Ah, not me then.

Wow, that'll do for me! :approve:

I'm in Stratford almost everyday for work, what time & colour 172 was it?

Why have you cut the bumper Daniel, some super secret mod you're not telling us about?

You can just disconnect the hoses on a 1*2s valve and leave it where it is, i've been running a V6 airbox for years that's not connected to anything, the acoustic valve is still in it's place doing whatever it does but without any hoses attached.

The only thing that'll cure a Yozza's noise is going deaf imo. ;)

No problem mate, this is a great place to learn about things like that. That's how i've learnt about my car. :approve:

I don't really know what you're asking me mate. The standard airbox has one short air feed that attaches under the box at the back, and one in the side that connects to the acoustic valve. You need both so the box can be fed with cold air from the short one that gets its air from the grill...

Wut? Just fit a cold air feed to the airbox and route it down near the acoustic valve, you don't need the bloody thing anyway.

Have you already bought it and what kind of filter does it have, and what the hell is that little fan bit about?

There are so many threads on how to do this it's unreal, but here's a quick guide. Do they need bonding on? - No Do they just clip on? - No What are they made of? - Rubbery plastic Do they need trimming down to fit? - Cut the tabs off to start with, then trim the ends off once fitted. Get some...

Please do this Noah, I really want to see how you get on, plus it might inspire me to start looking for my own Mini project. I can't believe you paid 500notes for that, proper cheap, does it run?

Well I do produce my own lubricant daily, I guess that helps.

Nice of you to notice, the prostitutes I strangled didn't think so.

I've just realised some Mk2s came with an electric sunroof, I reckon that's what it's for.

Quality mongo face aswell. :approve: Unless that's your normal face in which case, I think you should be wearing some kind of protective headware. ;)

So jealous, I really want an old Mini as a project, I know sod all about them but I think it would be a good car to learn rudementary mechanics on. They're also cool as f*ck! :cool:

I just started the car and the lights came on instantly, I also poured some water on the sensor and the wipers worked straight away. Christ knows what it's for, whatever it is I don't seem to need it.

Oh yeah good point, :o where's the bloody light sensor then? I know the wiper sensor is under the mirror, is the light sensor in the same place then?

Good point, i'll have to see if my lights come on in a bit when it gets dark.

Sweet, I was planning on going back to the 90s and see if I could find my dignity, I think I left it at a party while I was on acid.

Oh sh*t, that means my flux capacitor won't be working!!!

I was refitting the interior light console and seem to have a spare connector that doesn't go anywhere. I've plugged the light connector back in and put the climate control sensor back in it's place, but this just seems to be spare. Could it be for something on another model that my car...

Spot on mate, it really looks the part now! :cool: So is it just the interior left to do now?

Ohh nice, are you keeping the rims gold or are you changing them to silver like the TV car?

When i'm no longer poor I was going to get some pro race 3s, I was originally going to get pro race 1.2s but decided against it, seeing yours had made me want 1.2s again.

^^^That is indeed a pig! Sweet, cheers dude. :approve:

Ah right, so if I spray the housing with satin black paint and basically block the holes with the foam behind, will my climate control not know when it's reached the correct temperature?

As above, I have no clue what this thing is. It sits under the holes on the right, there's foam under it and i'm a bit worried about it getting blocked with satin black paint.

What!!!? I'm 37 and pay £450 fully comp with 9years protected NCB. I guess 200s are a hell of a lot cheaper to insure than a 10 year old 172.
