    Whiteline adjustable panhard rod

    I know this is dragging up an old thread but I was just researching 50mm drops... much earlier this year I fitted 30mm apex springs and a whiteline panhard rod from rallynuts; my panhard is adjusted right up full and it only just fits with a 30mm drop, so I must have one of these knacker rods...

    Used my OBDII scanner today and came up with no codes, so that was a relief, fitted Bosch fr8dcx plugs (the 1 day old NGKs were already sooted up) and it's idling a treat. Not really had chance to take it for a proper drive around yet. Also, the slight chain rattle I had on warm up has...

    Great article about Micra and Sunderland: rare 1992 K11 footage inside. RIP Micra U.K

    the long square box that is the R33 will always be my favourite car (after micras obv :p) I don't get why everything is getting bigger and samier, surely in a competitive market you'd want to be different, but even the new micra looks like the new fiesta.. bleurgh..

    http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/11571-Bosch-Micra-throttle-body just spotted in this thread that NGK B5re11 spark plugs are wrong for coilpacks and wear out too quickly! My local garage supply me these, as did eurocarparts (even based on my reg) i checked the bible that is haynes and they...

    cone filter relocating

    Allll mackled together! Sounds much better and is getting nice cool air, although I still plan to move the feed somehow to behind the plastic grille thing where a fog light would go... for extra rammage!

    thanks for the link! im sure mine is the obd2, it's 16 pin iirc. Seems a lot of people have this sort of issue, it's knowing whether it's a sensor on it's way out, the TB or MAF. Feel like i've been taunting fate tho running that k&n bolt on for as long as i did! Will have to try disconnecting...

    It's been exactly 6 months since my last service so today I changed the fuel filter, relocated my 57i, changed the plugs and I'm just waiting on some new crush washers before whacking in some Castrol GTX and giving it a new oil filter She's been running pretty rough lately, using up more...

    cone filter relocating

    right, got both time and money now so ready to attack this. Not sure about the reducing though, surely that's wasteful when the TB is 70mm and the cone is therefore 70mm? Keep it all 70mm for increased airflow? Purchasing a 90deg 70 to 70, then some 45deg ally then whack cone on end... Sound a...

What a pollava. Advice to anyone looking for tyres, ring...

    tyre choice?

    blackcircles did the same, can't get uniroyals anywhere as they aren't making them any more in this size. Thinking either Goodyear Duragrip or Toyo 350s... so many conflicting reviews on tyres!
