BRAKE COOLING SYSTEM UPGRADE
MINI MANIA PART NUMBER NMB4000
For 2002-2006 MINI Cooper Hardtops and
2005-2008 MINI Cooper Convertibles
Congratulations on your purchase of the Performance Brake Cooling System
Upgrade for the track. This setup is designed to reduce operating temperatures
of the front brakes under extreme conditions. The result is a more consistent and
predictable braking performance throughout an event.
NOTE: Inlet Scoops may prevent full-lock on the wheel once the kit is
installed depending on the size and offset of wheel – BE AWARE of this
when driving! Scoops can be modified to allow full-lock if necessary.
Kit Contents:
•2 ea. Anodized Backing Plate
•2 ea. Polyethylene Scoops
•2 ea. 500°F Silicone Ducting
•4 ea. 2.5” Hose Clamps
•2 ea. Flat Head Screws
•8 ea. Plastic Tie Wraps
Take all necessary precautions when working on your MINI. Mini Mania Inc. is
not responsible for any damages or injuries incurred during the installation.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Properly lift and
support the front end of
the car, and remove
the wheels.
2. Remove the brake calipers by removing the two bolts that secure the
calipers to the strut and support them in a way not to damage the brake
lines.

3. Remove the rotor
retaining screw (Flat
Head) and remove
rotor from hub.
4. Remove the dust
shield.
5. The new backing plate
can now be installed on
the spindle by using (3)
of the original Torx
style screws, and (1)
flat head style screw
provided in the kit.
When satisfied with the
fit, the bolts can then
be tightened to factory
specs.

lower control arm. One
method is to position
the scoop on the
underneath of the
control arm and
LOOSELY secure it
with the supplied tie
wraps. (You may need
to reposition later.)
8. Install the hose
between the scoop and
the backing plate
securing at both ends
with the supplied hose
clamps.

9. Place the rotor back onto the hub.
10.Re-mount the brake calipers and tighten the bolts to factory specifications.
11.With the car still up on the jack stands, rotate the steering back and forth
to check for any interference. The scoops will limit full-lock and rub the
wheel unless they are modified. If all checks fine, re-attach the road
wheels, and torque lugs.
12.With the car on the ground, have someone else SLOWLY rotate the
steering wheel back and forth while you check clearance. You may need
to move the scoop to gain proper clearance. Some wheel sizes and
offsets will cause rubbing as you approach full-lock – THIS IS
NORMAL. The inlet scoops can be modified for greater clearance if
necessary. Once the optimal position is established, tighten the tie
wraps to secure the inlet scoops.
13.Take a short test drive followed by an inspection to confirm all
components are secure. Re-check everything after your first hot session.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be aware of the reduced clearance and limited full-
lock with this track kit. It is recommended that the Intake Scoops be
removed when the track sessions are completed to prevent damage to the
components.
