You still need a large positive cable to cover the cranking over.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one Ant.
Can't go wrong if you have a couple of good chunky cables in there (save weight elsewhere), I'm with Agent Smith though both need to be just as heavy IMO.

Im an aeronautical engineer on avionics and electronics for the raf on the hcmk4 chinook and the eurofighter typhoon. Believe me the current to start the car is pulled through the negative terminal.
Its not a ground cable. Its an earth back to the battery through the bodywork. But its common knowledge in electronics electrons travel negative to positive as theyre negatively charged and are attracted back to the positive terminal.
You could start a car with 18 gauge pos wire as long as the neg is chunky.

That brings back some memories haha.
Looking good though, the german regs not let you fit stuff for competition only purposes?

Yes its possible, but not a lot. As i want to have the car still road legal i'll have to go with that. otherwise i need a trailer and a license. thats what i didnt want.

Car is running and just need to sort out some small things, so i will get Tüv (MOT) in the next week or two.
I got another Cable for my Battery which is now 50mm²
Also i got a rear strut bar fitted now, and the bucket seat is fitted aswell.
Next up are mods to the engine and drivetrain.
I will swap in the 1.0 gearbox +flywheel +pulley.
Also i will build up an second engine with 1.0 pistons.
I've ordered a Nistune board and will get my friend, who does a lot of mapping around here, to map the car
Can't wait to get the car on the road again!

Today i did my first laps on the famous nürburgring nordschleife. quite happy with the results, as the tarmac was light wet on some areas and since i practised the track on xbox
Car feels great with the RSR Tyres and Coilovers. Still having some minor rubbing issues on hard dampening, will have to figure out if i up the coilovers a bit.

Well its been a while (again!)
And it's that time (again!), every two years or so, i'm getting my K11 rebuild and ready for the road.
It's still there, it's still running (sort of)
But haven't been driven for around two years (again!)
Due to unforeseen circumstances, earth rotation and moon constellations, i need to get my micra back on the road.
Time shure has taken it's toll and the poor thing had moss growing all over the chassis (again!)
I started by scrubbing the dirt down, which was surprisingly harder than i thought.
I had an issue with bad idling and running on three cylinders. As i had this problem before, i found this faulty GA16 injector to be the issue. For now i placed a stock injector in, but i will order another injector.
After that i cleaned the whole interior and gave the boot a quick touch of paint. I still have some old faded stickers on the upper half, which is so annoying to remove as they are paper stickers.
Re-fitted the drivers seat, and all now much nicer looking (again!)
For now i need to wait till my orders coming in. After my power steering failed on me on the nürburgring, i swapped it for a non power steering gear.
I've needed shorter pulley belts, which i have to fit. Also (unfortunately) the semi's i've ordered, are not road legal here in germany, so i have to get some other tires. I hope the rest will be fine, lets see how i turns out
