thanks people, reluctant to spend 25 quid from halfords on mesh but i need it and cant think except ebay where would do it??
that silver ducting you may be able to see is remains of a ripspeed cold air duct!
gonna replace with the black thicker ducting asap
that direct cold air feed is the original piping cut up and pushed into the bonnet,
i might do a diy on one soon

nope cars on mph 50mm lowering springs all round,standard shock feels great,handles like to my brothers lil mini, infact id be confident to say it handles almost perfectly, no body roll,no understeer (as of yet) but then i havent pushed it yet
after driving for about an hour today there was a knocking noise coming from the front right wheel/footwell
it kept getting louder.....
pulled over and couldnt find anything wrong until i noticed the car wheel nuts,they were all lose!!!!
got my trustey draper socket out which i always keep with me and tightened them as much as i could, i'll remeber to do them up tighter next time i fit alloys!
pulled away, all fine now,
could ahve been worse but ........
cheers guys,its like winning the lottery......
without the money
got to get to some meets and shows now!

sorry no photos havent has a chance today been so busy, went to halfords this morning to swap over locking nuts, fitted them, then fitted clear repeaters
then went to a car audio shop and got an alarm and spent most of the day wiring all that up, alarms wicked so ####ing loud!!
insurance fell through with admirall,they couldnt find my quote at 620 etc and best they could offer was 1300 no mods,tried sky,flux,direct line absolutely everybody
infact i came home after my test and spent almost 3 hours on comparison sites and the phone
in the end i got it at grand with exhaust and wheels declared, only tpf&t no point being fully comp when my excess is over 500 anyway!
going to brothers tommorow and theres some good photo points so will take some there for definate
since fitting my mountey steering wheel my indicators now dont cancel themselves which is bit annoying!! any suggestions please?(Y)
mine havent canceld for over a year now and it use to get on my ***'s but to be perfectly once i got used to it i prefer it now, My horn also doesnt work though which is paint in the ass so ive got a little button by the ignition barrel to operate it!
But yeah youll get used to it, otherwise i would guess you will have to change your boss!

door handles will happen this week,weather just needs to hold out as dont fancy spraying in the rain, want a bad boy bonnet just cant afford that at the mo.
sr20 or na tuned or turbo, cannot make up my mind!! if money wasnt an issue it would be the sr20de turbo as that would be mental,but cars daily driver and i dont have the time for it too be up on jacks for months
turbo could all be fitted in weekend and then just a re-map
however the thought of an s14 is tempting me, until i saw the insurance
3487 tpf&t no mods declared!!! dont think i be doing that then.
listen on a serious note do you guys get funny looks in the micra?
people dont often see micras lowered etc as they are known as granny cars, just wondered what peoples perceptions are of it?
cheers all

i got this punto boy the other day, blacked out rears,alpine sticker across window lexus lights, you get the picture.....
both pulled out of halfords,past macdonalds and sat at two lane traffic lights,him and his mate looked and laughed at the the car,fair enough i thought it is after all a micra and a granny car
i just sat there wondering whether the time and effort put into the car had all been worth it(should i have got a corsa i thought?),
Lights changed and he shot off, i contemplated it for a second and thought,...#### it, i'll wipe the "why bother its just a micra" expression off his face.
foot was planted, slammed into 2nd on redline, im gaining on him fast,going straight towards him, it was more than just to prove a point know, he had annoyed me with his halfords dressed punto. I moved out into centre of road, into third, flew past him, pulled in front of him and stuck my hazards on, just to say thanks...
i came to the next set of lights and up came the punto, i looked over the smile had drained from there faces, they stared at it, what were they thinking i thought??
"what the ####?" one said
granny car i thought to myself......yeah like #### it is
anyways did full service today
bosch super four 4 plugs 20 quid halfords
champion oil filter
mobil super s 10w 40w(for high performance engines it said)plus it matchs my car name
runs so much better, honestly feels new,quiter on idle,starts perfectly (i guess like any car after its service!?
here what i got,these are just pics from google so no part number references
these were taken just after i wash and dryed with chamios leather
off my nikon d40
notice my temporary cold air intake until i move my filter off the the tb!
cheers all
ooh by the way its my bday on tuesday,if i get enough i will get 2nd hand janspeed manifold,cant wait!
