the only problem is the steering seems to be very heavy for a car this size anyone have any idear why

it could be as simple as having under inflated front tyres, or a worn rack. Welcome to the club by the way, and dont worry about the spelling, some are very bad and they haven't got any problems.

thanks all for the nice welcome at the moment i diddnt know what a K10 is but i ashume as its where you have moved me its what i have someone may have to explain this K buisness to me oh the wheels are standard steelies and tire preshure is spot on so i supose i should take a look at the steering rack then see if that is knackered at least now i know i have a k10 i can have a better look around at what upgrades there are for it

Lol @ the driving School bit

 

[paul_k10_Lx]

[paul_k10_Lx]

[Pete]

well they were

So were K10's, isn't that how Ed got into micras?

and K12's are used alot too, my Girlfriends brother just passed in one.

 

[Arnold]

Yep thats right MA12, and i've seen numerous K12 learning cars too

 

[Pete]

It's more of a case of what you remember, I remember alot of early mk3 fizz's as learner cars.

When I eventually learnt the K11 was getting a bit long in the tooth so people had started to move to new punto's etc...

[Arnold]

I got to learn in a new mini

So did i mate! Pretty fun to drive, couple of faults though! the brake pedal fell off once too!! not great in a learner car

Street racing is not to be discussed here my friend! Just a caution
