Fitted the Pipercross cone filter on Saturday,and a 200 mile run on country roads and motorway at the weekend shows a remarkable improvement on throttle response.The induction noise is now up slightly under heavy acceleration , but it's not intrusive, and can easiliy be diminished by turning the radio up a notch .

Very impressed, and highly recommended modification , that can be easily removed in 5 mins, prior to service to avoid possible Warranty arguements in the future.

Podger, where did u get your Pipercross kit from and how much was it?

Bonnie Scotland · Nov 11th, 2002, 08:57 AM

Price is £100 + vat + delivery from minispares.com

See attached picture fro install:-

tc · Nov 11th, 2002, 09:01 AM

Thanks bonnie scot.

Do you know what the model number is cos minispares http://www.newminisport.com/perf_induction.asp sell the cooper 's' PK240 Induction Kit for £69.95. I was just wondering if this is the same one.

Regards,
TC.

Bonnie Scotland · Nov 11th, 2002, 09:09 AM

Hey TC,
Go here http://new.minispares.com/
It's listed actually on the front home page, part number NME2008

Why lucky, cause it is now only £90.91 + vat and delivery and no it is not the same one as the PK.

Sorry for any confusion

Once again thanks v much.

tc · Nov 11th, 2002, 09:34 AM

I've just been on the pipercross website and they have it listed as pk240 which is the same as the one listed at minisport http://www.newminisport.com and i've just rang minisport and they've confirmed that it is the full kit with heatshield etc for £69.95

wow they must be cheap.

TC.

Bonnie Scotland · Nov 11th, 2002, 09:56 AM

TC, there is a difference between miniSPORT & miniSPARES,
The sport site shows the cone and no heatshield, the spares site shows the heatshield.
I guess thats where the main difference in price comes from.

Best bet is to PM podger and see what he got.

I know that mine is from minispares and it defo has a heat shield.

The picture on the minisport site is of the pk222 which is the induction kit for the MINI cooper not the 'S'. I live quite local to MiniSport so I could always pop in and check. If it comes with the heat shield (which they said it does) then £69.95 must be a bargain.

TC.

Simon Jackson · Nov 11th, 2002, 10:08 AM

PK222 is the Cooper kit, not the Cooper S Kit. Our site has suddenly lost 10% all of a sudden, price will be £100+ VAT, however I will honour any ordered at the price it shows. It will change at the end of the day though!

Simon I don't want to start a price war or anything but why is your kit priced at £100 +Vat when Minisport have the same PK240 Cooper 'S' kit for £69.95 inc VAT?
(Just tryin to help Mini2 members get the best deals im sure you understand)

If Minisport have it priced incorrectly then I hold my hands up but they have confirmed the price to me over the phone.

TC.

Simon Jackson · Nov 11th, 2002, 10:31 AM

I have just spoken to Mik up at Mini Sport, he thinks they have made a mistake, they are going to sort ASAP! Pipercross's retail is £115+ VAT!

Bonnie Scotland · Nov 11th, 2002, 10:45 AM

Looks like the proverbial can of worms opening up here.

Simon,

hehehe! I think your right. Mini sport have confirmed to me that it's not definately underpriced but they'll know in an hour so i'll let u know. If it is underpriced then i've shot myself in the foot with that one

. I should've ordered it at the wrong price and kept my gob shut.

If it helps, the playmini exhausts on their site were also underpriced

Quick! Order!
