    N-cvt

    Has anyone heard about modifying the engine of an n-cvt auto? I have a one litre and would rather not have the hassel of swapping to a manual, I like the car but i want it to be better lol. If it can be cheaply modded to the equivalent of a 1.3 civic all the better :) thanks ben

    Rear exhaust box

    Hi I might be looking for a aftermarket back box and was wondering about the difficulty of fitment, main difficulty as I can see is the last curve before the box, would a new box be a straight swap or would there be some pipe cutting? And also has anyone heard of it on a n-cvt auto? Thanks

    Engine transplant

    Didnt even think about immobilizer etc, thanks for pointing that out. think the general consensus will be to buy a 1.4/ a civic lol. the body work of mine leaves bad thoughts anyway, arches are starting to rust on outside. for a year 2000 its a banger... had to replace entire rear axle as it had...

    Engine transplant

    why would i have to change the head etc if i was planning on doing a straight swap? is it a matter of clearence? or just easier insurance? the plan was for the 1.4 for slightly more bhp then a 1.3 civic. so if i ended up changing the head would that affect the performance much?

    Curious

    Just had a random thought earlier, anyone heard of supercharging/ turboing a ncvt auto? As soon as turbo span up would you have max boost through to max speed? Correct me if I am wrong, just would be funny no gear change etc.

    Engine transplant

    I have a yr 2000 micra that is a 1l n-cvt auto, but I am 18 and it's not cool for me lol. Would you be able to put a 1.4 manual on same mountings? And how difficult would it be to change the log book and difference in price for insurance? I am from uk. It's either this or by a civic lol thanks

    Missing exhaust bracketry

    I have a knocking sound quite regularly, I looked underneath and noticed my exhaust was very low. It's almost touching what I am guessing is the anti roll bar. The rubber mounts are there but the mounts are missing on the exhaust. How would I go about replacing the metal parts?

    Problems heard from front left

    Just been around the car swinging on it and no noticeable movement from things being loose. After spending 200 quid to replace a rear axle that rusted through I am pretty reluctant to spend anymore money on it. If it brakes I will fix it.

    Problems heard from front left

    Not so long ago I heard some noises from the front left, I also got noises when turning. Which have recently been rectified by replacing cv joint. It is still making a sound as if something is slipping. Occasionally when coming to brake I hear a knocking and can only hope it's the same problem...
