Was your van bought off ebay? That is a nice clean machine. And you've got a nice build list too!
Those consulier cragars on ebay would look good on your van. But the factory hubcaps are priceless!

Need pics of that intercooler install!

I love the factory hubcaps on it.

I think I am usually one of the first people to watch your youtube uploads.

I'll bet that is that Scoobydoo guy's favorite YouTube vid:lol: Can't believe you've made so many passes on the stock fuel pump. More pics!

Awesome video. I bet that subaru was pissed!
When the shadow is back up, its on :)

I love those videos too! Its so difficult to get good video when racing. I hope i can get some good videos this year.

Did that van have running boards on it when you got it?

Yes the van was listed on ebay and had running boards and whitewalls when I got it. The stock fuel pump hasn't been an issue, that's why I haven't gotten around to swapping it out.

Here is an older photo of the intercooler setup and intake. Don't mind the zip ties haha it wasn't finalized.

I have enjoyed seeing your vids on YouTube, cool to see more info on it.
Any more engine bay pictures? I am thinking of putting my air filter up front like yours.

Yes, we need a full spread of pics!
You should add to the "Show us your mini thread" also.
No one has posted in that in a while.

Ah, a 'no ac' install. I guess since im not going to finish converting my old shitbox van to ac anymore, I could have done that too instead of a top mount. I still need to convert my 2.4l van BACK to ac and a more original rad/con setup. I'll force myself to do that one 'the hard way'.

If you still wanted to, i have brand new never used line sets for 89 mini. I really need to post them for sale.

Love that video beating the Scooby. Almost sounds like "what the hell?" in the background at 16 seconds. Like someone looked up from their PBR tall can and saw what was happening on the track..
