Hi folks,

Bought my first Mini last Aug a 1997 R reg Rover Mini Cooper Mpi and have been doing bits to it since ready for this summer.

Decided after hearing another Mini with a K&N to fit one as liked the noise. So not being mechanically minded I ordered them it it stated should fit an Mpi. The 57-0189 kit which doesn't seem to fit, in fact I can't see how it could, as I say not that mechanically minded.

Tried following the instructions but the diagram on them looks nothing like what I have in front of me when I remove the standard air box. Or I am looking at it totally wrong.

Does it make any difference the fact that my car was originally a Japanese model with the air con etc?

Any advice would be great as can't see any way of fitting it at present

Thanks Dave

Have you any photos of your throttle body?

if you have a jap spec mini it will be an spi with regards to the fuelling

the late jap spec mpi models were a kind of mpi/spi hybrid

Thanks that's what I was thinking after a lot of googling etc.

I'll have to send it back and hope they'll swap it for the Spi kit.
