afternoon of installs!!! catch can, strut brace, airbox mod.

whats up everybody. i finally got a chance to finish my mods that i have been working on for the past few weeks. i finished installing my greddy catch can. my umnitza carbon fiber strut brace, and i carbon-fiberized my MyMini intake heat sheild. so here are the pics.

my mini heat sheild.
i got a sheet of carbon fiber and cleaned it up a little after trimming for the strut brace. i think it looks good. the corner came out slightly wavey but all in all you cant tel when its in the car. here are some pics










here is the catch can. i used steal braided lines so they could handle the vacume. the hose that came with it just wouldnt cut it.




and finally here is the strut brace installed along with everything else.

It's an MSD high output coil( didn't know they made one for the MINI) with a set of Livewires.

Moss sells the Live Wires. Usually used woth the Screamin Demon coil
