Turbo engine built!

 

[frank]

finished fitting my side impact protection bar
i jigged many a k11 during the 90,s, and they were surprisingly strong, but was alarmed at the lack of strength around the 3 door B pillar area (namely, there is NO actual pillar ! just the pi** thin1/4 panel skin/doorshut, and a pi** thin skin on the inside

 

[Machi san]

my mates mum had 3 k10a that all got rear ended at within about 12 months (she now drives vags), afeter seeing the states of the cars its seriously made me consider a roll cage

you've already type'd it down as yours :grinning:

 

[Scouse boy]

ahh that was my old SR mate, had another 5 micras since then... apologies for the lack of an update lol

 

[r-reg-sr]

i strongly suspect my sr was stripped of all power steer abs and even rear disc removed for drum axle.
i suspect this due to seeing scrapyard paint on the non power steer stuff ive now replaced with power steer

 

[Scouse boy]

What colour is your SR dude??

 

[will930]

What's this done mate? Made the stroke shorter? Or clutch softer?

 

[frank]

i find the 1.0 clutch a bit light under foot and vague martin, this shortens the throw of the pedal a bit, so that i dont have to move my foot as far from initial bite - to full engagement

 

[Machi san]

i always thought the cable clutch is too light, iam used to hydraulic stuff lol. have you tested it yet? i may have to copy

 

[frank]

it seems ok kev i think i will try a 3rd notch a bit further up (you can always return to the original notch eh)

 

[r-reg-sr]

frank boy :grinning: slightly more force/wear on the cable ?

What colour is your SR dude??

that turqwaa green then blue in some lighting conditions

[frank]

[frank]

cool dude! join the scraaaaape club!

[will930]

[frank]

slammage my butt fwn its a 4x4 now with these corsa coilies on (when you use the whole corsa topmount, and slot the 2 boltholes)
look at the arch gap ! the legs are longer than my matiz ones lol (and with the stiffer coilie spring, it sits 2" higher now)

 

[r-reg-sr]

:grinning: you got the helper spring on, whats it helping with

 

[frank]

nah, i took it off the one that is fitted to the car z (and then wound the collars up to about 2mm of preload)

 

[John_1.0]

went to the scrapyard...

 

[r-reg-sr]

you recon they differ from the one's we've bought on the net?
my springs 68 mm's from the botom measuring point we used(bottom mount top edge)

 

[frank]

its because i used the whole corsa topmount mate you end up with a lot more height, and its the same kit as yours (200-50 on the mainspring, and 100-20 on the helper)
i think i prefer the factory corsa mount, proper ballbearing thrust bearing (Y)

ah right trying to trick us eh :grinning:
my nissan bearings still good, but always room for improvement

 

[Machi san]

i run about 50mm slack in my springs. no helper springs. i have about 10mm of bump before it hits the stopper. its awesome!!

frank id put the matiz back on lol i find my ebay coilovers to be a bit bouncy, almost to the point its dangerous. i managed to get bilstein mx5 rear shocks which are amazing but the front end scares me.

i need to some gaz or spax front coilies :glare:

 

[frank]

frank id put the matiz back on lol

i probably will end up with them kev :grinning: i want to test out the vauxhall topounts and coilies first really, but the coilie damper is very firm on the downstroke (50/50 damper ratio) whereas the matiz damping is near zero downwards, and all the damping is on the upstroke
you can see where i slotted the 2 boltholes here eh

its probly the helpers stop the low speed bounce with dampers helping em

frank, looks like doing away with helpers might let the body move up the leg ?
