twin 1.5 SUs Induction

Hi All

My retro mini cooper s tribute that i recently bought has twin 1.5's fitted to her 1293cc R Walker engine and no soundproofing....much as i love the sound it makes along with the SCCR box and drop gears I am wondering if there is a relatively efficient airbox arrangement that i could use to replace the K&Ns (or cover them) to make it a teeny bit more refined?

She's a real challenge at present. The fuelling isnt right & the "minitastic coil" conversion is not great so I think she'll be off to Southam MMC soon to be set up properly and then might be going back to doughnuts


cheers

Paul

Not seen the Vortz ones..Do you know where i can get one from? Or are they old parts that are no longer available new?

There is a Vortz facebook page .
The guy who has set that up will get in touch with the man himself .
As for cost ........ I was quoted over £400 at the beginning of the year .

We asked 1071bob if he'd knock a few out.
The concensus was every bugger + spit the dog would have one hence killing desirability.
There's been a few threads about it in recent times - use search function
If you can deal with Nick directly(not easy)and get one BONUS.
