Max'd Out Micra - My story

[MaxK11C]

Hello everyone, as you well know I've been here a few weeks looking for advice etc, and decided to stay, because I love you all. <3
On to the good stuff. I got a phone call at 8 am this morning saying "We're going to look at a Micra, got a good feeling about this" From my dad. Off we go, end up loving it, and BUYING IT. This is my first car, and can't wait to start on it. I only got a few photo's outside the dealer's place, I'll get some better photo's when it gets delivered at my dads place. A few shots:

First thing to do when she's delivered, give her a damn good clean, she's filthy! In the mean time, I need to think of a name.... suggestions anyone?

 

[McMicra]

No idea for a name but looks in decent nick, try get it up on a ramp or lift and have a look at the front cross member and the underside for rust

Yeah, will do . Thank you very much.

 

[McMicra]

NP paint looks good n clean and from what i can see no rust bubbles on the wings and archs

 

[MicrAde]

Nice one matey, welcome aboard. Looks quite a tidy motor and I'm sure you'll enjoy it As for the name thing I cant help you I'm afraid. Apologies to anybody that HAS named their car but to me its a bit 'girly'

The peanut butter is full of handy oils...that return the black shine to dull plastics
...I'd reccomend smooth over the crunchy veriety too LOL

[Elonexx]

Thank you so much! Now got to divide my cash Car:Girlfriend 50:50... or maybe 80:20 Thanks for the tip, might have to try that, screw Halfords, I need to go to Tesco

 

[Jen319]

...screw Halfords, I need to go to Tesco

Aldi or lidl's own brand = probably cheaper and better LOL

 

[Elonexx]

you'll spend more money on the car,
i'm trying to save,
i've never bought anything for my bike, but keep buying things i don't really need for Lec XD

 

[Elonexx]

Asdas own was my choice for butterpolish XD

 

[Jen319]

Asda's or Morrison's, "smart price" or "essentials"...I just can't stand Tesco's ^_^

 

[Elonexx]

i had smooth in the cupboard that no one was eating, (my sister got it, i said crunchy )
so it was put to good use

 

[MicrAde]

Sunpat...only the best for my plastics

 

[Jen319]

Do they make Organic, Free range, fair trade peanut butter?... if not..corner the market there!

 

[Elonexx]

you must be upper class :')

 

[Elonexx]

on another note Max,

I need an s-chassis when i can afford the insurance XD

 

[McMicra]

The S14 was 4.5K. I mentioned several times that the 200SX would be better for me, buuuut my dad wasn't having it

 

[Elonexx]

s14

I'm a sucker for 90's japanese cars, i will have one, one day

 

[McMicra]

Thats a 2001 registered car, and the S14 stopped production in 2000 =/ :L

 

[MaxK11C]

s14

S14A
Yeah, me too. Wanna know the best thing? She was an auto, converted into a manual so you know it hasn't been ragged!

 

[Elonexx]

[McMicra]

Ya second glance i see its s14,

Im more a toyota/honda person myself when it comes to bigger more powerful cars

 

[Elonexx]

seems expensive though,
i'm looking for an ec/ed/ee/ef civic until insurance is reasonable

 

[Elonexx]

S14A

S14 Kouki

There's a '51 plate S14A around the corner from my step mum's old place in Chesham!

Lol if you want cheap insurance stay away from hondas in general :L

Toyota Corolla 1.4 vvti 2001 reg is a good shout, mate had one was fairly nippy and was soo light, light a go kart

 

[Belly93]

S14a a lad i went to college bought an auto and did a manual conversion for drifting,
nice micra

 

[Harlen]

On topic: I reckon you should colour code the faded-gray platic detailing in gloss dark grey!

[MaxK11C]

Ok, enough with the peanut butter fetishism Elonexx ^^

 

[Elonexx]

I thought people were taking the mick so I sneakily tried it, i was amazed

 

[MaxK11C]

Yeah, I was sceptical, but I trust you! Anyone know the exact colour name/code of my car? Can't find it :/

 

[Belly93]

thee paint code is on the small plate above the drivers side strut top mate

 

[Harlen]

With peanut butter? XD

[Belly93]

[Elonexx]
