$3.00 piece of exaust pipe and $3.00 for brass fittings. wow if only I could pay off that $1600.00 Tig welder I will post more pics of the finished piece. It works quite well.

 

here is a slightly blury pic of the can installed

 

Too funny about the TIG though.

 

What purpose do these things serve?

 

Tig welders or Catch cans?

 

I may be a body and paint guy, but I know for sure oil doesnt burn to well in a internally combustable? engine and I have been collecting alot of crude oil

 

Sorry, catch can =)

 

who really knows but I had fun making it!!!!!!!!

 

explanation of catch can performance/use:

Thats what I meant to say but a whole lot cheaper and stronger, and less prone to leaking and I can paint it any color I want

 

Ya beat my $ 16 install. If only I had a welding machine

the first one

second can

 

your set up is awesome! Does your car even see the light of day? its so clean.

 

Just takes a little TLC.

I enjoy taking care of my stuff and living here, where the weather is nice year round certainly helps. :smile: :smile:

Not being a commuter, the Mini accumulates most of its miles in the canyons, on those nice, twisty, back roads during mid-week when nobody is around. Unless of course we are out on the Sportbikes and the Mini has to sulk in the garage.

 

i like the flame job on your hood. is that your work?

 

what kinda bikes R these??

 

Yellow one is the wife's 03 Honda 600RR, and the Raw Titanium is my new 05 Kawasaki 636. They are both fast, fun, and really corner.

 

NiCE, is this ur view from home, kick *** if it is....ill b in the market soon, lookin' 2get a Ducati Monster familiar?

 

No…we live down on the beach and this is a friend’s house about 15 miles inland. Kind of gets too hot out here in the summer for my taste........but the twisties start right there at the end of his driveway.

Gotta love those Ducatis. One of my “long term” plans regarding the Mini purchase was to have enough room in my garage (which I now have ) to make room for another bike......the 999 or ......if I win the Lotto........one of these.




MV Agusta.

 

its a joint effort between myself and Chip from aggressive paint works. I did the hood mod, fixed some dents, layed the two tone and silver pinstripe, Chip airbrushed the fire. And then I cleared it. Same with the Kenworth truck in my gallery.

 

yea, de.....999s, my long time obssesion till i checked the price the BMW bike packs 163Hp so that might b a good choice for me but still like the way that 'Monster' in 'Dark' looks.....i feel u on that makin' enough room in the garage bit, cuz i have a 63' bug in there taking up most of my townhouse size garage right now so ill have to make room soon cuz come winter...im out shopping

 

yea that truck is cherry...
any troubles w/rain and such? w/ur bonnet mod....

 

no troubles as of yet, but I figured the only problem you would have is if the opening was directly over the filter and its not. not to mention I removed the whole partition of the fire wall behind the filter and the lower air box assembly, I have hardly anything in the engine bay

 

yea but what about when its raining and ur motoring down the road, no water prob. the engine bay needs this mod brutally, i've been workin' on one myself but 2much water gets in when down pour hits so its on hold for now.

u removed the whole rear of the partition u say, is ur intake louder mine was.

 

tons louder. On cool dense mornings, it gives me goose bumps. I believe it will have the same effect as driving a convertable at highway speeds. you never get wet.

 

but when ur at a light or moving slower theres no way around it.
