Cosworth turbo'd 1.3
Update.
Welded in a small silencer in the center and now has a lovely deep noise and has got rid of the nasty rasp that straight through exhausts have. Still pops and bangs and has the very occasional flame on boost lift off!
Refitted the boost gauge and realised that 9psi is a bit much i think. Didnt realise it was that high!
Turned the boost down for now. haha

Well the almera seats are almost a straight swap, the bases are a little bit wider than the micra ones so would need a little bit of cutting and shaping but should fit.
I fitted the skinner Almera leather steering wheel which feels million times better than the fat old micra steering wheel... that was pretty much a straight swap too.
Even took the missus to tesco in it.

I have floored it in 1st/2nd/3rd gears and have been maintaining about 11.5 to 12.5 AFR under boost. After that it goes into closed loop which ill be bypassing at the weekend.
But yeah i've been getting full boost and flooring it... why have you stayed so long off boost?

Still got to put one more gauge in and either sticker bomb the pillar and pod or mould it to the pillar trim and paint it.
*cough cough*

Both have empty tanks, bit thirsty are they?
N'ah, just poor times, that photo was taken like 12 years ago or something.....
Hehe, not really. I just remember taking a photo of my speedo ages ago and your photo was almost exactly the same
The older K11 speedos wont go any higher though as the needle rests on the trip reset. I was thinking about changing speedos but a decent tacho and shift light is far more appropriate on a circuit car, so the oem item will stay there for MOT compliance.
