what sort of wiring mods?

Just a quick one (Again)... What size speakers will bolt straight into the doors of a 1996 K11, 1.0LX?

Quick question guys! Looking at swapping the bumpers and lights from a facelift K11 and putting them on my early K11, Is this possible? Or are the mountings different? My bumpers are a nasty black and make the car look eons old. Any suggestions?

I found the forum was pretty dead and riddled with technical issues, So I dont know... But either way, Glad to hear that your micra is all A-OK =)

Driving along casually in the micra and I decide to drop down two gears and put my foot down, suddenly hear a noise that sounded like stones in the wheelarch followed by a nasty squeel. Pulled up, Looked under the bonnet and great... My alternator belt had split completely in half, I'm now...

I'm running Bosch Super-4's in mine =) the more electrodes, the better. My old sparkies were knackered so they brought back a few ponies to the stable.

So get the aftermarket cams for the 1.3? What increase will I be looking at realistically? Is it worthwhile tuning the 1.0 at all?

I know the power is exactly the same, It's the initial inertia of the engine. If the engine cant cope with the load on that gearing then all thats keeping it going up is the inertia of the flywheel. basically, having a heavier flywheel just delays the fact that you need to change down a gear by...

Looks like quite a low lift that does, And looks like quite a well made cam that can withstand high revs quite well due to the deceleration and acceleration... But then again, What do i know... I'm just applying simple physics to what I think I see =P You are on about the one all the way to the...

I would LOVE a light flywheel, apart from the loss of tractability uphill, which is something the micra could do with keeping lol, But eitherway, I didnt know you could get them lightened, I thought you could only get them out of the box and I cant find one for the micra! I reckon 15's would be...

P.S. Let me know what you think =) Or any other reccomended upgrades. And dont say a 1.3 conversion =P I principally will not go over 1000cc as I dont believe in capacity, i believe in efficiency of whats already there =)

Okay, Su just got myself a little k11 1.0 LX. Plans so far are to be lowered by 40mm, Strut brace to keep geometry straight, Suspension with adjustable dampening, Polyeurothene suspension bushes, anti-roll bars front and back maybe a set of 14" lightweight alloys. Brakes will be urated as will...
