Went to glens and we got his radiator fitted and top pipe hooked up, this 'flexy' pipe was no use so he had to buy another 32-28 reducing elbow and a 28mm elbow heres how it looks, such a tight fit!
We also got his bonnet pins cut out
Also heres how to get them symetrical, cut an a4 piece of paper to shape of bonnet and cut out hole for pin
Flip it over and mark onto bonnet and cut out

Solid mounted on the crossmember, 2x13mm holes and the pins that stick out just slot in as they're tapered, slam panel to be fitted and that'll hold it down

Right got the drivers seat and harness all done and got the radiator all plumbed in so i took a short video but the sound is weird as it sounds like the engine is knocking but it isnt.

sounds like exhaust is blowing, probably from downpipe/manifold. Same thing happened to me in my old car coming off motorway, sounded like a bag of spanners, Thought I'd killed it!

Was over at glen's again briefly to try an sort his map out (from gtir-gti) as hes hoping to mot the car within a month. Was just a case of picking an sr20 map from the nistune rom pack (theres loads!) and loading it onto the ecu. At first the car was very lumpy etc so a quick resize of the injectors from 370-259 and it now starts and idles perfectly, took a couple of pics whilst there

Well got the car on the ramp and had a good look at the car and only found a few of the issues i cant seem to find the issues with the rear suspension mouning points excessivly corroded.
So here is the rear panhard rod mounting bracket issue.
After poking about
Found a hole in the passangers side rear sill
I wonder if the chassi rails might have been the suspension mounting problems
One side
Other side
And found a few holes in the exhaust so need to weld them up
So if i sort the holes in the exhaust then the emissions should be fine
And welding up the rusty bits isnt that difficult either so should be on the road soon

That's good! Mines 135 a year on a 1l one lol. Mind you it'd change if I had them check it by emissions

Why what you running? My turbo passed emissions

Its down to your tax band I believe
I meant it'd go down, I doubt a 1l micra produces enough emissions to warrant 135 quid a year...
