No havn't checked any of it really as like i say, it never bothered me until i started this rebuild. Now for piece of mind i'd like to know i can control it:p. Just on like a flip switch really, simple on and off Flat_out

Thanks for the replys. So i could just splice into 2 of these wires under the dizzy? and run the wires from there up to a switch into the dash? Flat_out

Says in the post hooded(Y), They are xenon white but for some reason give off a blue colour Flat_out

Evening everyone, Right, the radiator fan has never worked on my car since ive had it. Dont know why really, but the temp guage has never been over the middle point so never really had any worries with it(Y). However ive just finished fitting the 1.3 engine in and had a turbo manifold made up...

Made any more progress on this glen? Flat_out

Stani has the white super s too right? if so im sure that would be used more on the road and he'd keep the grey one for the strip. Surely all the inside of the doors weigh more than lightweight bloody wheel nuts:p. There seems to be so much critisism surrounding this car, with the mapping issues...

Have you removed the dash and carpets from yours stani?

Hard to tell on the rust issue matey, i guess it the examiners opinion wether its on a certain part of the car, ie seatbelt mounts etc. My car is due for mot and the sills are completley knackered, they have been welded up once already. Might have to break the fiberglass out lol(Y). If i was you...

that is one lovely looking motor, bet it sounds amazing with the front exit exhaust(Y)

thats whays puzzling me, 1st and 2nd gear are rapid, real nice. This might be the other end of the scale but, could it be drivetrain? clutch slip in higher gears? it doesnt feel like it but im getting totally baffled right now, thanks all Flat_out

So how do i adjust the ignition timing anyway? Like is it possible for me to tweak it a little to see wether it makes a difference? Thus proving it is that, hope that makes sense Flat_out

I took these photos before i read that post:(, i can take some more though as i dont know if is tdc in the pics. How would i turn the engine over to get it there though?? Sprocket side. . Full cam shot. . . Sorry for all the questions, just really want this sorting out...

But the 1.0 that was in before didnt have nats? And surely it wouldnt matter if the 1.3 did as i didnt use any wiring from it? Im starting to wonder if its the cam timings now, as the cam cover bolts where loose when i changed the covers over. . maybe somebody had been in there and thats why it...

really dont want to spend £30 on a timing light and then it not be that though. I mean ive tried different dizzys and different positions of them on the bracket slots??? Flat_out

Are u talking top dead centre on the pistons? Sorry ive only ever rebuilt bike engines, usually single cylinder so thats the only tdc im familiar with. And would advancing be turning the distributor towards the dash of the car? im purely using guesswork here alienfish:P Flat_out

Nope, the only wiring that got disconnected, then reconnected was the injector loom and cylinder earths etc, all the ones needed to remove the engine. Flat_out

You say "was" the man frank, is he not on here anymore? Surely theres some simple explanantion to this eh? Something ive not done correctly when swapping over. For my first engine swap i thought id done quite well:p. And if the speed sensor was in the dash like we discussed, i cant really of...

the first cat is on the manifold though? And as he's running a turbo setup theres alot of differences. Space would be one problem im guessing:P

How about running a sports cat in the system? high flow but still acts as a catalyst.

I'll be there (Y). Hopefully get my car finished by early september. Many micra's going to be there? Think i saw yours at pickering show a while back? Flat_out
