I smell a race in the air ;) I haven't tested the time trial features, but with my dicky speedometer sticking at 95 in one trip, the speed readout was handy. What wheel/tyre size are you on to get the accurate GPS/speedo speed? 185/65/14 on mine.

Yep this is a standard one. Without the rear muffler the car sounds like it has a sport muffler. The rusted one on there was a resonator rusted Monday through Sunday not doing anything, it was liveable if you wanted to be slow but sound loud and broadcast "####er approaching" to the good town folk.

Noise is like a standard quiet car, but with a muted rumble that isn't usual. The muffler is alloy construction, baffle and reversion type without packing, so should last the life of the car. By comparison it comes off a 1.3L bike engine that uses two of these mufflers as the only silencing in...

My new to me Micra sat for a few months after purchase, put on the road over Christmas holidays. http://s412.photobucket.com/albums/pp205/DeepFraught/Micra/ Now that muffler has been replaced and its quiet, remaining to-do items: - alternator/aircon drivebelt replacement (in progress) - dark...

I think the answer is yes. The front swaybar (no upper/lower, as it is lower only) bolted to body in middle, to control arms at ends, and do that with a bush. A strut brace (no upper/lower, as it is upper only) would connect the top mounts of the struts/uprights/shock absorbers. Have...

wheel shop to buy new nut tool, or if u have standard nuts, ask to borrow it in carpark

Jowley what bike carbs did you start with? A local motorcycle racer's g/f has a standard '90s Swift, he rebuilt the engine, and is looking at 4cyl bike carbs. I saw this on YouTube last night, Micra with FCR bike carbs. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=qxLZ3mzu7L8

Jowley what kind of mechanic are you if you're not spending 1500quid (should be less being in the trade) on quad throttles and custom ECU mapping? I question the fibre of your fabric... ;) PS: what about the basic powerup and some suspension to use what you got, or already done that?

Thanks, when I used to work in a newsagent several years ago the custom Minis magazine 3months behind UK issue was always exciting to see how popular they were and differently people were modifying them. All my cars have been white (sensible for the heat here) bar one gun-grey EP82 so this red...

I recently got a red '96 (built October '95) K11 LX. I've always loved (but never owned, except R/C) the red Rover Mini Cooper S, so I'll be looking for others who have done the white roof and bonnet stripes to pay homeage :) And the homeage: I used to have an EP82 Starlet GT Turbo, I...
