    Citroen 2CV + Ferrari F355 = messy underwear

    I'd love to see that done to a Micra. I already toast most other cars at the lights but this would certainly surprise people :D BG

    the best steelies ever

    Are they 13s? (assuming they are) and would they fit a K11? :) BG

    fuel prices

    Do these LPG kits work alongside the existing petrol fuel supply? (i.e. switchable) - LPG outlets seem to be quite scarce and running out in the middle of nowhere could be a bit of a problem :( BG

    15" Fox Racing Alloys

    Will these give enough clearance for the arches on standard suspension (loads of vicious ramps in my area) and accurate speed readings? I'm looking at replacing my steelies. Thanks BG

    k10 Question list. Any takers please

    Best thing is to park with rear wheel right against the kerb, turn to full lock and put your own clamp on the rear roadside wheel. Bloody pariahs :mad: BG

    Tweeters are too loud

    Pleased you sorted it, I edited my post above BTW because I mucked up the calculations :D BG

    Wiring speakers in parallel

    The leads going to/from the first speaker should be thick enough to handle the TOTAL power. IMHO you would be better wiring all the speakers direct to the amp, you'll get a better response from the second set in comparison to the first setup. This also makes it easier to add a four-channel amp...

    My K10

    Nice looking K10, wish there were a few more around, look after it m8 :) BG

    k10 Question list. Any takers please

    Hopefully not, would you get the deposit back if you can get enough for the fine (sorry release fee) and tax? Apart from the rust which is treatable, you seem to have sorted out the initial problems and at such low mileage you'll have a good run with that car. K10s can run for well over 100k BG

    Tweeters are too loud

    Have you tried the -6dB setting? I suspect this would still be to loud, so you may need to add resistors - I'm not sure off the top of my head what impedance tweeters usually are, but assuming they are 4 ohms, you could add one 4.7 ohm 5W across each tweeter and one 2.2 ohm 5W in series with it...

    How did you find the Micra Sports Club?

    Found the forum some time back using a search engine, when I was looking for advice on my K10 :) BG

    Automatic K11 convert in to Manual?

    Manuals are also (apparently) more economical, though I've never driven an auto so can't comment on performance/economy etc.. However, I would think an auto would attract a higher price for reasons mentioned above. BG

    can this be fixed?

    Scum did this to mine a few weeks ago but in my case the ignition barrel was pulled apart, luckily all the bits were lying in the footwells so I put it back together. The bakelite(?) part with the 5 contacts was out along with the contact plate, springs and ball-bearing. However, the plug is...

    50 to 55 mpg on micra 1.4 k11

    The fuel sensor (at least the one used for the low fuel warning light) appears to be nearer the back of the tank, since when the fuel level drops close to it the light comes on when going downhill and goes off again when going up. It would be handy to be able to recalibrate it though as even...

    50 to 55 mpg on micra 1.4 k11

    I can't say I'm that happy with my MPG - only ~230 miles on a tank (£30) compared to about 300 for my K10. However that is a combination of urban and motorway driving and I do have a lead foot :rolleyes: BG

    drivimg over the limited help

    When you're watching the speedo, you are NOT watching the road. Simple as. This is why some of these arbitrary speed limits are doing more harm than good. When driving (especially at night on empty roads) I drive at a speed which is appropriate for the conditions (visibility, road surface...

    Can someone explain this to me, please?

    Age doesn't come into it if it's your policy you are driving with, or you are a named driver on someone else's policy, because the premium already takes that into account. Your dad will be driving the other person's car on his own policy, and I would think that as a "named driver" you are only...

    A few questions

    I would think so, but I'll definitely be checking this as it's rather annoying when you've just vacuumed the car and then loads of detritus gets blown everywhere when you put the blowers on :doh: Luckily I don't have hayfever (used to as a kid) but some people I know do and it isn't pleasant...

    fuel consumption a little high !!

    I forgot to mention that on my Leicester to Dorking run I had 2 passengers and a load of kit/food/booze in the back. All this and most of the journey in the fast lane so not too bad really :) probably only passed by less than a dozen other cars there and back. I'm rather pleased with my Micra's...

    Sleeping in a micra..

    I've slept in my K10 a few times. Quite comfy with the seat fully reclined but gets a bit cold! Not slept in my K11 yet. Those Recaros look comfy. How much would a pair of those set me back? BG
