This just makes it sound better, or at least it tries to hide the "ford fiesta" sound a bit :P Other than that, it's completely useless but keeps you busy for some time and you can spend some quality time with your beloved car :love: But looks good man, better than mine :D

Well.. it might come as a shock, but as far as I've gathered they're not that good with english in France :D I don't see a lot of French people on english boards in general.

I know from the racetrack they barely use a clutch too. But then again those gearboxes are most likely to be designed to work that way, a micra gearbox is not.

Wooohoo! Love this stuff :D Just hope it's true about her and the boss, otherwise it's kinda nasty :P

lol, that rap was cool. But that show was really... really... well... no idea how to put it :D Almost as if it was made for (or by?) people with mental disorder. fwn

Can't you just measure it from your car? I mean, measure it from the outside and suppose it's a few mm thick, then you have a good idea what you need to make.

That all depends on how well you are with A. photoshop and B. scissors :D When using a good quality printer, with good quality paper and using the correct dpi/resolution results can be awesome. But I have to admit, I've seen an example or two (even here on the forums) of dials that indeed look...

but but but but... it has a huge panoramic sunroof* :D You know what that means, it's extra hot in the summer! *Standard on Roomster 3, optional on Roomster 1 and 2

Well, almost the same as 2006 lol (only this year hopefully some more time). Making a custom inlet manifold + bike carbs Making a custom exhaust manifold Get some lowering springs (and fit them :D ) Last year was disaster, also for micra modding, on this side. So hopefully better...

Hmm, I'll be having a good look then next time I'm removing the inlet manifold. It seems like I have a 31b and 18b here. I'll be doing some manifold+carb work soon so I can see if no one already peeked at it. Should be interesting enough to check out at least! :)

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing with the gaskets. If the ports would be bigger, bigger gaskets specially for those engines should be available. But they don't. Interesting info bob about those different heads. If the 31b is the one with higher compression, wouldn't you see a small gain...

Old school method of fixing that (the last one, other problem needs new pins etc) would be to put a towel or something at the front bottom of the door and then bend it just a little bit. (towel there so it doesn't close). Or, do the window all the way down and then bend the top a little bit...

They might last longer if you have some bubbles and/or a plant in there :) (or did I miss that in the screen?). Anyway, clever fishy :D

Where should one see if there are larger ports? If it's at the exhaust or inlet it makes no difference because there is only one set of gaskets available afaik (usuable for both ma10 and ma12, if we are talking about those inlet/outlet ports that is :D ). Also I'm using a MA12 from an ECC one...

Hmm.. well I don't think it will go down that much would it? Although it can't hurt to check the cambelt and do the tensioner thing I guess :D
