Looking good! This has to be one of the most individual looking Micras out there. Keep up the good work
Thanks huggy yeah they will be just wanted to get the right height first and re-align the panhard rod... Not driving it like this...They are lovely!
Arches going to be rolled soon?
Thank-you! still needs some body work xxSuits the car really well Chloe!
I wish I had shoes that nice yes it is a bit :L however I have upped the preload a tad so far so good there's about 2mm between wheel and arch :/ will see how it goes if not I'll Jack it up a bit xx
You'd know all about the stanced life would you?But it looks so good at the moment!
You'll learn to love the stanced life, what with being scared to drive your car over pebbles
Pebbles.... I'm scared to drive over leaves :L it would stay like that if the roads hear were remotely flat :L it's not even slightly worth it... But she'll still be slightly "stanced" xxBut it looks so good at the moment!

I'm OK... Would have been lost without Tom ... Still abit shook up but tom ran me a bath and did a Ben and Jerry's run he's to good to meWow.
Glad you got out of that ok, could have been a lot worse!
So it was the coilover itself that failed? That's awful

Yes it was luckily when it snapped it slipped inside the spring cup not the other side and I think going up the bank just knock it through the hole so fingers crossed all Is OK ...My alloy looks OK can't see any visible damage just hope its not buckled it
Re-attached the back bumper
From what I can see underside looks OK x
Thanks Karl xHoly ####... glad you're ok
Oooo bless very much appreciated please send her my love back xxHannah sends her love too
Thank-you Paul I have eaten my body weight in ice creamholy crappa chloe that's a really serious suspension failure.
sending u lots of hugs n icecream.
jeez christ I'd need new pants if mine did that, thank gawd ur safe.
seriously before venturing out again, it's essential we find what exactly caused this major failure. whether it's a manufacture and/or design error or if that broken stop has been modified before. contact andy bout it, twas from him yea?
can't see clearly enough but it appears to be fatigued from the weld. the thickness maybe insufficient and the design of welding a round bush collar with a small weld footprint under the strut mount with little bracing plus applying huge stress of supporting the cars weight is asking for trouble.
imo I'd at least get that critical area where the collar joins the strut reinforced with bracing plates front & rear to stop any fatigue flexing.
I didn't have to roll the rears all that much really so not much pressure was put through only on the inner lip of the arch....there,s no angled "give" in the nylon bush maybe ? especially if archrolled against
Thank-you Paul I have eaten my body weight in ice cream
I shan't be using the same rears again... Spoke too Andy he's sending the corsa rear set up out tomorrow for me...
Very very nearly needed new pants
God oll St Christopers in the car, did it's job x
Good call!
I'm sure they will be
Once again Paul.... You have me in stitches :L xx
