Hey!,

I fitted the HKS induction kit last night, took about 30mins which was good, it sounds fantastic and feels more responsive.

I did have the PiperX pk222 previously and the HKS feels quicker and louder, well worth the money!

Check out the pics!

Drippy D, What sort of money are we talking about for one of these and how easy are they to get hold of?

CooperSpeed13 · May 14th, 2003, 11:08 AM

There needs to be one for the S now! That looks great!

The line from my dealer was that if I brought the car in with the induction kit on it.... they wouldn't touch it!

Just replace the airbox before you go. Also put a gaffer tape patch on the bonnet lining directly above the filter to avoid suction damage and noone will be any the wiser.

Went to a new car clinic at my local BMW/Mini dealer. A response to that question was "any part not produced or reconqized by BMW/MINI is not covered" Meaning he added "unless the unauthorized part caused a Reconqized part to fail its covered by the warrenty" and example he used i believe was if I put a new head on mine and next week the mains blew out of the block. Unless it can be deteremind that the new head and over reving the car cause the failure then its covered by the warrenty. Also from what ive heard on this board it also depends on the dealer and the guy who writes it up

Hey people,

i would reply with some information but it looks like everyone's done it for me! cheers!

And next service i will just be changing back to stock.
The piperX did cause light damage so i will be using some gaffer tape this time round.

Thanks for the info on that Monsta Mo Mini!

Tom.

How cleanly does the gaffer tape come off? Surely you have to peal that off before a service also. It'd be just a tad fishy if you didn't.

Bonjour · May 15th, 2003, 01:38 AM

Harumph! We should have something similar here.

When are we becoming the 51st state...

That HKS filter has a very nice velocity stack design!

Better a wee gaffer patch than a dirty great hole

Unfortunately it comes off very cleanly. In fact it doesn't seem to stick well, it actually falls off

Bonjour · May 16th, 2003, 03:22 AM

I'm leaving the idea of an induction kit for the moment. It's one of the things my dealer mentioned by name as something that would invalidate my warranty.

Just ordered a K&N drop in filter though, so at least I can feel that I've done something.
