good work there! if only my lathe had 50mm larger cutting diameter!

cheers guys. hopefully ill make some progress over the holidays!

ive nearly got all my bits for a high compression engine now, but i was looking through the pdf manuals, and they say do not reuse the piston after removing the gudgeon pin. any advice on this please as i dont want to have to find some brand new pistons.....

yeah some people sell items that they call stage 1, stage 2 etc.

aah i see gotcha. might have to try that myself around this area.

have the coilies gone?

that sounds fun. would you be able to lighten one for me if i got it to you? i'd buy this one but my money's tied up until feb or so... i'd do it myself but the working diameter on my lathe is too small... by 50mm!

i read my first thread about lighting wiring the day before mine set on fire!

195/50/15 are 14mm bigger diameter than 155/65/13. its not an issue at all. yes you lose some acceleration, but the corner speed is fantastic.

i thought the k12 1.5dci was a renault engine......

no i dont plan for a 4x4 diesel. its only an idea at this stage though eh?! yeah ive seen loads of people get bored of projects and end up scrapping the car. just dont want people to scrap micras haha! you dont wanna spend loads of time and money to end up with a selection of sorted scrap...

look, i gave a reasonable answer to a reasonable question. people are throwing silly-money projects in as "fun to do" ideas. turboing a cg13 is sensible,, because its fairly cost effective and gives good results. a silly thing to do is where you spend too much money and end up with either no...

actually, sod it. twin vg30

well f*** my sensible idea then. twin engine it mate. twin rb24dett.

the option seems simple to me. put up with the pain in the ass of snow chains. its loads less effort than re-bodying a subaru justy. the justy is the closest option, as the wheelbase and track WILL fit within the arches on a micra.

i rev the tits off things!

theres rumblings from both sides of the fence here......! yes cold air means its more dense and therefore more oxygen to burn.... good thing but..... cold air will cool the fuel as well, reducing the atomisation of the fuel, making the burn worse........ bad thing yes having an airbox means...

coil-over plug or individual coil per cylinder type like yours are just a more modern design. your design has 4 coils to create HT electricity. each one sorts one cylinder out. an earlier micra has a distributor and a single coil. the charge gets distributed to the correct cylinder. the...

genius Frank nice one haha! ive got a pair of CV joints to do at the weekend. new steering arms as well, so i may well get to the g/box mount as well! ive got about a 50mm drop at the moment, so how far do you think i'd have to lift the mount? i was thinking (as i have a decent lathe and a toy...
