Got an issue- my flywheel is a 2 piece flywheel bolted together- I assume it can still be lightened but still need to keep the thread for the bolts or easier to get another flywheel? Help as supposed to be machining on Sunday??? :( Bolted together Flywheel face Back plate of flywheel

Well mine gained 2bhp at wheels on 1275 motor. His example may have lost but mine gained. Had a before and after dyno about 45 mins apart approx. Maybe different spec. Mine has cams fitted and high flow filter and exhaust. If his was bog standard maybe that's the difference.

That's whatthe airfilter does. Removed mine (previous owner) on dyno and gained 2bhp at wheels. Ensure your pipework is clean before you do and and you will be fine I'm sure. I've done forest driving in the dry and a rally in the forestry in the wet and mine has been fine. Up to you though. The...

Ballpark figure? Just first thing I'll get asked. No cage?

Which Pembrey you doing? I've done Xmas stages last two years in mk1 escort and the gwendraeth. Good venue but not very suited to slow micra. Just put entry in for patriot stages caerwent next month

I used to run a 205 and loved it. Fantastic car, swapped it for a gti 6 which I did 2 road rallies- pants for the lanes but good motor. Looks like you got the best of both worlds

Fair point Frank. Fatter spark only needed if higher compression yeh. going to get it set up again soon hopefully get the cam timing tweeked to increase mid range? Going to hold off on the 1L pistons at the moment as doing more rallies and engine seems quite reliable. Will maybe build a complete...

Hola, thinking about upgrading the plugs with slightly larger gap, new dizzy cap n rotor arm, putting magnecore plug leads. Is this realistically likely to give any gain? A bigger spark always better yeh but not necessarily more go? Just better burn? Cheers for your thoughts

I might know of someone from Blackwood after a micra rally car. How much you looking and what's the spec? Put it on facebook?

The first 5 cars were mk2s darrians n wrc cars- I looked like I wasn't even moving compared to them:p Where was you watching? If uphill my car def looked pants. You going to compete in a stage event?

Bought. Cheers

Hola, during rally on weekend I noticed that my car is leaking some oil from the seal where the shaft enters the gearbox ( gear box side/ n/s) I've been told these are difficult to get hold of? Going to pull the box out to lighten the flywheel soon so will sort same time

(assuming not being sarcastic fella:grinning:)Lots of cars did retire mind you. I'd like to think I can drive to a reasonable level but there are a lot of quick people about nowadays. People who compete in track days and circuit driving are quick with a different style. Very smooth with minimal...

Another little picture thanks to Paul Mitchell for the picture. The jump/bridge is around a corner so quite tricky. Micra jumps quite safely though. Handles well

One more go

Doh

Another little jump. Hope picture is right way this time
