I'll get in contact with Matt then thanks.

Hi guys, Just a quick question: Does anyone know where I can purchase new pistons? Preferably for the 1.0 cg10de to put them in our 1.3 block. I think we blew a piston ring or two rallying and two cylinders are low on compression. Every 100km the car travels it drinks 1L or so of oil. So we are...

When you say "matching intake manifold and TB do you mean matched by porting? I'm on the same lines of thought as what you are saying. We are about to order the janspeed manifold and have a groupN exhaust ready to be fitted. Surely if you throw more agressive cams in you are going to need some...

Once the head was off we could inspect it and the cylinders/pistons thoroughly. It looks like the pistons have been moving slightly horizontally in the cylinders so we thought it best to send the block off the machine shop along with the head. On the exterior side of things, the car is ready...

Great work polly, brilliant fabrication work. I'm going to try the drill bit sharpening jig as we've got loads of blunt bits lying around. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk

Holy smokes Batman I didn't think it would up c/r that much! Do you find the car runs any hotter than usual? I'd have to pick up silkolene proboost or the likes from the UK as I can't find it in Spain. Demon tweeks do a multi-buy i think. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk

That's what I was thinking, I need to replace piston rings aswell as I think she's burning oil. I might be lucky enough for a breaker to sell me just the pistons, and not have to buy a complete engine. What sort of increase in compression does this give you? Anything to worry about reliability...

Thanks for the input, as you say the ecu remap seems to be a must. From what i have read any small mods throw the original map out of the window. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, we plan on fitting a janspeed manifold, improved air intake and a groupN exhaust to our 1.3 desert rally Micra. At the moment I've got the engine stripped for a clean and a rebuild. Is there any bits and things I can do while I'm here to aid performance without going into...

Now the parts i have been waiting on have arrived, I've started to strip the engine and start the rebuild. Apart from having 20 odd years of gunk in it and corroded coolant pipes, its not too bad. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk

Over this weekend the engine and gearbox were removed, engine bay prepared for cleaning and given a jet wash. I started to sand blast some parts to prepare for paint. Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk

Rear brakes are now completely reconditioned. Front brake caliper repair kit should be turning up tomorrow. Today we painted the floorpan/interior to give it a cleaner look. Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk

I second SuperUno's advice, once you get heel and toe down, it's just a matter of practice and it comes naturally, even for daily driving. Congratutlations on doing well straight from the get go with Autosolo, it sounds like a blast!

Pics of some of the bits we have already sourced: I need some advice on suspension if anyone can lend a hand. The problem we have is that we don't know what to go with. I can pick up standard shocks brand new cheap and we can take a couple of spares with us should we need to replace them...

Quick update! Some of the parts should be here by the end of this week. We've agreed to sign a massive sponsor to the team so we are chuffed about that. It means that the K11 can be propery set up without having to rub pennies together. We were interviewed by Murcia's main newspaper La Verdad...

Ok guys, so it has been a while since we last updated this build. It is safe to say that things have finally kicked off! On the administration and sponsorship side of things we have been able to get a few sponsors up until now to help us out with costs. Two local companies have jumped on the...

The units (multimeters...etc) I use in uni look near identical. Straight out of the stone age! The car is looking good!
