very nice. Love the whiteline gear. I have to get some for mine soon

 

[CMF_littlebear]

Now I call that dedication - swapping out the suspension on the road side!

"Now I call that dedication - swapping out the suspension on the road side!

Oh yes! I do all my work out there No where else to do it! I was covered in mud by the time i was finished!

 

[CMF_funky2nite]

Is It super difficult to change those suspensions mate? I've got nowhere to do that mod , it's either in the roadside like you did, or at my friend's garage.

I'm not much into technical, but is it impossible to do if you haven't ever removed a suspension b4? any particular tools?

 

[CMF_funky2nite]

btw debadging what do I need to do it? apart from slicing it the central part & getting a grille. Does the grille screw itself in the plastic?

 

[CMF_moddedmicra]

No suspension is not too difficult, you will need spring compressors for the front thats about it in the way of special tools, Mine is a nismo grille so i didnt chop it up at al.

 

[CMF_moddedmicra]

New headunit fitted:

Its awesome! It now connects to my phone as soon as I switch on ignition and mutes music when i get a phone call, also has a built in mik so i can just talk away lol

And began making a false floor, which hinges on the original seat mounts:

 

[CMF_deNs]

Heh that looks a lot like mine, but I made my vertical piece behind the seat come up a fair way above the floor so stuff doesn't fly forward from the boot Looking good though.

How it looked on its new coilovers last week:

How it looked on thursday:

 

[CMF_Walker]

ouch

 

[smidge]

oh **** dude thats horrible....

was thinking how good this thread was and all the work you put into it

it crosses your mind every now and then when you spend so much time doing this stuff how easily it can end!

hopefully you're alright and not hurt that looks like a nasty hit

 

[CMF_Pierce]

damn man, i was like 'nice' all the way down and then almost had a heart attack when i saw the crash pics. well with all the work you had done, you had full comp insurance right? either way, it doesnt look a total write off... maybe you can rebuild it?

 

[CMF_littlebear]

Man that sucks. What led to that happening mate? Looks like a write off to me.

How much do you want for the LED tail lights?

 

[CMF_Micra_King]

What a real shame. That back end of the MG? Rover? must be built like a tank as it look hardly damaged.

 

[smidge]

i'd say it'd be a writeoff money wise, not worth fixing surely

funny thing is my k11 micra blog on the uk site follows a similar pattern

****loads of work and then a photo of it sitting in a grass ditch

oh well

 

[CMF_moddedmicra]

Yer it is deffo a write off, the engine came through and pushed the dash out. LED rears are sold.
I missed a temp traffic light sign and came round the corner and... yer you can imagine the rest.

You can find info on this here:
http://www.micra.com.au/second-nissan-micra.php

You will need to glue the grillmesh to the inside of the grill. Or glue a few sticks of flexible but nicely thick steelwire that you can use to hold the grillmesh inplace(this way its easy as shoelaces to fit new grillmesh once in a while without haveing to redo the glueing part..
