So the spark occurs at the correct moment extracting maximum power from the petrol air charge and avoiding engine damage ;)

See, I presumed you meant engine power and on reflection I imagine you meant electrical power - to run ancillaries etc. I run an additional pair of spotlamps, for a lot of the time when competing. I find the alternator alone is enough to keep it all alive while the engine keeps running but, one...

Likewise, mine seemed to go like that too. Once a thing has been done it's always easier and quicker the next time. There ought to be a 'law of the human condition' or something that states this well known phenomenon. Thusly I propose 'The spark lead law'?!

What a ballache of a job! I've just finished building them. You have to effectively bend in two little tabs and then push the long bit out the back eh. But without misshaping the spark plug socket. It takes quite a while to piddle them apart doesn't it, all the sealant holding them together had...

I haven't thrashed the car lately so can't judge that yet. Why do you ask, should I?

£50 is expensive, there is plenty of choice cheaper than that. Just fyi AGM is not liquid, it too is spillproof as the electrolyte is Absorbed into a fibreGlass Matt which is why it gets it's name.

Take a look on the table! Check the tech specs carefully, they vary. Also ensure its AGM and not Gel, the CCA can be significantly different. Though I'm not saying gel wouldn't work, more is better. This one has M5 threaded inserts with bolts into them. I screwed 30mm grub screws into mine and...

Avo make damping adjustable front struts to suit. Says for autograss but what the hell eh! Don't know how the price compares to Gaz? http://avouk.com/MotorsportFrameset-84.htm

So far! It's the same as the alternatives so it should. Been on and used every day for 7 days upto now. Capable of starting the car with no dropoff at least 4 times in a row easily.

If you want a proper lightweight racing battery these days you are likely to have to consider Lithium polymer technology but you will also be shelling out well over £200 and that doesn't bear consideration, does it? Until recently the best you could do was a Varley red top or an Oddysey...

Likely they are for std struts. A set of Gaz will have springs (50mm id) on them already?

Sell up and get a Mini eh!

12v battery was getting a bit dodgy after standing for a while so this is the one I replaced it with Need to think of a better way to strap it down though, any suggestions?

Well done!

I've started a set for the Grape. I struggle to get the ceramic tube end bits apart and chipped it in the process. I didn't buy and change the cable yet but can I hell as like reassemble / rebuild it. I stopped and gave up after that. What am I doing wrong?

I fancy a go with 4 more mods but I'm not sure which has the higher value to performance disable rev limiter raised fuel pressure zero resistance spark leads Bosch super 4 spark plugs with 1.8mm gaps

Just took another look at the micro micra project and that 998 has a hp plateau between 3800 -4800 rpm too. http://www.ebbt.no/ebb-s-micra-micra-prosjekt/ half way down - where he tests the spark leads.

I acquired that bracket fitted to my first micra so I don't know it's origins, sorry. If you look down behind the slam panel you can see two oem holes with welded nuts for the ends an it bolts through a small square hole in the centre vertical. I can get you pics if you still struggle to see. hth

Info like this usually stamped on the wheels somewhere. Width would be nice too please.
