How do you see a traffic light if you are first in line?

I've got a set of the ducts here with me and my Cooper, and it doesn't look like it's going to work:

You're gonna need the MCS facia...it's not expensive...don't stop now...

 

What grill is that? I've been looking for one for a while and this one looks great!

 

Awesome job on the brake duct mod

 

Pretty neat... Not sure if it's worth losing my fogs over, though... But I admit I don't much occasion to get the calipers hot enough to get much fade. How much did the ducts cost, though?

 

Way Motorsports has the ducts.

 

Well, here's my brake duct install.

I did (8) 20 minute track sessions at Sears Point last weekend over two days, ducting really helps.

 

I'm glad to see rivets are popular...

 

Msfitoy - A big thank you for your photo "how to".
Gave me the confidence to do this.

Plus a .250-20UNC tapped hole for the fender well housing mounting - no "structural zip-ties" here.

 

Sid, on the passenger side, how much clearance do you have between the brake duct and the crank pulley? From my estimation it looks between 1" and 2", probably closer to 1". I'm a bit worried that simply zip-tying the duct to the liner won't be enough.

I'm half way done right now.....have both sides trimmed and one side of the fasic cut out. Need to find myself a rivet gun now.

 

dubble bubble...

 

Nothing to worry about Shoe...even my zip ties has held tight...there's plenty of space from the pulley...

The reason I use zip ties is to allow a floating connection between the duct and the funnel which is fixed to the facia...the facia will flex independent of the chassis during hard cornering so the zip ties against the duct act as a spring tentioner holding the two together...

 

Ok thanks Sid. I take it from your comments that 1" should be enough?

Also you had mentioned earlier that you needed to trim the aluminum bumper corners slightly. On the driver below, this is the area you're talking about, right?



On the passenger side, at least, I didn't have to trim any metal. Perhaps this slight difference is due to the difference in the way we lined up the ram intake on the cover?

Thanks for the comments. Always helpful....

 

Nice job on the ducts guys. Sid, your work is nuts as always.

 

Yes, great job as always. I know this has been done for a while, but somehow I missed this thread. I will have to get a hold of you next time I am up there Sid.

 

This shows what we had to cut...

 

Thanks for posting the pic gnaster. I wonder if everyone has had to cut into their bumpers.

I'll have to reanalyze the fitting....

Got any more pics that haven't been posted on your other thread?

 

Thanks for the pics. Helps for later planning.

 

Mixed in my Picasa Album are more pics of the install.

I just went through all your pictures in your website link and I must say that your mini is one of the sexiest mini's ever man... did you install this, im guessing cruise control, after the mini was purchased. please explain.

 

I think that is because he has a momo steering wheel. He relocated the MFSW buttons.
Sorry Nate, did not mean to speak for you.

 

Someone should photo shop gnaster's and misfitoy's interiores together -
