New update, recently been having some strange problems with the car.. around last week i had my instrument dials out for a bit of painting on the plastics, when putting them back in the temp gauge needle is basically not working.. it rests basically where it does when the car is parked!

Then i found it funny that the next morning the car failed to start and flooded so we did the ECU trick and got it to start, also 4th cylinder is only reading about 6 and a quarter as apposed to 10/12 that im getting through the rest, just wondering if i had tripped something fatal somewhere??

Also i have a really annoying ''wind'' like loose noise coming from under the car.. heat shield?? exhaust rubber/bush????

thats all for now

..oh and it also needs a damn good clean

 

[Dougyledds]

Car is running here, just on the drive

 

[McMicra]

Looks sick with the white dial surround!!

Thanks.. i got hopefull then as i thought someone would help me with my problems haha

 

[r-reg-sr]

earth the gauge sensor (one wire) when the ignition lights are on see if the temp needle moves.

 

[Dougyledds]

Really losing the love with this, wanting to start again

What's wrong Doug?

 

[Dougyledds]

What's wrong Doug?

I dunno mate tbh, in a nutshell its not ''boring'' me, im just tired of its setup.. the suspention is gash (especially on the back) it looks as dull as a weatherd peice of brick, the engines bumping and jumping and all that crap constantly..

Maybe its telling me i just need a different setup/route to go down on a new shell

I think ive just got over the ''low and slow'' factor or am slowly but surely..

Here are some mint examples of what id love/have in mind:

Heres one of Harlen's when it looked proper raw and ready:

Just feeling a change mate is all

 

[karlj]

So what you're after is a track car

 

[Dougyledds]

So what you're after is a track car

Maybe a ''Track'' style Micra yeaa, i wanna keep in the roots as i just love the cars!

 

[karlj]

It's easily done.

right wheels, some harnesses and stripped interior

What the man right here said!

I' haven't exactly spent a fortune on my car and it's already track-day spec. Only issue is I've got the euro look going on at the same time... stretchuuu tyres will see my laughed out of any decent track day

 

[markbognor]

I'd put the stripes on the outside if its a race look you are after. Remove all the fripperies in the cabin too.

 

[karlj]

Damn teachers

Lol do translate for the none tech types of the land Mark

 

[karlj]

I missed a p in stripped and Mark spotted it before I did

 

[Dougyledds]

Haha i see now!

 

[jk9194]

Don't worry man so you can make your Micra into micraformer.

 

[Dougyledds]

Right then! A nice meaty update for a change

Il start by uploading pictures and explain in stages..

Recently had my car half sort of mopped and it looks a lot nicer.

Its still preety clean looking just needs a good waxing and seal at some stage soon

Next was the spoiler..

Managed to bond this on with Tiger seal, great stuff!

It matches with the theme ive got going on now a lot better

Today i sorted some much needed surface rust because of the snow/winter

This was it before i had a go..

(i had had a new sill a good while ago and only just got round to painting it again)

Started masking it all up and got hold of some primer (i used gray in the end for the first bit as that was all i had but then went to get some white primer)

Then did the sill also..

They both turned out way better than they were before, so hopefully this should protect it for a good while!

Lastly i did a bit of degreasing in and around the engine bay

Just need to tackle the door now in the week, will probably end up giving that a respray as its only the bottom half on where the side strips were

'tis all for today

 

[Jay101]

Very good Doug. Making most of the weather

 

[skymera]

Can't quite tell on my phone. Did you paint directly over that rust??

I made it nice a flat first bert, its only surface rust that was from the snow and it just came off really

 

[Dougyledds]

OK then!

Give me some ideas people..

As a few of you know recently ive gave up my high on 15s sort of idea, and ideally want to go lower when ive got my minilites sorted etc,

But the main idea of this post is to start the new Panda theme! As my car is white and i only really like the 2 black and white contrasts, i need some ideas..

Getting some stickers made up soon but just a couple of subtle ones, just wanna know what you all think would look cool etc

 

[Japi]

One idea. style needs modifying to fit micra though.

 

[SirChris]

paint a dragon on your bonnet...cause u are super mega awesome

 

[markbognor]

 

[Enuo]

^This is so full of win. You have pov spec bumpers already so this would be fairly easy to pull off too!

 

[markbognor]

 

[Jay101]

Yeh do a two tone

That looks cool!

 

[Dougyledds]

Hmmm, just flat black or a stencil with it maybe?

why not get a vinyl made up? Black sunstrip might do it, and if you hate it it pulls straight off

 

[Jen319]

done a quick mock up...I like it Dougy

...and as Enuo said...get some of that vinyl wrap stuff and when you change your mind...again.... It'll come off

 

[jk9194]

Yea and with black super s / sr bumpers (will be hard looking though).

There is panda wheels. Have you see this wheels before?
