    Rear Wheel Bearings

    try ABS motorfactor. ive only just found them and used them for parts for my MOT, but i'll definitely be going back..... £20.68 for front wishbones, £15.99 for a whole outer sill, £20 odd for a std rear damper. i only found them a few weeks ago.

    Pulling to the left!!!!!

    yeah thats possible. the fact is that if youve changed the cv joint the old one was pretty knackered, and the new one was a bit of a squeeze in, meaning you'll have effectively moved the hub outwards, pulling it around from the track rod end.

    help car oversteering!!

    i wonder if you've got a tyre thats contaminated with oil. ive got one and it gives really unpredictable handling. sometimes its fine and i do my normal road speed, but sometimes the tyre locks up when i'm really light on the brake, and understeers in unusual situations.

    super charger

    i think it'd be a really jerky switch between super and turbo if you essentially just turn the super off. obviously its not easy to do but: i think you need a bypass (like k10 style), but opening based on revs instead of back-pressure (which is how i believe the k10 system works, but im not...

    Flywheel weight

    sounds pretty good, i'll have to go speak to my local machineshop.

    Flywheel weight

    yeah. the way i see it is like this: micras aren't powerful, but they are light. if you can take advantage of that then DO IT! my old 1.3L Si was faster to 60mph than a bmw 320 auto convertible with (apparently) 170bhp. my last micra weighed 747Kg with 10L of fuel in it.

    Flywheel weight

    true, but getting it professionally balanced is loads cheaper than being professionally lightened and balanced!
