Hello everyone.
I've been lurking about getting ideas and hints since i bought my Micra a few months back, so thought I ought to say hi!
I'm Steve and live in the New Forest, and I'm the happy owner of an Rreg '96 k11 preface lift 5dr in SLX trim.
She's metallic dark green with 46k genuine miles and two past owners.
Bought as a runabout to replace our aging 0.9cc Daihatsu Coure runabout which is now over 100k!
Already also owning a s14 200sx (project stalled as our house purchase got in way) and previously owing a p11-144 Primera and Sunny a micra seemed a logical sensible daily.
Having now owned 8 cars 50% have been Nissans!
So far in my ownership,
MOT.
Full service, all fluids+ plugs+ filters
Universal roof bars for my cycle carrier.
Toyo nano energy tyres to replace ancient and worn set
Aero wiperblades and +100% halogen bulbs for night driving.
Both rear lights replaced due to cracks with updated lights from a facelift version, all red apart from indicators and reverse/fog. Had to rewire the bulb holders.
Clear side repeaters, tried almera ones but wouldn't fit bodywork so got round ones off eBay.. Still didn't fit as connectors were wrong, but firpms with a dremel!
And a dammed good clean, bilt hamber claybar and autoglym products.. Not bad now, some minor cosmetic marks and a cracked rear bumper corner, otherwise presentable for age.
Plans.. (Really shouldn't but I can't help but tinker)..
Have sourced a wrap around rear spoiler, but cracked when removed from donor vehicle
Splitter, not sure what yet.
Very tempted to go down the alto springs route.. But need convincing, 30mm springs dont seem quite low enough.
Wheels. Probably almera 14's as i'm after quite a subtle look.
Mild induction/exhaust mods as engine does seem strangled at higher rpms and the factory exhaust rear/centre sections are nearly ready to fall off (advisory last 3mots).
If I can I'll put up a few pic's of my lil'k11 for your approval.
Steven.
