what did you do to your micra today ?
- Thread starter frank
- Start date
just got all my spares packed away after a brilliant day rallying the old micra yesterday at blyton park.
was a epic day, some nice drifts due to slippy conditions and even a nice battle with a Subaru impreza and a Peugeot maxi !!!
managed to finish the 1400cc class with a lead of over 3mins, beating a wide variety of quicker cars in my class - Peugeot 106's, protons, novas ect in my 1275 micra

Measured my steels for the first time, and the 7"+8" they are supposed to be are actually 8"+8.5"! Makes me a happy chappy indeed
You need to measure from bead seat to bead seat not from rim to rim.

^^ That splitter must be huuugee
I'm on a 30mm drop and my rather large splitter doesn't catch on anything except the largest of speed bumbs or I end up driving off a kerb
Standard!!!!

If you lower the car the height of the splitter you won't need it
But then it would be my bumper :O x

Im listening....Came up with a way of replacing the £130+ electric water pump controller I'm going to need for the GA for about £14

Nope... If I'm being really tight £3.79 haha:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=190990245487
I can have this set to pull the pump in at 82degrees
I can have a second thermostat to give a second temp range and have 2 speed control. I can have the first thermostat (low temp, say above 70 degrees) run through the pump through a PWM (pulse width modulator) http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=350921572780 to drop the pump speed and have a second thermostat module pull in a 5 pin relay at a higher temp (say the full 82degrees) to switch from the modulated supply to a solid 12v for full pump speed

WDIDT ? picked up my winter tyres from the kingpin retread factory

You want full flow before the fan kicks in though, the fan is a backup really.just have it wired to coast whenever the ign is on eh andy, then cut in fully via a fan switch

Stab in the dark here and may be unfounded but wont higher flow increase friction therefore temp?
I knows overridden by gping through rad and cooled at a faster rate etc.
You know this stuff I'm just quizzing

Ok, so actually you only need the minimum flow required to maintain the correct operating temperature... So you're right frank I could have the fan control kick the pump into full flow when the fan comes in...Stab in the dark here and may be unfounded but wont higher flow increase friction therefore temp?

And Andy the flow speeds are nowhere near high enough for water friction to generate any heat

Thought I'd throw it out thereAnd Andy the flow speeds are nowhere near high enough for water friction to generate any heat
No way of having flow rate linear to rpm?
