Frank what did you do in the back then? Yours looks lower than the cut coil and corsa b shock?

Nope forget that...already answered haha. You lower the perch right down onto the side legs bit?

I did the Matiz rear into the front, wasn't low enough. Why lower the perch, rather than cut spring? Reading now Frank.

Argh....I thought it was the Micra strut and matiz spring, I've cut the matiz rear spring in the micra strut and now it doesn't sit at all haha. I'll go to a scrappy tomorrow and get a Matiz front then and cut how many coils? Or if you read this before I find it...do you have a link in your blog?

Quick one while I'm at the garage...what amount of adjustment should I leave for my panhard rod I'm making!? 80/100mm?

Did you check this one Frank? Reason I ask is I've found a friend who can do me banded steelies, I'd love a set of frankenspeed ones but you're too far. :( Wanted to know what thickness of strip you welded in, or what the process was? Also what lowering did you do for your avatar pic? Is that...

I've just found this thread. Frank since I've joined here you've been my go to for...everything. All the way from NI, thank you...your help is priceless. I think I should make a decal just for my Micra dedicating it to frankspeed. If it turns out well ill make you all one!

I'm not sure I've ever seen an import here...definitely in the south theres a larger import market, something to do with the import duty...not sure of the details.

Unless theres a punchline to that question I think they're all the same. P-3 We can't be the only two man haha.

Washing Yeah alright....washing is washing. We probably all do it, or some of us get other people to do it. I wash by hand in the below method. Personally i don't see the point of not getting into a wash routine if you're going to detail a car. Bad techniques put back things like swirl marks and...

You want the colours as outlines not solid like on mine?

So i figured i'd start a detailing blog. I think a lot of people are nervous about this sort of thing, and a lot of people are comfortable at different levels of it. I've not trained in this, just read advice, practiced...and learned by mistakes. If you're not sure, ask me and i'll help if i...

Nah they're easy believe it or not, what colours are you doing it? Send me a screen shot sure If you want...I could have a look if you want?

I'm not sure about gauges of wire, but I'd use the same as the loom size from.the connector. Always go bigger not smaller I think is the rule? I'd cut into the loom and heatshrink it then use some split conduit to make it look factory! Just personally of course.

I've a long way to go before I don't miss the power of my 250bhp Derv Golf. :( I'm going to get a rover manifold this weekend and bodge that on.

Finally haha! We have 2! Where abouts are you? That was actually pretty easy, I used special vectoring software for a vinyl cutter which auto detects the edges of a certain colour, I just had to fill in some spaces. What's the badge? What are you using to edit it?

Fine, I will haha.

Nothing to teach...give it a try, seriously. I just try whatever I'm doing myself like...I'm obviously only sharing whatever I think works!! I'm finishing my micra blog shortly and I'll maybe do a "how I do detailing" guide in a separate blog...its just experiments I guess, might not be that...

Oh no, not saying I don't believe it...just that it's unbelievable?...If that makes sense!

So an extra 20hp?! Surely not...
