Oh yes quite. Har har.
what did you do to your micra today ?
- Thread starter frank
- Start date
Did this nifty little clutch lever mod which
*Gets me a little longer from my stretched clutch cable
*Pulls the clutch quicker
*Shortens the bite window
*Increases the firmness feel from the clutch pedal
thats neat, did it take much work? also can you move the bite point like this? mines very high so theres lots of useless travel on it...

Sweet!
Thats my weekend sorted then!
The boss will be pleased when its all in as iv taken up a lot off space in the workshop
Yes Joe, it can change the bitepoint, though a quick twizzle on the grey thumbwheel in there is meant for doing exactly that.
I drilled a hole vertically down through the lever, then cut two slots to it using a hacksaw blade held in a cloth. A quick tidy up with the dremel and voila, 'Hello uncle Robert' You can also lower the pedal resting height easily with the adjuster bolt above it. Mines now slightly down level with the brake pedal.

I bought a copy yesterday. Had toIn case no one has seen it yet, some Micras from this month's Banzai.

After speaking to Frank aka the oracle I decided to go down the corsa piston route
Well after what seems like ages ( the bloke who deals with boring went on the sick Grrr ) I've had the newly machined block and pistons back
The machine shop wernt happy to skim the block untill I'd built the bottom end up and measured the piston to deck height.
Sooo this afternoon I built it up
Measured repeatedly and came to the measurement of 3mm to be removed ( Frank had already told me this figure but they insisted I measured )
It's all been broken down and the block is ready to go off again to get skimmed
Closer pic of piston

A weekend of work in the garage has seen me fitting the newer and uprated Spax front shocks, fitting the Humprhis Grp A exhaust system, mounting the hyd handbrake and bias valve (will be plumbed in later) and fitting the 22mm Whiteline adjustable rear ARB to the rally car, still got the 1600cc injectors, brake cooling ducting, and Grp A airbox still to fit, and a CF HID lamp pod to wire up and build.

Passed the MOT
Got back and removed the OEM airbox and lots of un-needed brackets and the carbon canister. Going to fit the 1600 injectors, but found they are very very tight, any tips on un-doing them?
Also removed the cam cover to clean and paint that, do people bother with a new gasket or just a clean up, bit of silicon and away we go?
