Mini Cooper 1.8T Swap / Modified Fuel Rail, Wiper Assembly, Coolant Pipes

[@MrAndrew1400]

Well done mate, it’s the little things that make the whole thing look “factory”

[@klegraefe]

Much appreciated Andrew! I’m still not totally happy with the wiper assembly but idk what else I can really do. Mainly because when I finish off that fire wall it’s going to be extra tight, there may be a way I can slim down the assembly we’ll see. Other than that I’m quite pleased with the rail and pipe sliming up next to each other 😁🙏🏻

Super fancy, looking good. Little tip on the clubby grille, put a bit of rubber/tape on the tabs that slot into the body otherwise they can rattle

[@klegraefe]

Wow that’s a really clever idea!! 💡 appreciate the tip man thank you 🙏🏻👊🏻👊🏻😅

Cracking on now mate, that water pipe looks fresh 👌🏻

[@klegraefe]

🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻Absolutely and hoping it will do the job!! I was so tempted to use a piece of Stainless tube I had in the bin but the OD was a tad small so the rusty older pipe made due haha

[@gafrers]

Great job as always. Loving the progress and details. Enjoying the longer and more explanatory videos. P.S. glad to see less and less of the awful red paint mess done by the audi "owner"

[@klegraefe]

Thanks Gafrers, I have been aiming at doing longer videos but still a challenge of keeping it interesting. And I get overwhelmed all the time haha. But yes, I can wait to get rid of all the red actually, it’s driving me insane 😂😂🙏🏻

Great job, once again a great video. Realy interesting what you mention about the pinholes in the coolant pipe. Last year i welded my own intercooler piping. Kept getting pinholes that i needed to go over many many times to get them out. Still dont realy understand why i couldnt get them all out properly.

[@klegraefe]

If anything I would say because the metal wasn’t totally clean and can cause impurities wen welding. Mine however was not totally clean either haha as u can tell I get impatient from time to time 😂😂 but I do feel confident, if anything that radiator I did a month ago was stressful as the pin wholes kept popping up out of nowhere haha

[@J4rn0]

@@klegraefe ah ye that might be it. I used low quality chineese stainless. Welded with regular steel mig. I also het realy impatient with these things somewhere halfway a small project hahaa

[@klegraefe]

@@J4rn0 low quality Chinese stainless is my favorite 😂!!! That’s what I’m using for my exhaust 😅

Whats the brand name of the rachet tool set your using ?

[@klegraefe]

The Rachet I believe is a “Gearwrench” from Home Depot. My friend in the shop gave it to me. Has a 90 tooth drive and I like it 👍🏻

@@klegraefe looks just as good as the Habusa mini !!! Still throwing the BMX around ? Season has just started here in New Zealand for BMX

[@klegraefe]

@@ClwnJuNkY I wish!! Between working on the car and working at work, I haven’t had much extra time, I’m hoping to come back strong in the spring as winter has just began over here in New England. and 2 weeks ago I cracked a rib so that didn’t help 😅😅🤷🏼‍♂️.
