frank

Hi frank, here's a quick question for you. Appreciate your help...
Someone unknown wrecked my left rear door. My K11 is preface lift - 1994 model.
So the question is: Will a rear left door from a face lift K11 fit my preface lift K11?
Because from all the pics i have seen the doors look identical?!
I can get the door at a good price, so please share your info with me

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks Frank

Hi Frank, i'm just building a new engine CGA block and pistons and a CG head. Any idea how much to skim off the head to get around 11.5 : 1 CR ?
Cheers Steve

Hey Frank, regarding the manifold; how much do you want for it?

Hey long time no see im considering getting a micra once again .. just wonderin to build an Highcompression engine witch is the better engine a 1L or 1.3L ?? as this would be a complete and utter rebuild project

Hi frank, I have just got myself a super s, u may have seen it before, but can u give me some advice about getting more power from it, and I also have a problem with it over fueling as I know its just a standard car, any ideas? thanks

Hi frank it's muzzy with the white super s, just wanted to know was it quite a bother to fit a turbo to your micra and how much did it cost you all in all. If I can, could I come and have a look see at your set up as I didn't get to see it at the meet. Cheers pal

frank ive just noticed my timing chain is rattling, do you know wheres cheapest to get one, or if i could just repace the tensioner if its worn badly? cheers

I daw that you sell turbo set ups mite be wrong though I am interested in getting one in the nect couple of months how much for a turbo setup for a 1.3cg engine if not any advice on gettin one up and running

Hi Frank. Are you still running turbo? Last time I read you were trying to make adjustable fuel pressure regulator using a vacuum advance unit from an a series dizzy. Did you get anywhere with that? Im trying to run ghetto boost at the mo

hope you are well.

you alright mate just a quick question was thinking of importing and sr16 to pu in my k11 juat wanted ti get some heads up before doin it for example do you kno if its plug and play or wether I need the loom and how dificult is it to do money isnt an issue yet haha

Hey up frank, is it ok if I bring my micra down to you on saturday or sunday for you to have a look at my sticky stiff gear problem. Thanks. Ryan.

Hey frank I was reading a thread and I saw your panhard rod
Is it home made? Does it do the same job as a white line one?
Anything to save money haha
Cheers Dan.

Hey up frank, I have sagging doors on my k11 1.3lx 3 door. I read on a thread that you used a block of wood to cure it. I am just abit confused on how it works and how you do it. Is it pretty simple to do. Please can you type me up a step by step tutorial so I can do it. Thanks.

Hey frank. I would rather bring my micra to you and let you have a look at it and fix it for me, because your like the king on here when it comes to fixing micras. I only live in stoke on trent so it will only cost me a tenner in fuel. Ryan.

Hey frank i've been told by many your the guy any one with a micra needs, (you helped me with my timing) its all done now thankyou, But now my clutch is giving up, i don't think its been rite for a while i wound it out and it lasted a little longer, im very heavy footed to be fair, is there any decent cheapish clutches that are better then the standard?? cheers.

can i ask where you got your arc welder from frank im looking into getting a welder and looks like an arc is going to be my cheapest option i will then neeed to tech myself to use one lol

is this expensive frank and could i ask for your opinion on which local micra specialist to take it to were based in Wolverhampton

question time lol when you fitted the 1.3 crank and rods to the 1.0l block which engine did you use the main crank shells from?

have you stripped a t15 before frank? i have one and the bearing feel like its started to sieze

Replacing my maf meter what size are the torx bits?

i hear 1.3 piston in the 1.ol is less compression how true is this?

thers still one support bracket and tin plate is still there

yes the 4 x 14mm ones mate, the 2 support brackets would be needed if rallying i guess, and the tin cover would be needed on dirt roads prob

The 4 bell housing bolts? And i see why you removed the tin plate from behind the flywheel made it take longer than needed when doing my clutch

mine were binned belly, as long as the 4 big bolts are secure

just remembered i was meant to ask,
The bars that fasten to the bottom of the block and to the bottom of the box, are these important as ive stripped the hole in the block on the one closest to the rear of the engine bay

Well i put the sump on last month and dont seem to have gad any problems since so al drive

if its not drinking oil, i would just drive it personally

so to totally make it the best a full strip and rebuild?

mine were fine once cleaned, you might find the oil control rings totally gummed tho

yeah i did have completley clean it ill probs do it when i remove the head to do the gasket, since i put it in its been filled with a flush and at least 2 or 3 changes in the last 4 thou mile so cleaner you reckon? oh and new sump so no sludge kicking around in there

did you have to dig the black sludge out of the headbolts lol i,ve had ones like that too (like you say, its prolly a lack of oilchanges)

when i removed my rocker cover on the current 1.4 to paint it i notice a black carbon looking deposits around the head so scraped most of it out, is this due to lack of service and maintenance such as oil change or do i have a problem was end tha breather pipes attatch

Nah chris, work/the track is pretty mental atm (loads of groupon arrive,n,drive people)

you fired up yet frank?

Ok cheers ill have a play about today

you will probably need about 6 turns mate

ive tried letting a little tension off the cable like loosening the nut but only by about 1 turn maybe turn n half could it need more?

Have you tried adjusting the thumbnut on the cable ?

changed clutch today with help from solarice, now its changed the biting point is at the bottom, but there is loads of play in the pedAL before it starts to operate the clutch at the bottom of the pedal any idea on what this is?

i just saw huge turbo and thought "frank " lol

Its bigger than mine eh the td05 compressor is 50 id and 55 od inlet, and 42 id, 50 od on the outlet

saw the listing on ebay and istantly thought of you and your mods :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Huge-Turbo-/140848937615?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20cb403a8f#ht_993wt_1271

no bother pay day wednesday i shall let you know

12 quid posted mate

alright frank how much do you charge for your offset panhard rod bush as i should really do something to correct the movement lol?

hahaha Frank, i'm kind of a noob to this and really want to learn, it would be great talking to you about any mods i can do to increase hp and power, i want to keep it N/A, let me ring you pleasee haha, (i sound like a little kid in a candy shop please mummy can i buy those sweets)

the wee lepricorn,s fitted mine while i was fast asleep one night asif its just the time factor tbh (or lack of it)

ohh how did you fit yours then? and i'm assuming you can't fit high compression pistons either? if i'm correct cg10 pistons work well in a cg13, also can i ring you to discuss further or you ring me on 07805934828 please, Cheers mate
