Regular Posts: 208 Location: High Peak Derbyshire | I'm only joking guys, I know how much you all love your metro's. I'd have one of those 1.8 K-series ones like the Talon, I saw it lapping Donington a couple of weeks ago, seems to go OK for a Metro  | ||

 MetroPower Bouncer ™ Forum Admin Location: Gloucester @ Da Ghetto. Innit. | I think thats a beast, and I'd rather see that than a rusty 1.1 Metro! At least it's unique, and it is still a Metro at heart. LT | ||

| I saw one of those in white, on the Motorway near Barnsly. My first thought was, I wouldn't want to have a crash in that!!  | |||

Its better than some of the things we have had said about metros.. For me the best thing to do with a metro is to step away... and leave the cheque book at home.. Nice car though but not my cup of tea... | |||

Regular Posts: 208 Location: High Peak Derbyshire | This is the K-series version, as you can see not nice at all, a shame they didn't keep the looks of the A-series powered one. (bluecortez.jpg) Attachments ---------------- bluecortez.jpg (77KB - 99 downloads) | ||

Regular Posts: 208 Location: High Peak Derbyshire | Another one, these are photos of photos taken a few years ago, the car looks in a sorry state now, hopefully a good polish will bring it back up to scratch.

| Expert Posts: 9862 Location: Cornwall | Midas - 2/10/2006 6:16 PM Very interesting conversion Ralph, I've been searching for your thread on that since I saw you mention it on the turret post, search doesn't seem to work very well for me so I haven't seen it yet. I'd be very interested in that. A few people have managed to do the conversion on a Midas too, as you say not that easy. I wouldn't describe doing it to a turbo as breaking, more bringing the car bang up-to date and ditching that well past it's sell by-date A-series engine. can you post me a link to your thread please. Thanks Stuart. i have no idea how hard it would be to do on a midas cause i dotn know anything about them, the main problem is they are bigger! the subframe on k series tros is bigger to so it will not fit inside the crossmember, infact will not even fit inside the front valence! as far as a series engines being out of date, they are old but i think theya re still good little engines, can you throw a 285 cam in a k series engine and just tune it up and off you go?? no you cant! to do it properly you need a full new injection system costing £2000 or what ever, with the a series u can get a new carb needle for £8! i spent about 4 years fafing about with the a series engine and they are great engines to learn on and very hard to break engines! there are few threads on my car in the technical section and i can no more be botherd to find them then u can!! when you learn to respect metros i will find them for you  Ralph Edited by ralphh85 3/10/2006 1:24 PM | ||
