the chain slack will depend on the milage really mate, a new chain will have some adjustment left even with 2mm, but the tensioner will be maxed out on a 100k mile chain 1.5mm should be about 11:1 on a 1.0 i guess and i have my 2mm skimmed and weldfilled head fitted to my current CG10 + t...

2mm is a lot for a 1.0 ! and it makes the lower chain pretty loose. 1 or 1.5mm is well worth it tho and same heads, just different cams

in short john, the easy 40 to 50mm budget option is suzuki or matiz rear springs on the front. another 40 to 50mm option if you want to try a different damper ratio shocker, is matiz frontshock and front spring with the k11 topmount. and if you want a 50 to 90mm drop, you can lower the perch...

the matiz front spring is a smaller dia at the bottom john, so spring options are limited really. its 11 coils and very long, so you can grind the weld tacks off and let the perch drop to the bottom (and still be captive) these are the complete legs from the previous pic ^...

it,ll work fine mate, which is why i suggested it ;)

aye, the postage is the problem i guess jesh, cant you fit an old type temp sensor into the lower rad hose ?

there,s a load of info on this guide mate :) http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/official-msc-k11-lowering-guide-faq.54269/page-7#post-654255

if you fit the shorter corsa rear shocks, there are various options for the rear springs shecky (matiz/suzuki/cut stockies etc) and full matiz front legs with the perches dropped will lower it a bit more than this (because this perch has been raised since, and only 1 leg is fitted)

looks like a pre nats type 5 :) i have a spare one jesh, but i use it for testing tbh

those numbers on the block are pretty irrelevant on a 20yr old engine tbh, there is only .3 thou" difference in scale plastigauge will assess the wear/clearance, but it wont acount for the inevitable ovality tho. i always fit little squares of foil (1 thou" thickness) onto the journals and...

best to check with plastigauge really pierce (i use baking foil tbh) and GA16 b/e bearings are the same size iirc and polly used MA mains shells

i dont think our ecu,s have any long term fuel trim/self learn, and most members who have fitted piggybacks have had to enrich the midrange iirc (stock or modded engine)

that black plastic screw is an air bleed eeyan, that bypasses the throttleplate and the 2 screws on the throttle position sensor are for adjusting the idle voltage (.46v iirc)

asdame (paul) used MA10/MA12 bearings iirc guys, and they are graded into precise sizes too eh

I don see how a knackered cat can effect the idle ?? Full throttle maybe, but not idle

heh, i,m firmly in the "spend obscene amounts of money" group rudy non of that ghetto **** for me :D

probably the same problem that paul had ? http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-29#post-460614

then its an idle control issue then mate there should be a pressure sensor on the top of the p/s pipe ? that signals the ecu to idle-up

is it power steered jesh ?

nowt in my inbox or junkmail as yet mate
