    Tough break for the MINI JCW team. They had the pace for the outright win at Road America today but had to pit sooner...The post MINI JCW Racing Misses 2nd Place on the Last Lap appeared first on MotoringFile.

    I noticed that the race team kept the factory air box. Everyone with an F series that has one of the aftermarket hot air intakes take notice. I've found maybe 1 aftermarket solution that MIGHT be a decent factory replacement, the rest are just a tube with a cone filter on the end, USELESS!

    Love me some MCM :cornut: Been watching those guys for years. This very video is what changed my thinking on "cold air intakes", I had one of those "AHAA!" moments. At the time I did have a HAI on my Accord. After that video it went flying into the trash. I'm all for an aftermarket intake, IF IT PULLS FRESH AIR. Most of what I see on 2nd and 3rd gen MINI's is HAI's. I do a face palm every time I see one. I did change my factory air intake, but it still pulls fresh air.
