:laugh: I'm going in July and wanted a bench mark time set in a Micra to aim for. 10 mins in a Tranny van, (Sabine Schmitz on Top Gear) I was thinking my little 1.0L K11 will get round in about 11 mins!

Hi, has anyone been around the Nurburgring in a 1.0L K11 and what was your time?:laugh:

thanks r reg, I would prefer to keep it in the "community":)

thanks everyone, Ive been driving as far as I dare (off the gauge) and still no light!! I have noticed though, once in the red, the car really flies?!:laugh:

thanks mckenziecz, I like your thinking! i think eibach say a maximum of 1.5 deg for their bolts, what setting are you running?

:blush: sorry, your quite right Baz, I had the ##### cat dolls in mind at the time! pcd 4x100 : offset 42

Hi, I have just bought some Eibach negative camber bolts, in an attempt to improve the turn in and understeer of my little K11. (just had a new set of 35mm lowering springs fitted, 6x13 (42 pcd) wheels, excellent tyres and tyre pressures and tracking set perfectly) :question: Please could...

cheers Punx, I understand all the steering geometry changes when lowering the car, fitting new wheels with different PCD and different tyres etc etc, so I just wanted to get the best out of the set up I have :)

found these rear beam caliper mounting brackets, don't know much about what's needed just yet, but they do look nice and simple:) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190535248555&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1162wt_1139

is that with negative camber punx and if so, how much? just to turn in a bit quicker and reduce understeer :)

so what your saying Grevs, faster cornering speed = more negative camber? I've set the tracking to 0 toe-in/out and the cars drivers perfectly, tyre pressures set 32F & 28R, all good. I haven't put the neg camber bolts on yet, I'm a little worried about the inside tyre wear. :o Does fitting...

Hi all, I replaced the coolant today in my 1.0l K11 and when bleeding the system, I noticed the electrostatic cooling fan didn't kick in. (Come to think, I have never heard the fan work before, although, never any cooling issues?!) Did a little diagnostics, I plugged the fan directly to the...

Hi all, I have just converted my old K11 instrument panel for a shiny new one with a rev counter. This is a great conversion, if you can find one, its just plug and play - I just love these little cars!!!! Does my new instrument panel have a fuel warning light and audible buzzer like the...

Brilliant, thanks! is it both inlet and exhaust cams to change and will the engine need re-mapping?

Hi all! :question: I own a 1999 K11 1.0L, I just fitted some lovely new Route OZ wheels and Yoko tyres, new FK 35mm springs and negative camber bolts. Its had a full 4 wheel alignment and is driving and handling beautifully. Now Im after little more power but on a budget. (spent up on wheels...

Hi, I am after a little help and advice about steering geometry. I own a 1999 Micra K11 1.0L and I have just fitted FK lowering springs (35mm) and 13x6" OZ rally wheels with 185/60 tyres. Do I need to alter the geometry now I have changed the wheels and ride height? The standard...

Thats a nice car Baz!

Thanks LP1337, sound quite pricy but if it makes a difference, I'm more than happy to get cracking :grinning: thanks again

Hi, I drive a 1999 Micra K11 1.0L with drum brakes on the rear. Is it worth converting to rear discs and where can I source them. I think the later model K11's have rear discs (although Im not completely sure), what's the best way of swapping the two? Many thanks

Hi all, just browsing this months retro cars magazine and there a nice write up on a gorgeous 1989 Micra SuperTurbo. Just thought you would all like to know :) http://www.retrocarsmag.com/thismonth.asp
