Harsh and rattly is not a description that you hear often when it comes to K11's. When you consider that most of them are still on their original suspension then I would suggest that yours has some issues. Assuming that it's all original and not f**ked over by a previous owner then start...

Hi, sorry for the delay somebody made the sun shine ?. I have the rear seats but they are grey/blue and I'm in Liverpool. Good lock with your search ?

Is colour an issue and whereabouts are you?

Must admit that if I had to make a criticism of the original manufacturing standard of my K11 that it would be lack of paint. At first I thought that it was poorly repaired prior accident damage but then realised the little bugger had never been painted properly in the first place!

your hard work and belief has been vindicated, onwards and upwards!

If you can send it parcel post I'll have two (y):)

Top man! Weren't you tempted to have the whole cylinder head from your vendor, just in case? :unsure:

Lots of good work accomplished(y) The seemingly homeless connector may be for equipment that was never fitted to your spec of car, this is very common on cars that are sold in various trim/equipment levels in multiple markets. Where distributors are driven off the end of the camshaft the dogs...

Methodical does it every time, step by step by step. This way you aren't struggling with "what did I forget?" syndrome. Been there, done that, many many times ;)

You're thinking too much ;) the ECU ain't that clever, it just goes with the inputs presented to it.

First of all hello and welcome, I'm 67 so I think I'm winning the old fart contest. I'm actually old enough to have bought a brand new K10 in 1987. This is a seriously nice K11, I would be more than pleased to own it. I would certainly better the dealer's derisory joke offer!

It has crossed my mind to acquire another one and I already own five cars :unsure:

Go for it, **** or bust! You will succeed for many thousands of miles, by the time it fails again you probably won't own/drive it anymore ;)(y)

The brake components are so cheap and readily available I wouldn't hesitate to change the lot. Whilst you're at it consider braided flexi hoses, it'll sharpen up your pedal feel.

Hang on whilst I get the plasma cutter set up, I'll make you one ;)

No it shouldn't, a trip back to the Auto Services Centre for rectification.

Apologies, my fault for piggy backing on your thread. I'm not preparing a car for competition my Micra is just a personal project. The reason for the LPG is that is what I do, we sell very large quantities of propane and consequently I get free gas. Imagine never paying for fuel again :)(y)

Maximum advisable skim off the head? I'll be running LPG so the higher the compression the better. LPG has an octane rating above 110 and 12:1 CR is do-able.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread but I'm also interested in wringing every last drop of power from a CG10, where do I find a GA15 throttle body?

From this distance, to my eye, the head looks questionable. If the machine shop says fine I assume it's fine. I don't know what the maximum skim/minimum head thickness is for the CG engine but I assume you're there already.
