Battery keeps going flat (abit of back story) A reconditioned Alternator was purchased in June 2020 A new battery was purchased in October (the same day I started to pull the 1.0L out). Did the engine swap and the car started first time with no issues every day up until the 29th December Ever...

Its been a busy couple of days The wings were removed to be repaired and rust treated. I'm by no means experienced with body work/filler so this isn't gonna be a fantastic job lol With the filler sanded and the Kurust dry, I gave the treated areas a coat of zinc primer. With the...

Mine pulled straight out but I think there's tabs that you squeeze in

After what seemed a life time waiting for delivery, the next segment of the build had arrived and was ready to be fitted. The first being a Sparco Sprint L seat and OMP 4 point harness. A friend modified the stock seat runner to allow the Sparco seat to be mounted. Its a really nice and simple...

195/50 is more readily available, plus Paul's experience and recommendations were a large part of the decision making. Purely because I could see a visual representation of that wheel and tyre size and have feedback from someone who uses it. Although my re-engineered rear springs give a...

Was great to meet you on both occasions, its nice to see another local member :) Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Super S bumper. Are the BMW Bottlecaps staying the same colour?

It'll be under the inlet manifold area

Its been a busy couple of weeks I'll start off by sharing a Mighty Car Mods inspired poster I created. I'll update the car when its eventually finished and I'll get it printed and framed to go along side my Mira and Super Turbo posters. Finding a background image was the most challenging, I...

I've been wanting to try a new photo look/technique for awhile but hadn't had the spare time. The car had been neglected since the end of summer last year and I can't remember the last time it was washed. Unfortunately with winter and moving house it wasn't at the top of my priority list (plus...

I'm not affiliated with Gizfab (just a customer) but wanted to share their new adjustable coilovers for the K10 and K11 https://gizfab.com/product/nissan-micra-k10-adjustable-coilovers/ https://gizfab.com/product/nissan-micra-k11-adjustable-coilovers/

You can see the front ARB (left side is black) in this photo

The front and rear arches were rolled and the inner arches cleaned,wire brushed, rust treated and undersealed The rear drums also got a coat of Smooth Black Hammerite So the search for new wheels continued. I have been wanting to put a set of cool japanese wheels on the car since I bought...

A few weeks ago I asked my friends if anyone had a 15x8j ET0 wheel I could borrow to test fit. A friend said he had some from a Civic EK which I could use. With the wheel mounted, I was pleasantly surprised how well they fit but they had too much stretch for my liking. With the wheel size...

In January I ordered quite a few items, some were made to order and with this on going pandemic things were a little slower than usual. The first to arrive is the most marmite purchase. This was the whole reason I did the pre-facelift swap, JUST so I could have this bumper. Blackflag-Labs were...

Back in October I bought some Almera N15 1.6 calipers. These are a single piston caliper with 252mm vented discs,compared to the K11 single piston caliper with 234mm solid discs With the brakes stripped off I wire brushed the hubs and shock absorber body down ready for a lick of paint. I also...

A throwback to when I fitted the side skirts, I discovered the N/S/R sill was rather soft, having poked a 50p size hole when finding a solid area to mount the side skirt. I also had the O/S front and rear jacking points cave in on me, not ideal! So it was time to sort the sills out. My friend...

With the hope of attending a couple of track days this year, I wanted to help prepare the car abit better. The first add on were some aftermarket gauges. A friend had 2 sets of 3 gauges for sale, 60mm Pro Plus with smoked lenses and 52mm Motor Meter Racing with white faces. I originally went...

Have you checked the plug with a multimeter? To see if you're getting 12V?

I spoke to Mark a month or so ago and he was extremely helpful. I called the number on their website 01694 720144 https://www.tornadosystems.com/
