first car,

how hard is it to do a cga3 conversion and does it effect nats or that?

 

[Shamalam]

Looking real nice man. How's the conversion going? Everything going to plan I take it.

 

[Belly93]

Conversion was done a few month ago, and you can use the 1l ecu if its a coilpack micra everything swaps straight over and you can use the 1l harness,

 

[Belly93]

looks good by the way i lowered my car 90mm on the back and 80mm on the front and it looks good but ad like it lower tbh

where aboutd in nrwcastle you from mate and mines low enough on these 12" wheels lol

Hmmm just need to find 300 to get it done. I was going to see about an exhaust setup but I should probably just wait for the engine swap. A local good mechanic said he'd swap it over for 150 if I had everything thing I needed. But if I don't need the loom it might be cheaper than that. Is it worth declaring the engine swap to the insurers?

i havent but im paying silly money to start with

 

[Shamalam]

Ah well. Ill get a quote, i've got 6 years no claims now so it might not be too bad after all, given the right insurer.

Hey mate just a quick question.. been thinking about the quick release systems myself, but the spline goes through my hub, just wondering if there is a hole in the bit fitted to the steering column already? or a small indent?
