Hi all i know what your going to say... its easy and fit it yourself but, i really don’t have the time and my other car is in bits over my pit so i cant do it at the moment.
Does anyone know were i can get it fitted by either a mini specialist or a very good garage that has done them before in the East Sussex / Kent area a price guide would be good as well
Many Thanks Scrapy

MLM (previously Minilikes Motorsport) in Knockholt, near the Hop Farms. Very very good place.

Talking of stage 1 kit, What do they include?
Is it:
RC40 exhaust
Filters
and jets?
<|Binge|>
Are the jets hard to fit? Ive done them on my moped more times than I can remember, but never on a car

On a proper car you would get:
Exhaust
Exhaust manifold
Inlet manifold
Air filter
Needle
Gaskets and fittings
Because the SU is a great carb, you never need to re-jet one (different jets are available but the one that came with the car is good for tons of power if it's in good condition). In SU's the fuel metering is controlled by the needle.
BUT
Your car is injection Binge, so it doesn't even know what a jet is!
All you'd get in a stage 1 kit for an injection car is a cat-back exhaust and an air filter. It would make the car sound different, but that's about it. To get any noticable increase in performance from an injection motor you need to spend a bit more cash. And you can't re-map or chip the ECU on a '95 SPi, so you have to get the power in other ways.

I feel dumb now :sad:
WHY did I say "jets" when its an injection car :nugget:
Well thats all im after, the sound :cheese:
So can I just buy an RC40 pipe and a High flow filter and it will be bolt on parts? Or will I have to adjust the engine to allow it to run without being lean?

You just need to reset the ECU and it will immediately start re-mapping itself to adapt to the new parts. But even if you don't do that it will slowly re-map itself over time as the ECU is adaptive and learning. Resetting is faster as the engine will dump its learned map and go back to the factory settings, and start learning again from there. The reset procedure involves using the ignition key and throttle pedal, but I can't remember it exactly. It's in a lot of the technical books and magazine articles, but if you can't find it I'll try to dig up a copy of it for you.
