You seized your engine? And now your changing it in a co-op car park? You got balls geezer! Loving your enthusiasm! I'm glad your mates like it too, i'm getting mixed impressions from my mates about owning a micra! With regards to your ICE, that seems fine to me, if it sounds alright to you...

ah ok. Well i want a full exhaust system anyway, and probably going to do some uprated carbs. i have a set of 600cc motorbike carbs in my garage but their not CBR ones. Reckon they'd be as good/better? Or worse?

oh ok. What other mods would it need to get to 120BHP?

I so badly would love a set of them! Being 4x100 ET35 they'd fit right? 4 toyo 195/45/15's for an extra £60 too! So, lowered -35mm or -40mm woul dthey fit alright?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He ended it for no reason overnight =( it ended today too! Whats the spec on them? Also, what does half the spec mean, as i'm new to carbs. They seem easier to fiddle with than injection engines, no need for remapping! Also, i'd appreciate the help, although my dad will be...

how do i know your not gonna outbid me on them though?? i don't wanna come across as defensive but i doubt i could afford to miss these! As for overfueling, you can adjust the fueling by changing the jets can't you? just to add, are yo saying you'd go from 52BHP to near 120 just from using...

yeah man, i'd love to fit them. Each carb intake looks the same size/bigger than the stock carb haha!

Hi, right all, i've heard of peopel fitting CBR600 carbs (assumedly Honda CBR600), but has anyone tried Honda CBR900 Fireblade carbs? Surely you'd get better gains? Also, owing to the fact they don't have an airbox, would they not damage your engine? Is it better to make a custom plenum and...

cool, do you reckon you can get 50mm to 38mm?

hi, does anyone know what external diameter the exhaust piping is? Im assuming i'll need a reducer as the inlet on the backbox i'm getting is 2 inch.

is that true, about the head and carb change? How hard is it to do? might do it on mine =)

If theirs too much air i'm sure you'd get some detonation or pinking though? I don't know if it applies to non-turbo cars, but on turbo'd lumps when too much air is forced in and not enough fuel, you hear a popping noise which is the uneven fuel mixture burning rather unusually! As for the...

Erm, call me silly willy but aren't carbs supposed to have air going in them? Like through the top? I assumed the air box wasn't just for fun y'see =)

oh sorry. video said micra =) still rapid on the strip though!

eww.

Or in a few years, an SR20DET. Be so much easier =) Has ANYONE finished one of these yet? Anyoen got any stats and any comments about them? How good are they with corners as i'm assuming the extra weight doesn't go down to well. Well the front of the car goes down well, but it overall doesn't...

you could go wrong but it's not much to lose. Carefully used double sided tape might work. Why not get some universal fit ones, they'd be easier surely?

some interesting info there. Haha i'd put the volvo engine in, but it's only 135bhp being a non turbo one. with the hassle of fitting (due to size plus its a RWD engine) and the amazing extra weight i'd probably do better to turbo my 1.2 or drop an SR20DET in. even the 2.3 turbo volvo engines...

The ZX coupe is still on eBay as far as i'm aware. That's not me advertising by the way as i'm not the one selling the car, i was looking for the model so hopefully someone could get me a part number for that splitter. The car was going cheap, last i saw i think it was £107. 1 day or so left...
