Been busy this week, I am caging this for another member of our little team. Very early k11 (1992 march with 12'' wheels...lol) with 98,000km from new. Shell is mint, shame to cut it up really!!! Hopefully ready for track in 2 weeks time

Boredom got the better of me tonight so i decided to have a go at making up a replacement for the very poor standard exhaust on my road going k11. Donor manifold is Toyota corolla 1.4 vvti , the port spacings are not too far out. The beauty of this is it still looks pretty standard (once i tidy...

My car owes me 500e, not a huge amount to be honest but i do have the advantage of being able to do pretty much all of it myself, the exception being the fuel tank which was made for me. I am realistic enough to know that i cannot possibly hope to be on a par with some cars but that is not why i...

Engines are standard (well mine is anyway) with only headskim allowed. Debates about ECU tampering keeps on raging but hopefully we can sort that side of it out this year. Certain cars are unbelievably fast but im not going to comment because i know damn well that some of them are members on...

Average lap speed for a production class micra is 51mph, that doesnt sound much but for a 1/4 mile oval its fast....around 65-67 mph at the end of the straights....in 2nd...lol

we use a sticker system rather than having to paint the roof every 5 mins but yes, it works to ORCI rules the same as the uk

Tell me about it.....im just of out the door now to go and buy one for getting to work....i'll give it until the morning before i go messing with it...lol

They are fantastic cars, rumours around that some are costing around 5000e to build!!!! (i do find it hard to belive though). As for the camber frank, i just didnt get time to do it properly, too busy getting the 801 car straightened after it ended up on its roof 2 weeks previous (over excited...

Just had our first meeting of the year at Tipperary Raceway, K11's are pretty much dominating the junior and production classes now, a few k10's still remain. Hope you like the pictures...there are some very pretty cars around this year. We have new weight limits this year....570kg's One of the...

11, 1 and 9 o clock, correct but what about the one at 3 o'clock on the back of the engine just above the o/s inner drive??

Right, the way i figured it out was this.... all the wires on the white block i cut and bared all the ends, twisted them together and ran a live to all of them. The car started then. Next, i left it running and removed wires until it cut out. Write down which wires you need on paper and keep...

I'll measure full droop for you but as it stands for me with the short spring im using i would have approx 1'' free float from the cup, this obviously isnt a problem on the track as we dont have any bumps to contend with. I cant see it being a problem on the road though with longer/softer spring...

New tyre rules this year mean we have to use these stupidly high wall a021's (cheaper to make things fairer). Im using 6'' rims as these are the maximum width allowed. looks good anyway

if you look at the pictures closely you will see my arches have been raised 1'' ;). Potential to lower will be limited by spring length id imagine. Mine is low and stiff....400lb springs in the front...you can feel every little crack on the track like its a canyon...lol

No, no rub at all

The bottom bush has to be trimmed 2mm either side, there is plenty of meat to do this. no other mods to the shock other than removing the bottom base ring. 10 mins work per shock is all it takes plus 30mins removing the OE spring cup mounting

Its a setup that appears to work very well, gives more control over the back end. i must try and get a couple of video's up when the season starts in 3 weeks, micra's now dominate the 1 litre classes, they really do fly and handle superbly.

Hi frank, they look different to the ones i got anyway!! mine were for almera up to 1998 1.4. For the top i have the spring sat in the cup and have the original micra bumpstop and metal cap with the rubber donut on top, just the same as the standard setup. When you tighten the top nut its all...

Seen alot of lads using this setup in hotrods so i decided i'd try it today on mine. Bought 2 brand new early almera shocks and first thing i did was get the angle grinder out and cut the bottom cup ring off to clear the micra tunnel, then removed the original support for the axle spring (still...

Before you go changing the lambda sensor (which is quite possibly faulty, i wont deny that) i would personally check condition of the plugs and air filter, easier to do a good service first and compare your mpg. Lambda sensors on the micra exhaust manifolds DO NOT come out very easily....trust...
