Ade's SR

Ade...that back box for a tenner. Who welded it?

That would be me
I got a clamp on repair piece so it's clamped to stainless back box but welded to the std exhaust, if I fancy a different back box it's a bolt off and bolt on job now

When I got it the passenger side window didn't work. It was the usual issue with the plastic clips on the bottom of the glass

Hmmm, I'm thinking of getting a standard back box bend for the Civic and a universal can.

I know someone who can oxy weld it. Think it'd work?

Front springs are unknowns from Andy h701, front shocks are std. Rear springs are cut std and rear shocks are corsa b.

I found the alto springs a little too soft tbh

That should be fine. My backbox was fubar'd so I chopped it up for the inlet pipe and the hangers, so this box is hung as original

Fiesta MK1 springs. 30% ish stiffer iirc

 

[MicrAde]

So, the primera has, sadly, gone to a new owner :'(
It's place has been taken by a smaller cheaper car as personal circumstances dictated.
It's small, it's Jap, it's not a micra it's not even a Nissan
Anyway, have some piccies

So glad you bought it

Oh Ade, what the hell is that?

It's a Daihatsu YRV. Comes with all the toys, powered by a 1.3 16v engine that it shares with the Toyota Yaris that produces a micra beating 86 bhp. The power is usually put down through the front wheels but if the front wheels spin 50% of the drive is passed to the rear wheels
Admit it Scott, you're impressed

It'll be handy when I restart fishing, some ponds are down quite inaccessible tracks
Though it's not actually a "real" 4x4

There was a warm turbo version of these, but they all came with a funny auto box I think. Might be some nice bits around. I've always liked the look of them, especially the longitudinal bonnet crease. But then I'm strange like that.

 

[MicrAde]

Correct, 130 bhp (ish) rare and quite pricey
Seen a few breaking too

I've already had naughty thoughts of finding a turbo YRV breaking

Guess what ? ( I know some of you already know )
I have once again changed my car and yes, at last, I'm back behind the wheel of a K10

 

[Belly93]

Good about time hahaha

 

[MicrAde]

I know Adam

 

[Jen319]

Yay!!!!!

 

[MicrAde]

Updates, including pics, to come later. Busy with my babes

@James thread name change ( again )

I'll just put some SR stickers on the 10 Steve

 

[MaxK11C]

Award for most cars in a single thread?

 

[MicrAde]

My 'new' K10

 

[h701micra]

K10 POWAAAA

 

[karlj]

I have the perfect engine for that if you want

 

[MicrAde]

Everybody keeps offering me engines! It runs fine!

 

[karlj]

Maybe but it'll run much better with this one

 

[MicrAde]

Gimme some details Karl, don't keep me in suspenders

 

[karlj]

What am I trying to get rid of?

 

[MicrAde]

Del sol?

 

[karlj]

Yep

 

[karlj]

Was doing some maths with Andy and its a viable swap without too much effort

 

[MicrAde]

Won't you want that engine for your K10?

 

[MicrAde]

It's actually pretty interesting Karl, but sadly engine swaps are gonna be way down the line

 

[karlj]

At this rate I won't be getting one, they're all either over priced or too far away

 

[MicrAde]

They do seem to be getting pricier and you're right about distance, 360 mile round trip for mine!

 

[MicrAde]

What about the gold one that's up for sale? No t&t but only £100

 

[karlj]

Gold one?

See I don't think I could do that

 

[MicrAde]

Anyone want my Micra?

 

[karlj]

Didn't see that

 

[MicrAde]

Go on..........do it!
