sorting out my diet doors.

Made some holes...




Lecky windows and remote central locking.



Alu skins, not held on with gaffa tape. *wink*




They look to fit OK (no hinges etc, just dropped in the hole). Just need a bit more fettle at the top corners. I'm not sure pop rivets are the best fixing to use at the tops, so need to have a think about that (Any suggestions).




Saved around 2KG per door, plus the saving from the plastic windows. :)
