did the bulb holders come in a pair or is it one per pack? The website has confused me!
 
Now I was just going to ask are those night shots of the new speedo pod of the green one? I hadn't realised they'd light up black at night? but now I see you have the old pod in on the bulb shots.

Yea I put back to normal place cos I am going to use aftermarket rev counter soon. (this green dial is something wrong with temperature and petrol gauges )
 
Are those Phillips bulbs really a good improvement over standard H4s?
What about compared to the 55w blue filter H4s?

I'm only asking because I find the blue filtered H4s rather dull when surrounded by ambient light or other road users.

yea skyrema, they are better improvement than standard or blue h4s. i used to buy blue h4s alot. it will burn be on my headlight plugs later on and it was dull/ dim all the times. i was fed up so i bought these ceramic headlight plugs and better quality halogen h4s. its much better than before.

i got no problems with road users and it wont be affect their views. check on these reviews..... 'philips xtreme vision'
 
I may get myself some of those ceramic bulb holders too, how have you found them, any difference to normal?
Also I looked on ebay for some h4 xtreme vision bulbs but on the compatibility list it says they don't fit a micra :/

Little update......

Finally, i got my old job back now.:) It's time to saving up the money now.:D

I didn't do anything on my car since last month. I am going to plan to restore everything on my micra soon. I got custom 100mm springs with bilstein shocks and whiteline panhard rod.:cool: These parts need to be refurbish soon. It will be very slow progress because i got exams in variable dates.:eek: Good Luck to me:confused:
 
Hope the exams go well mate, looking forward to seeing the new mods on!
Finally gotta properly do bulbs etc on mine, just drove 130 miles at night with snow and rain with no fullbeams working, only left dipped beam and right sidelight! Connectors fell apart finally this afternoon!

Little update so far....

I tried my best to fix these rust areas on rear arches and rear bumper (its only small rust areas atm). I put some underbody sealant so it going to be temporary for a while. it looks so bad so in soon, i will need to do a proper job.
There is no point for me to modify my micra cos i need to sort these rust and common problems out first. if i done these then my car will be survive longer. i hope so.:rolleyes:

suspending doing with my micra from two days ago. :( i started to revise for my exams from yesterday. Now, i am thinking to get another micra 1.3 soon. i am going to try and cope with two micras in one way. we will see what happening in the future. :)
 
Finally, i bought black super s recently so i will make a new blog soon. :) It was about to scrap it so i managed to rescue this super s. I am not here to show off so just want to progress on this car (this car is hurting itself badly :() :) Hopefully i will run two micras in june if i get good insurance quotes.
 
Today, my insurance provider letter came in this morning today. They want me to stay another year again so its already drop the price. :eek: (First year was £3000. Now is £1150) Do you know why? I got one year ncb and almost two years driving licence . :D Was so pleased with this. Now, i need to find out for my super s soon. :)

with my super s. yes, i will do thanks. :)

i am happy with my first insurance provider (direct line) so i would like to stay with my first insurance provider for longer term. still i can get lower with others but i dont want too. will get a good name lol.

I'm not a fan of direct line, not very cheap and don't like mods...

It's true tho. My dad told me about this. I want to put extra mods which are only wheels and suspension. If they are cheap then I don't mind. Still it's better to find other companies if they are lower than direct line. I will find other companies before I move into second year. We will see.
 
I am very happy with church hill because it's one of my cheapest quote so far. I can't add add modification parts cos they will ask for more money. secretly, i will put only uprated poly bushes and uprated braking system on both micras. :)

i changed my mind now so i want these cars to be standard and working out with mpg too. :)

i got to wait until next year so we will see. :( I need to get my life back first. i just want to say something... this forum is so cool because its very useful info for those people who got micras. i was about to get another cars so when i found this forum so i was shocked. that is why i get micras :). Soon, I won't be here a lot so wish me luck people ( i need to qualify to become an accountant. :) )
 
I drove this car almost 27,000miles since feb 2012. Its about time to replace new parts soon.

Anyway.

Today, i spend my time to check around with these braking system, cv joints and under these arches. Some are ok and other are bad points. Please tell me about these pictures if they are good or bad. I will upload pictures soon. Thanks. :)
