pretty much what it says on the tin.ive got a set of grooved and drilled discs which are a direct replacement for the solid discs.are there calipers from any other cars which will fit straight onto the original hubs or original caliper brackets that will up the brake performance over the...

hey folks,been a while.... as the title says,im building a 1.3 engine to drop into my boys' 1.0 k11.im carrying out a few mods on it,but im calling on you guys out there to give me a few pointers.stuff you might know that ive overlooked,or didnt think of.so i'll fill you in on what im doing,an...

now the k11,known on here as 'project fatherandson' is on the road i figured i would create a thread detailing how it was all done(from thought to planning,design,fabricating,and fitting) in case anyone has similar plans,ideas etc they can ask and maybe i can help with it.if not.well at least...

well,pretty much as the title says.looking for some input into this.im led to believe the 1.3 has dished pistons as standard which means its ripe to strap a turbo onto.but,unless im mistaken this would mean the 1.3 without a turbo would be a low compression engine,and thus would be down on power...

seen a few posts regarding this,but i cant find anything explaining it further.can anyone explain whats to be soldered and the symptoms that require this?thanks folks

ive posted a thread previously about building a 1.0 engine with a bit more balls than the standard.this is on the basis that 1.0 engines are ten a penny and i could pick up a high-miler for practically nothing and engineer it at my leisure.but eventually i will find a 1.3 k11 that has failed its...

me and the boy are planning on building a 1.0 over course of a few months.with a view to installing it next spring. so im gonna lighten the conrods and crank.skim the head,possibly(if theres room)fit bigger inlet valves,doubled valve springs,gas flow the head. so,for the guys here(frank i...

next year when my sons(hopefully) got a years ncb under his belt he'll be thinking of upgrading,but due to the work thats went into his car he doesnt want to change car,cos he loves the wee micra,and it has been a long project.so he'll be wanting more power.personally i think the little 1.0 16v...

anyone know what model and year of k11 was fitted with a 3 spoke steering wheel?and if said wheel was fitted with an airbag?

anyone here clued up with airbag wiring.im fitting a steering wheel that started life in an MG ZR.the airbag on this steering wheel has only 1 wire.the airbag on the micra has 2. normal logic tells me the micra has a positive and negative wire,and the MG has just a positive and it would just be...

couldnt find anything in the lowering guide. if a k11 has been slammed about 45mm will the rear wheels lock up if the compensator isnt adjusted?i wanna know before the car goes on the road next week.anyone got any idea?

the kid scored a clockpod with rev counter.ive not collected it to fit yet. what i wanna know is if theres connectors already in place on the standard car,or am i in for some surgery?and if so does anyone know what i have to tap into etc?

not long before my kid got his k11 the previous owner had the rear axle replaced,as it rotted and collapsed on the nearside.and the car i sourced some goodies from a few weeks ago had died from same thing.ive had a scout around the forum to see if anyone else has had this issue,as im gonna weld...

just finished hand-painting this bonnet for my boys' k11.gotta leave it a cpl of days before i can lacquer it.hope you guys like it.and i hope he doesnt see it on here before he sees it in the flesh.

its been a while since my son posted on his thread'project father and son' well,hes lost his log-in details so ive created a profile to bring it back to life. had a few things going on which put the little k11 on the back burner but thankfully its nearly finished and pics will be following...
