Hello, it’s me again. I hope everyone is okay. Micra is still alive and so I am I…She’s been off road for a while now, I took her out for a drive last year December in Peak District during the snow! I wanted to take her to a track day this Summer but work was busy so maybe next year! The Audi...

5 months later and the Micra is being used again as the weather is better. Mostly being used as a daily... the SR20 project is still on hold as I need a reliable and fuel efficient daily and the Micra seems to do just the trick, even with ITB's fitted haha... Original seats are back in as well :)

Another little update: The Micra is being parked up for the winter, so that means the next 6 or so months, while the S6 is being used as a daily. I am going to do an SR20 project on the Micra next; the plan being putting an SR20DE engine in with a huge turbo. The aim is to reach 300-350bhp...

So it’s been nearly 6 months since the last update… I still have the Micra and I still enjoy driving it to this day. Fortunately, for once, the Micra is not causing any issues (for now!). I drive it around 1-2 times a week for the odd countryside B road bashing sesh and it doesn’t disappoint...

Haha its a funny little feature, thank you! Absolutely love your blog mate :)

Time for an update! 1. Rocker Cover + Compression Test - The spark plug seal on cylinder 3 was torn and letting oil into the spark plug well so I got a rocker cover off eBay and replaced my faulty one. I changed the colour up so that the new rocker cover is electric blue rather than the old...

Thank you to everyone for the help, really appreciate it. I've read through the blog with your link Paul, very interesting experiment, thank you for the advice as well :) I'm going to go ahead with it now.

Hi, Just looking for some advice please. I am thinking to raise the bonnet at the back in order to accommodate my long ITB's setup as I currently can't fully shut the bonnet due to the air filter getting in the way, so its being driven (minimally) with the bonnet not clicked in fully. Will...

Bit of a weird question but does anyone know how I can clean up my 4-2-1? It used to look really nice when I first got it, but now it doesn't have the same look or shine at all. It looked nice until my engine swap was carried out and then after, it just never looked the same again. I have tried...

Will give it a read thank you :)

That is all making sense to me, thank you for your advice. I'll be sticking with the steel trumpets but as you say, I guess I don't have much of a choice on keeping the current inlet length. The current inlet length is around 410mm, which according to Jenvey, its pretty much bang on for a car...

Bump can anyone please advise? Thank you.

Hi, I have a question (second question of the day lol), hoping someone can help! :) Basically I've been using the standard rubber trumpets on my GSXR600 throttle bodies on a CGA3. Today, I fitted some 35mm longer stainless DANST trumpets and the car sounds soooo much more aggressive, like a...

Thank you to all of you for your help, it makes sense to me now. Yes the readings were very similar. I tested each cylinder three times and kept getting all readings around the range of 185-195psi. Very glad I asked on this forum, can always count on some some support :) Thanks guys.

DELETED.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can explain how to convert between the compression ratio of an engine to the psi I should get from a compression test. In other words, I know a stock healthy Micra engine is 9.5:1 and produces 180psi per cylinder. I'm getting around 190psi on my high comp 1.4...

No problem mate, if I change my mind, will drop you a message :)

What a read! When I first started reading this, it reminded me so much of when I first started working on my own K11! Keep it up! PS - I agree the japanese newspapers are very cool lol

Time for a little update: The Micra is running pretty nicely now. We had a few issues with it struggling to start while it was below zero degrees but this has now been sorted out. Quite unsure of which mods to do next to be honest! I have bought some Almera alloys for it but having second...

Tried to find it but couldn't, thank you for the reply though. Hopefully someone else can chip in as well as we don't want to buy before we know for certain.
