update sorry for the pics but I feel like curse word and cant really be arsed at the mo! new seats (now I have a complete interior);    thanks for the seats rimmer  , you may notice ive put a new steering wheel on too froma 100NX much better I think  the k11 NME 4-2-1 manifold (engine bay needs a clean!)  New full stainless zorst thanks to the legends at long life zorsts!;   yummy! the cars performance at the moment just keeps amazing me its just such a nice car to drive on the motorway now and up hills it actually accelarates in 5th gear!!!! you find me another 1.0 that does that and does it well this car is nothing short of awesome! I wont be adding anymore power mods to the car now as I think its perfect the way it is and I don't want to blow the gearbox. all I shall be doing now is tuning the carbs and job done! shes around 85bhp now and weighs in at approx 655kg  |

and here are the figures (approx) for power to weight etc the 0-60 time its calcualted is nearly spot on i wonder about the other figues; Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 85 Weight without Driver (KG) : 655 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 131.85 0 - 60 (Secs) : 8.09 0 - 100 (Secs) : 24.39 60 - 100 (Secs) : 16.29 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.61 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 82.52 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.41 Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 83.95 |

nice i like the early micras ....get that manifold wrapped !

Lets clear up car terms:
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

nice job with the carbs I have a sunny with about the same power as standard and it puts smile on ya face I like it as much to drive as my S12 Silvia, its a good motorway car aswell, thats the thinkg mate, yes its quick in a straight line, but now it has some torque its so much nicer to drive on the motorway, hills and overtaking are no longer a worry. and its high end accelartion is amazing unlike a normal 1.0 that stops at 60 and revs its nuts off!  thanks for the comments chaps, and yes i will get the mani wrapped its on my long to do list |
