Hello, ive seen this mod once before and cant remember where. It was a mini scoop, more like a large louvre above the airbox location on a Mini S. Has anyone ever seen/done this mod?

 

The Webb Motorsports SportBox?

 

Maybe the Orciari cowl scoops...



...i'm not sure who this MINI belongs to, I found the pic in the Google image search.

BTW...while the scoops look cool, the drivers' side one would need to be taller for any significant airflow to be forced to the air box area.

 

not sure what you are referring to either..but here are my "louvers over the airbox"

 

^^^are those the scoops from Moss? They look better than I thought they would...Nice car BTW

 

No, it was a single scoop (drivers side only), literally over the airbox, on the hood, i imagine it was a custom job. It looked like it was about 4-5in wide, and somewhat curved. I think it was on an orange mini in Modern Mini..?

 

I remember that car/mod. It looked like an old shaker scoop on a V8 muscle car. You could replicate my FAD:

 

Yes they are. I put them on unpainted because they match the flat black stuff on my car already. I really like them. The picture MOSS has online and in their catalog make them look like crap.

 

Sorry, not to sound dumb, but what do you mean by FAD?

 

Found a pic of what im talking about (its obviously custom, but am wondering if anyone has done it or knows how its done):

 

Oops. Sorry upside down:

 

Most likely it's fiberglass work.

 

That's pretty cool

 

A: "what does it do?"
B: "it sucks in air"
A: "...it is definitely sucking"

 

Given the poor image quality, my guess is that it provides about the same amount of air to the airbox as my Fresh Air Diverter (FAD). So why cut a hole in your bonnet when you don't need to?

 

DR. Phil,
is your FAD a one off or is it for sale somewhere or from u?

 

It's a one-off, integrated with the scoop. I'm just too busy to make these things, sorry.

 

ZING!
