i seem to remember someone had redrilled a K11 strut brace and fitted it to a K10 aswell? I might still have some autocad drawings with dimensions for a custom one somewhere aswell. not sure though. will have a look tommorow. :) Owen

only one way to find out. put your head in there and shut the bonnet..lol.. thats a joke btw, dont actually do it. there's plenty of room for a strut brace, plenty of people have already done this mod on the K10. Owen

yes.. exactly. Old engine out, new engine in. :) If you havent got MPi in there to start with you need to change the wireign loom for one from a metro GTi 16V though. Personally i just swpped pistons, liners and crank over though, the 1.8 i got had a crack in the block. and you can fit 15's...

yeh, ive been useing mozilla for a few years now under linux, was always really impressed with the tab browsing feature. As i said, it dosnt really bother me about the speed. I'm only on 64K ISDN at the moment anyway cause my broadband router has gone down. lucky we still have ISDN as a backup...

hmmm.. sounds like a plan.. we could make the getaway in 3 modified micra's, italian job style. :)

The forums have been painfully slow for me since the changeover. Didnt want to say anything though because they do work fine eventually and im sure youve all got enough to worry about without me complaining..lol :p Owen

i did 12 GCSE's and a GNVQ advanced inbusiness studies in school. In the 6th form at school everyone had to do 5 AS levels and then they had to drop 2 of them in the second year. thats why i went to college and did my national diploma instead. but the college would have been fine with me just...

gotcha :) i misunderstood what you were trying to achieve, i take it you plan to fabricate your own out of steel? for a carb obviously without the plenum chamber though?

A funny one of me to keep you all entertained, was at my g/f's house last october when i went down to visit for a couple of day's. Owen

recomend a job.. hmmm.. pimp? drug dealer? ive been considering becomeing both to help fund my addiction to modifying. modifying cars is expencive enough, but i tend to modify everythign i can get my hands on. my pc's, my ps2, my hifi, my motorbike, my car's, myself, everything!! Owen

lol.. that could be an interesting chat up line.. "hey, wanna come back to mine and play with my lightsabre?" lmao.. i'm sure i should have better things to do with my time than posting crap like this :p Owen

S*** i didnt realise the pic's were THAT big :S fixed now though :) you do realise the carb would be stickign up through the bonnet though dont you? .o0(mmmm.. power bulge)

just looked for some piccies of the RX7's inlet manifold. it looks to me like it will work with a little modification (assumeign the ports are roughly in the right place on the micra's engines) BUT the RX7 manifold is slightly angled to make the carb sit flat. (or it looks like it in the pics...

the valves may be large to start with, but as with any standard valves they arent built for high flow. Inlet manifold isnt easy to make, modifying the valves is fairly easy and does show increases in power from my experience. Problem is im just guessing that the increase was down to the head...

there are "specialist sites" for ordering condoms..lol.. www.britishcondoms.com are pretty good, great service. ordered some glow in the dark condoms from them a while back..lol..glow in the dark stuff's cool :D Owen

you might be better off geting some work done to the head before bothering changeing inlet manifold and carbs. bigger valves modified for low flow resistance and a little big of tidying up on the casting is pretty much all it needs though. :) or atleast thats all i did to the cylinder head on...

RE: RE: Purchases sounds like a plan :) but the kit is very subtle anyway, but quite rare aparently so i probably wont be able to get one anyway. It should be a fun car. i think my metro is fun aswell though, but the metro's with the 1.8 conversion are gettign too common now, not many...

cool. band's called Dragonfly. we dont have any albums out yet but we are busily working on new songs (or we were before they decided to do a britney spears cover) ready for the end of march when we are all off to manchester to record our first album. our bassists dad is friends with someoen...

for my metro 1.8: new water pump, Gti Skirts, get round to tinting the windows. for my maestro 1.3: Copper head gasket, fit my stage 3 cylinder head, phase 2 turbo camshaft, Oil cooler, fit turbo and manifolds from my metro turbo engine, new exhaust, tint windows, maestro turbo...

new zealand is great :D takes AGES to get there though. when i went i flew to thailad and then from there to australia and then to new zealand. stayed the night in thailand though which was fun. :) what part of new zealand are you going too? there are some beautifull towns/cities there...
