Having a bit of trouble with the Super S. I'm only getting around 220miles to a tank, which when worked out is around 32-33 mpg, which IMO seems far too low, especially since a lot of my miles are dual carriageway at 60-65mph... Need some idea's as to what it could be, pretty sure its not...

I think you'd find Olly that you have a performance car to use it :). When I needed to save money the only option was for me to sell the Starlet (I know its not a full on performance car but whatever) because I couldn't help myself from driving it full acceleration, cos thats what I bought it...

Olly it sounds like you've spent a lot of time reading the DIY Nitrous site, ran by that Burgerman :).

Your car battery won't last very long since your essentially short circuiting it if you do that...

How good do you reckon these would be normal road use? I'm after a small drop, (if any) but I don't want to be in a car that jars my spine on every road imperfection!

If you've never done driveshafts before don't let them bother you, they were my bugbear when I was doing the clutch on the 106, but very easy in fact. No trouble whatsoever!

Glad to see it moving, having seen this car in the flesh its a clean example apart from the engine, should be awesome when done!

That was essentially why I was wondering what your plans were with that, when I've finished rebuilding my boat and have some cash to chuck about I'm quite interested in looking into this conversion on my own K10. I was actually going to have a look to see how similar the CG13 and the 4-EFTE...

Now you have it on the road again, how much faster (acceleration) wise do you find it compared to the normal MA12? Any plans to get the fuel injection back on??

Just standard coolant should do, the manual says for an MA10 3.9 litres with heater, 3.5 without.

With that much power draw you'll need to increase the engine idle to stop it bogging down I imagine! Edit: Sorry just realised this thread is from a few days back :P

Sounds like somethings been left loose, take it of, inspect and refit!

The bonnet on that K10 look awesome!

Well today has been very expensive. I started having a look at the water pump and quickly realised that since I couldn't find my Haynes manual I needed some help, took it to my local garage (we've been using them for over 20 years so there pretty accommodating, family run garage) and I'm not...

Since the K10's quite an old school car I was going to go for for the old school gauges like the attached photo. I'm good at reinforcing stuff with fibreglass and filling holes (since its what I mainly do on the boat) I've never fabricated anything though, I may look into it, I don't want it...

I guess Arnold means this has all been discussed before, I'm having trouble searching for it though as all the words are very generic so you get millions of results! Thanks for the advice everyone, Arnold, I currently have the back breaking thing, but without the handling to make it worthwhile...

Well its more than little, lol, looks like theres been some gunk or something put on it at one point, or radweld. Not sure, will update tomorrow!

While your right you can't have ultimate handling and ride quality, you can certainly get both a hell of a lot better than the standard setup! I'm definitely not after a track setup, but a fast road because I drive enthusiastically. From what I've seen so far the spax -35mm springs and the...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some 52mm gauge holders, but I'm after some which are recessed and angled. I want to put some gauges into the dash of the K10 above the glovebox area but with a say 30degree angle towards the driver to make them easier to see. I don't want them sticking out the dash...

Well I'll have a look in an hour or so, waiting for a phone call right now. Pretty sure the 'stat is fine now as when I keep it topped up the temperature and heater is fine... Cheers though :)
