What's the air box all about? With the 2 sock filters on each end?

Or is that not the air box?

Hmmm,

I'm very interested in that kit.

What engine spec is it going on, and what power figures do you anticipate?

Very nice car by the way!

I love this mini, one of my favourites on here. With this engine, it might push it even further up the list.
