For those unfamiliar with the wee little beastie you can find some piccy's here & info on the car can be found on my profile, also Waynne has written a rather spiffy too, which you can read here. The 100R is my daily driver, occasional track day car & I've had her for about two months now. What follows is an ongoing log of my hamfisted attempts to ruin her, sorry I mean improve her. Only parts that are an improvement or help the cars performance will be considered. The maxim will definitely be 'If it doesn't make the car faster, it's not going on'!!!
I'm not the most experienced person when it comes to tinkering with cars but I will have ago at anything. So try not shout at the your computer screen too much & any advice you can offer I will happily accept :amuse:
There's already a small list of bitty jobs that need doing such as,
Curing a couple of water leaks inside the cabin.
Getting the car waxyoiled befor it starts to dissolve, it's all solid now but it won't stay that way!
Remove the tar sound proofing.
Replace seats with MG ZR or MGF seats for better support.
Replace Steering wheel with possibly an MGF item.
Air filter.
As far as performance goes 143bhp 1.8vvc engine pulls nicely & progress is quite nippy, but there's plenty of scope for improvement. So with that in mind the first thing I plan to look at is the air filter...
It's a simple solution but I think it can be improved upon. :amuse:
Now, I think I'm starting to understand what you have done Stamford. There are two pipes running from the cam cover to the intake assembly one to the front of the butterfly & the other goes into the intake manifod. I assume this carries the oil vapour to reburnt in the combustion cycle?
Here are my first questions then
I think I'm going to go for BMC CDA filter assembly as soon as I figure out which one to buy! I want to attach it to a 90 degree silicon elbow to the inlet, what diameter hose will I need, will a 70mm hose 'stretch' over the inlet?
What can I do with the breather pipes on the cam cover, I have a hazy Idea but I'd appreciate some confirmation please. :embarrest:
Thanks for looking.

Whipping off the air filter of reveals a 70mm O/D opening.
