Loving this build and looking forward to what the end result shall be! Borowing the exhaust info for my diy exhaust too!

Cut the exhaust flange off your old one and use the rover k series. Weld together. That's what I've done for my minimicra. Also if you get the kseries one you can get one with an inbuilt cat for mot purposes. Not sure on the space needed by the k series but it's less than standard micra

Sorry alpina, didn't mean to mess you around. Got so much uni work to do at the moment and it's stressing me out. It slipped my mind unfortunatly. Hope you are not offended L

Yh I found it after a Google search. I was going to get one of those cheap alloy rads as that allows me to modify the piping as I can then learn to weld aluminium. Will get a nice header tank too for that coolent movement in the rad

Thanks for your imput l_jonez.

I'm planning on getting an AFR wideband...

The bare manifold minus injectors? Does £7:50 for the manifold sound ok? Not sure on postage tho so shall look into it for you and get back

Cheers pollyp, my intake is simply a metal tube belended to the inlet port but I don't think I have space to add a Teflon spacer. I'll bear the timing in mind when skimming the head then, don't want wasted power there Is it worth going for copper core hg leads and Philips 4 point spark plugs...

Nope it's from a 998 but was fitted with a 160mm clutch. Does that help at all? If not there is a flywheel on my new engine I can check
