Not sure what gear kits are available without spending stupid money. Some of the 1000cc gearboxes have a 4:4 CWP which helps a little bit I found but then there's is the 5:1 CWP as well but your looking at quite a bit of money really for a brand new one. An ATB slip differential would also...

Where abouts are you based? Simple advice would be take the car out standard to begin with would be my advice. I've rallied a standard one before and I've finished 8th and 5th O/a on events and won the best U/1400 award hands down. Was even 2nd O/a on one event untill I ran out of talent...

I have for sale a facelift K11 Micra shell. Shell has been completely stripped down to a bare shell and has been sand blasted and etch primed underneath, inside floor and boot and under the bonnet area. Will come with: Brand new Safety Devices rollcage with double digonal,harness bars...

Just wondering if you made the rollover spit urself or did you buy one? Rob

As bad as it looks the cage did a very good job really becuase an 80mph impact into a tree stump is going to some major damage to anycar. Obviously is pretty hard to strengthen the sill but the rollcage was a Safety Devices bolt in cage with a welded in double diagonal door bars but as said, it...

Ye....she is one seriously lucky girl fair play but it was a massive accident but the car is really way beyond repair. I don't think much is salvagable and even if they are they will be proably put on a new shell for the new car I think.

I was out co-driving on the Woodpecker stages yesterday in a Micra 1275 with Becky Kirvan. Unfortunatly on the 4th stages we had a HUGE accident. Somehow though we are both ok. Both battered and bruised.Becky has a fair bit of bruising and swelling on her legs and kness and I somehow...

So it's clearly quite a big job then by the sound of things with custom made mounts the lot and obviously very little room under the bonnet. What's the RS5F30 gearbox out of Frank?

Hi guys, Just wondering how difficult this engine change is to do. Obviously you'd need the full wiring loom,ECU, driveshafts, gearbox and possibly hubs. Now the main thing is the engine mounts. Would these be the same as the GA16 engine and therefor you would either need to cut the...

So you just cover that little hole up or join the big slit with the little slit and you lift the rev limiter??? That's it?? SWEEEET!!! Thanks for the pic Frank!!

Anychance someone could pop a picture of this up please?? Might have a crack at it myself as well :grinning:

Only thing I can help you with is the oil switch. That's located underneath the inlet manifold at the back just behind a bracket for the inlet manifold to the engine. Man in the know would be Franks though.Seriously knows his stuff!!!

You don't know how happy I was when it was working. Only problem is I now have to take the bloody gearbox out again now. Picked the best clutch out of the 2 that I had and the little #### is slipping :( So gearbox out again!!! ARGH!!! Lucky I've got a paddle clutch and pressure plate sitting on...

I don't understand it either....It's really wierd but it used to work. However, I pulled the gearbox out again 2day and put the 1.0litre flywheel and clutch on the car and she's grand.Started first time as well so beauty.Job done!! :grinning: Wierd though as you say about the block side...

Omg...Ha ha.....But if I take the flywheel and clutch off the S reg 1.0 litre engine I have sitting it shold fit and work? Would I need to change the coilpack at all? Can see me just sticking the old gerabox back in before long...Ha.Although....that 1.0 litre gearbox makes a hefty...

Hi Frank, Thanks for all the help and the pictures and everything. Been a great help. Thanks very much. Turns out for some reason I have the flywheel with the twin starter ring and the small starter motor that bolts on under the mani so that's why the 1.0 starter won't engage. So...

Not sure what you mean about a starter aperature either side. Do you mean the starter motor could bolt on either side or no? 100% sure it's not a CGA engine because I have had the engine out before and the flywheel only had one starter ring although it does look way too big and heavy. But the...

Ah rite.Could this be the problem then as to why it's not working? I know the engines have the stamp on the front of the block by the gearbox so would it say CGA 13 instead CG13 or no?CGA is the 1348cc isn't it? Should the gearbox still fit and work then or is it a case of putting the old...

Well that's what I thought and why I never bothered changing the flywheel or anything else for that matter but was gutted when it didn't start and just thought the starter was sticking but it clearly isn't. The starter motor was bolted on in the inside of the engine underneath the intake...

Thanks for the reply Frank. The 1.0 litre gearbox is out of an S reg Micra and the rally car is a K reg so should it be ok? Do I need to change the gear linkages as well because I've sat in the car and all the gears appear to be there. Obviously need to have it moving first to drive it...lol
