Is it because there's a filter where the battery should be?

Pretty Sure those dials are custom made ones, cant remember who used to make em though

 

[Madmonkee]

Question: The genuine x3 piece nismo exhaust I have just acquired is only 2" external diameter...I'm guessing I'm going to choke the SR with that? The exhaust is lush tho!

Managed to get the back box on, going to need a custom centre section still Hotshots headers are about 2" too long to fit onto the nismo centre section. Headers into decat pipe, standard micra middle section cutoff and shoved into the backbox... sounds fun tho lol

Like them clocks might make some of them sometime.

 

[Wagoneer]

I'm about to make some custom clocks for mine, if anyone's interested I can make a few more do your specifications.

A set of white, red, and yellow please. 52 plate facelift with tacho and leccy mileometer.
You know what I mean, that's 3 complete sets. What you gonna make em with ? I just stick them on with my denture glue

 

[Wagoneer]

Don't get too excited, haven't worked out quite how to do it yet. I'll need to source an original fascia to create new artwork from unless you can send me yours? I am a graphics artist though and do vinyl and display graphics though so I think these will be relatively easy to make on acrylic sheet, self adhesive too so no Copydex required!

 

[Madmonkee]

If my old ones had a rev gauge you could have them

[Wagoneer]

That's very kind Madmonkee. Rather than steal any more of this thread, I'll get myself together and do a thread just for dials.

 

[Magpie42]

I'd like them in teak-effect....grandaddy style

I went to my local plastics store today and had a look at what they had, polyester sheets in various colours look to be a good option, and easy to work with. Stick on with dentofix of course, never sets, so, when you fancy a change, just peel off - simples .. I think.
You could probably make 5 or 6 sets from one sheet = £14.

 

[Madmonkee]

Finally a side shot, exhaust isnt like this any more it sits perfect.

Sounds alright what is that squeaking ?

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

 

[Madmonkee]

Over tightened alternator belt... couldnt check the torque as its too close the the rail. As im told, if you can twist it to just under halfway, thats enough.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

 

[Madmonkee]

Still squeeks, only on idle tho? Anyhow, arches rolled on the rear, fitted some driving/fog lights

I need to see it from a distance to decide if I like or not lol

Squeek fixed, as suspected, over tightened the Alt belt.. school boy error.
