just got to mesh and level them out properly then il like them more, me and dexcter went over everything to find out the noise but it's came down to the wishbone as everything else is fine, can pry the wishbone plates to seperate so fingers crossed that's my Problem, ordered new wishbone and fuel filter as my mpg is shocking!!!

That affect my mpg? Not sure might stil be factory one no history of replacement
Had a bit of a play with the exhaust today, was gonna fit a straight through back box to see the effect, but it wouldnt fit as the back box and pipe over the axle are one piece on micra and the spare my mate had wasnt... SO thought for fun to open the pipe just before the centre section silencer/cat bit and play with it there... Aaaand all the bolts are so rusty and grubby theyre seized and it just pulls the pipe to one side trying to undo them... Well then.. no noisy backbox fun for me then..
Refitted his Honda 500 with another straight thru instead and deafened the neighbours with that :laugh:

Lowered finally
Yep....finally lol. It's taken about a month from start to finish but I do like the results
Shall be fitting one of Noddies magic adjustable panhard rods tomorrow.....woohoo!!
Then it's time to start messin with the engine

ha ha just realised you meant yours, not mine lol
Just seen your other post..... Looking good eh
wiper arms back to black
I think I got the micra bug all over again.
Got this bad it for her
Do I need wide band to set this up properly?

Im guessing you can adjust the signal that your ecu sees from the maf (possibly at different air flow rates?) rather than just adding on 10% over the whole range like those resistor types do..
Yes, ''''IMO'''' you will need a wideband to set it up properly. althought someone might have other ideas/ways of doing it without...

Fitted rear Corsa b shocks to the rear and chopped the springs. Also had 2x 175/60/R13 tyres fitted to the rear.
wehey could you post a pic of your micra from the rear i.e. showing the stance of it with those tyres? Just wondered how wide they look as i used to have 175/60 on me old sr alloys and forgot how they looked. :blush:
yes mate,back on the beat,,,,,,,dont know how you lose the feeling with the edition k11 you have
black'd suit
lets hear it "vid up"

All you need is some exciting take offs from traffic lights for that! Burn the rubber off haha
I can tell you though, if you had wider wheels a set of 185/55 would look ace
i have them on mine with 14" rims

It would help to have a wideband fitted, but so long as you're only adding fuel tweaking blind shouldn't cause to many hassles. Its easy enough to set the swtich back to zero at any point.
As you probably know the ecu will fight you at certain points anyway, so you ideally need to tweak that issue while you're at it.
(franks method probably being the easiest).Is that the speed sensor issue you are referring to solaris?It would help to have a wideband fitted, but so long as you're only adding fuel tweaking blind shouldn't cause to many hassles. Its easy enough to set the swtich back to zero at any point.

No i was referring to the lambda signal with the ecu learning and making adjustments (bypassed with the cold start trick iirc)...but the speed sensor may need doing aswell (as this affects the 4th/5th gear lean out).
Double check against franks findings though as hes tweaked so many things, i can't keep up. haha.

nor me kris :grinning:
and i get by with my narrowband sensor, but you need to adjust the fuel pressure up and down to quantify the readings you get tho, because they,re very limited in scale eh.
they seem to last longer than wideband sensors tho fwn
thx, I just want it to run okish after the mods I plan and be able to alter it. do you guys think narrow band would do the trick?

whats is the cold start trick? seem like im going to do something i got no clue about

when i disconnected the coolant sensor on the 3rd run on the dyno a while back george (arrowed)
instead of trying to closed loop, and veering towards a very lean 17:1 a/f/r (the upper 2 runs) it locked into coldstart enrichment mode (about 13:1 a/f/r)
you just have to adjust your piggyback settings so that your mixture is optimised at the different rpms, and if a 30% increase is not enough you will need bigger injectors and reduce their flow where necesary
