Micra_Tom's Blog

[micra_tom]

Hello again everyone! Some of you may remember me, I was on here religiously, every night, for about a year. Then I started university and my loyalties went else where (damn education)...so I thought I would start a new blog, considering i am now off university until September

**I FINALY FOUND A PICTURE OF HOW SHE LOOKED WHEN I FIRST GOT HER!** :

I then set about making some changes....so far the only major changes are:
-Fitting Super S bumpers off an Import Micra

-Fitting a larger Induction Kit

-Made my own Open mouth grill and fitted it

The above picture pretty much shows you how she stands right now as well...

Here is one of my favourite photos of her (excuse the amateur photography lol) :

And here are my plans for her (with a little photoshop to kinda give you the idea). As i mention in the picture the plans are in no particular order, but i do hope to get them all done

So as always lads & Ladies...any comments/advice/CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always welcome, and i can guarantee you will be seeing me a lot more from now on, so get used to my ugly mug being around lol...

Tom

** MINOR UPDATE! **

Been looking after my cousins place for the past 2 weeks, so i haven't had a chance to do anything to the Micra...except get a new tire fitted...Im going to be going home tonight though, so hopefully during the week I will be taking my headlights out and tinting them...Pictures will of course follow, But for now here is the Micra getting some new rubber

 

[micra_tom]

Let there be light!

Well some of you may have seen my post in the "aesthetics" section about investing in some new lighting.

Well here is phase one, New number plate lights. They look brilliant so far (Literally only just put them in so haven't tested them at night) So ill let you know what they are like later tonight, but until then here are some pics as always!

1 BULB IN :

BOTH BULBS IN:

Ill post a pic of them at night later guys...If it all comes to plan it should look pretty good...If not, then we can all put it down to experience (only a fiver down the pan on the bulbs!)

 

[micra_tom]

Well here is a picture of the new lights in the dark.. Im really happy with the look... Opinions?

 

[Scouse boy]

love it mate! keep up the good work... p.s Ben has my car now

 

[EBBdude]

Like you project here Micra Tom
Good reading and some stuff makes me curious :

-The mentioned "splitter" from Laguna / Espace is that a bolt on thingy direct from that car or if not what mods are needed ?

-"coloured hoses in engine bay " ,,,, is there a set one can buy for all of them ?

thanks

 

[sleeper_ss]

lights suit it well
good going!

 

[MrMigs08]

Yeah lights looking brilliant, would love to be chasing that in the dark ! xD.

-"The mentioned "splitter" from Laguna / Espace is that a bolt on thingy direct from that car or if not what mods are needed" ?

plan sounds like epic win! ive got a laguna splitter and a black vinyl roof on my micra if you want to have a gander at one on....

 

[micra_tom]

Thanks for your comments everyone :grinning:

EBBdude: The splitter can be fitted on with self tapping screws and tiger seal to my knowledge...But those splitters are like rocking horse poo around my area, you cant find them any where. you can get them on ebay though for about £20/£30 (they will require some cutting though I believe)..There is also a user on here "matt", He runs a micra sports parts business, they offers LOADS of tuning parts for the micra, and he does offer a set of hoses for the engine bay.

sleeper_ss: RED MICRAS FTW! There are so many of us, no one will dear argue lol

R_REG_SR & MrMigs08: Thanks for the positive comments, Im really happy with how it is coming along, even if it is VERY slow. One of my friends actually commented on how nice the rear looks with the lights the other night. Such a cheap easy mod. I recommend it!

Louismop1: Yeah it would be the most epic of epic wins, I just cant find one anywhere, and I refuse to pay £20ish for one of Ebay, when I know they only cost around £5 from a scrappy. and I am now on route to your blog!
