Bit of an update, here's my curborough race track video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gyRCGEKZ9g Luke.

Nahh, it's still the same, and yes, when I come back from Italy, I keep thinking SR20 or a Turbo, probably SR20 though, more reliable power! Luke.

Things I've had to do since I've owned it. Sill welding Engine mount, gearbox mount Alternator belt Discs and pads. Tyres, lol, they hardly count. Not really problems, but wear and tear. That is IT. Luke.

As some of you may know, I bought Marts old Super S, and I went to Curborough sprint track yesterday. As my brother is a well reputed member of the Fiat Coupe Club, he invited me along, and the micra did brilliant. Thought I'd share a couple photos of how he stands! Anyone been to...

You can source the whole setup for K11s from the Super S and SR models, I'm pretty sure they're the only ones that have rear discs. This would be from M reg to R I think? Best bet is to get the hubs, discs, calipers and lines. You will need a different handbrake cable as well I think? Don't...

Mart, can you inbox me your number? Cheers!

Yo Mart, check your pmz!

Where are these plugs sweetness? At the back of the cluster? Luke.

I'm 99% sure that it's not the bulbs, at one point, I swapped the bulbs around, and they all seemed to work! The brake lights were changed before MOT, and the fault was occuring prior to that! I guess I should check the cabling at the back, but I still think it could be bad earth :\ Luke.

I should really specify, it's solely the speedo etc back lights. Where is the earth located? I'm no good with electronics, so if I traced it back how would I solve the problem? Would I need to disconnect the battery? Is there a generic placement where the earth would be? And whats the best...

Ok, so a friend asked me to rev my car, I did, and now my dash lights are flickering? This happened a while ago, and I've managed to put up with it untill now, where the hell do I chase the wires to!? I can't seem to see any signs of splitting or general ####eness in the wiring! Luke.

I feel so bad, I just spent the last 30 minutes reading this. Thinking, wow, this guy used to own the Micra I STILL have and love now, it's looking similar to mine, and he's about to do what I've always wanted to do to mine, turbo it. Then boom, the story ends, I am GUTTED albeit a great...

No that's a GREAT move! :) Good luck. Luke.

Also because they're commercial they don't expect you to use them for much personal use, such as rolling it through a hedge at 50 when you're wiv da boyz. Luke.

I really wouldn't buy the seicento, I had a sei, and a cinquecento. They both blew up! Head gasket failure is a common problem! Unless you consistently stay at 2k rpm! And 70mph on the motorway. They may say sporting, but by god are they not! My insurance for the say was £1200 Luke.

Holy shizzle on the 1.0 baguete hahaha! :D That's legend, and stani, you cheated, you can hear turbo flutter, and you know we all love that! Luke.

Actually my first car was a seicento sporting, second was a cinquecento sporting! Awesome little cars, the guys on the fiat forum are a bit nuts with theirs though haha. There are plenty of turbo cinqs and sei's about guys haha! :D Luke.

Course I am! I've been advised by Matt Humphris to do so. The guy seriously knows what he's talking about! It's a lot of help, thankfully! I would've got it turboed, but at the moment, this student is just too poor! If I saved up, then it wouldn't be a problem! Luke.

Sorry, I'll get some photos of the spax! It's just the dampers, but the car's lowered 50mm anyway, Matt is the one who recommended and supplied them! Awesome pieces of kit! The guys at the garage had to cut off the old ABS brackets and weld them onto the new dampers, they sprayed them...

Bad times guys, I rolled the micra down a ditch in the snow. NAWT. Really, I'm posting up coz I've fitted new spax competition dampers to the car, and wanna spread how amazing the car feels now! If anyone has an opportunity to buy dampers, spend the bit extra instead of getting bilsteins...
