    speed limiter in dig-s

    Forgive the thread necromancy, but it's kind of relevant to my own issues at the moment. First question: I don't supposed anyone else has dyno'd a 1.2 NA at all? I'm not really sure how I'd go about doing mine... Anyway, I managed to con dropbox into showing me that image even though it's...

    New owner minor niggle questions

    How curious! I thought it might have actually had a deliberate limit for the CVT version to stop people causing too much carnage by just sitting down, dropping it in D and flooring the accelerator, but sounds like you're able to considerably exceed even the official speed of the DiG-S manual...

    Well, yes, I'm used to the disadvantages of having something on top, it's not something I'd plan to leave in place all the time (my garage door doesn't have enough clearance to allow that, for a start - it's something I'd have to install and remove outside instead). But it's a very convenient...

    (phew...) I know entirely what the limits of a 1.2L city car are (most of them are less capable than this one!), and it's pretty clear this is being artificially capped. Comparitive case in point, a couple years ago I did borrow a previous model Micra, also a petrol 1.2, for a couple of weeks...

    Cool, sounds easy enough. I've had to wire one up before, to a 12v transformer, to run some car accessories off a bare battery, and whilst that was a bit kludgy I'm sure I can make a more aesthetically pleasing attempt. Heck, I actually have a lighter-socket extender/splitter which can probably...

    As for buying something with a more powerful engine ... I've been very limited in what I can buy, having to satisfy hard limits of budget, insurability/taxability and the space in which I have to store it (3.95m length *MAX*), with the desire for a certain level of performance, interior room...

    Hi Ade, thanks for the reply, hope you don't mind me doing the preamble first then attacking the others all in one broken-up go, I'm trying to bang through it quick as I can without getting lost. Nonsense, mate. I'm not sure if you read everything I put there :) First up, the top speed listed...

    New owner minor niggle questions

    Hello! Newb here with a few (edit: what's turned out to be quite a number of) questions about their recent purchase, none of which are likely to be on the standard list... Or should I say, slightly worried new owner as I've just ended up reading about the issues people have had with their K13s...
