Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
What can transform a peaceful sylvan lawn in Gold Country into a carnival overnight? The annual Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party of course! Those who were there got to see first hand all the eye candy, but for those who were not, the Mini's ranged from an electric Moke to a VTEC powered Classic, to Randy Steven's tricked out CVT to Robert Holt’s Purple Haze convertible to three full on Mini race cars: my sprint car, Jacques Andres' enduro car and Eric and Colin Herricks's rally car, and many in between.

Race Report -USTCC

Infineon Raceway, April 11, 2008.
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
My Mini has a new setup for this race. Speed parts from my sponsor Mini Mania have been added by my sponsor Bay Bridge Motors and USTCC sponsor Nitto has provided four brand new NT 01 tires. This will be my first official race with the US Touring Car Championship and I look forward to hitting the grid with more horsepower and quicker lap times.

MINI Clubman Review

Published: 21st April 2008
The new MINI was launched in 2001, to much acclaim. Although bigger than the original Mini, what it lacked in rear legroom, it made up for in unusual styling and a vast array of personalisation elements, much loved by a local estate agent.

The MINI Clubman has the same raft of options but its main benefit is the extra length, which should make rear passengers happier.

>>1973 mini cooper clubman left hand drive<<

hmm, the brake and clutch masters and wiper motor appear to be positioned for Right Hand Drive.

I'll see if the air filter housing I have looks like what you want. If you are going to the Open House in Nevada City, next Saturday could bring it along.

It looks like you have other issues going on besides the hose.  From the photo, the lid does not seal against the body of the housing.  From what I see, it appears that either you have a metal bottom housing and a plastic lid, or the tabs that secure the lid in place are missing.  You are correct in that you will need another air box.  Where are you located?  It always helps to fill in your profile so others know who they are dealing with, and the city that you are in.  Sometimes there are local folks that could help you if they just knew where you were.  I have a few spare air boxes, but let's see if miniboo can help you first--I'm not trying to jump infront of his offer to you.

1 . MiniBoo-  That picture is too small for me to see, I've tried to blow it up but I can't. Could you e-mail that or blow it up? Also, Will the air box have fit my car?

 

2. I'm a dummy when it comes to car parts, what would I exactly type to search for this part on ebay?

 

3. I've tried to find hoes to fit the airfilter but no luck. I was told this filter is "sufficating" the air flow and causing it to run not at it's best. This car has "mad" getty up power, I just want to improve the power.

Hey I bought a 1973 mini cooper clubman left hand drive (frame is a 1969) and it doesn't have all the right parts in the engine.

Not sure what or how it's called but I need to get a fitted air box. Minimania doesn't sell it and they recommend me to post it online. Does anyone have one they don't need or an extra one???

I was told the small hose that's connecting underneath is the right size but I need one that actually fits to the small air hose and not sit on it. - ( See picture ) The one I have in the picture is to big and doesn't fix.

If anyone can help me get one or at least point me in the right direction.

THANKS ALOT
