i had help for a little while, but we didn't get it fixed in that time. Most of the time i was doing it solo.

checked all vacuum lines? and crankcase ventilation too? catalystic converter ok? any exhaust leaks? jumping a tooth is a rally hard task. The chain must be really slack or oil pressure VERY low. But i'm no proffesional on that.

"Mahle" is what i prefer. Ain't more expensive than other brands here in Germany.

possible but chances aren't high. except fo that, K&Ns aren't worht the trouble. Just get a proper regular air filter. don't take the cheapest.

Been long. there happend quite a few ting in the meantime: Exhaust cam is now the original one from 1.0. now: 1.3 IN and 1.0 EX Idle is much better now. before swapping back, i did a few test runs and with 1.3 IN & 1.3 EX (and the 4-2-1 header) it felt like Peaq torque was at 5.5k rpm and...

Yes. i did fool myself. -.- It took me 2 days. trying to put it back on was a pain in the rear. I didn't loose the engine mount in the middle and in the end it must have prevented the gearbox from being able to put straight back on. (engine was twisted a little bit) figuring it out wasn't easy. ?

of cours i don't expect it to be as easy as a wheelchange :D but less complicated than a timing chain swap. i've seen some pictures from frank, where the CV-Axle seem to be still on, that's what got me thinking it could be realy easy.

quick question about the clutch swap, as i intend to give it a try. (thats what happens if people write it's ez ? ) So even the the CV-Axle can stay screwed on? no need to take of the wheels? That would save a lot of time, and really make it easy. Sure I will have to crawl under the car for a...

in CG-Engines thou shall trust!

i know it's been a long time, but is it still available?

should have tried small lightweight steelies on the micra... makes a big difference in acceleration, although motorway is always a problem for the short but tall formfactor and small engine. And getting it low and hard obviously doesn't help with the comfort. I'm totally satisfied with motorway...

:eek: Didn't that hurt? i couldn't... Couldn't you get the tubing to the driver side front grille? Could have gotten a little bit of a ram air effect as well.

That's excactly what i would like to know. How good can the CG10 get. It always is in the shadow of its bigger brother. I'm sure it's safer to rev high. Some ECU tuning and slight Supercharging might make it a really fun machine. I mean, the situation is that cg10 got wasted everywhere, because...

Wow. What an effort. Gotta be really thankful for Threads like this ? The engine mount is genius, although i don't know how well it is for MOT. And the idea with an electric water pump ist really good. Wouldn't it even make sense to switch to an electric waterpump on a stock CG1xDE? It would...

actually the stuff is cheap (very fairly prized) considering they are "handmade" Ordering outside the UK and paying taxes on top is what makes them really expensive. besides: be careful working outside. Any dirt getting in your Engine can cause lots of damage. And it's really hard to see a...

I guess N/A 100PS will mainly be possible with higher RPM's Though i like the idea and was intending to go that road, too (but with the 1.0) i skipped it for now. Reasons is, you barely can get to the high revrange on the street, even with the shorter gears of the 1.0 (2nd gear would be at...

just hold the electric meter to the battery contacts. in PARALLEL! Not Series. do NOT disconnect plugs form alternator.

or just try driving with your starter ? Sure an electric K11 would be interesting. But i'd rather be interested in bolt on hybrid technology. Maybe one of those Starter/Atlernator combos And an electirc Supercharger/Turbo... using recuperation and so on.

measure the voltage while engine is running to check if the alternator is ok. Engine on without any other electrics should be ~14V and get lower with every electric device you turn on, but should always stay above 12V

what kind of sound do you hear? Do you have powersteering? If you want to change the Belt it's the safest bet to take the same, as the one you already have.
