MY little red celebration.

[davey1991]

And my secret hidden air horn button.

 

[hoopdub]

actually prefere them red, excellent choice fella

 

[will930]

awesome work on this fella! hope to see some more updates soon!

 

[davey1991]

I may have too make some hard decisions involving this car soon.
If anyone has a genuine interest in the car and wants too talk figures PM me.
I will not let this go too the first boyracer with £50 in hand.
This is my first car, i'm very very attached too it and i'm very apprehensive about letting her go.

 

[Sunburn]

love your micra! grats!

 

[davey1991]

Spacers now on the front.

Before

After.

Before

After.

Whoring.

Got some 20mm for the back but they are too wide, wheels way outta the arches.

 

[hoopdub]

its the little things that make the difference, looking good matey

 

[markbognor]

Indeed. Half a coil off the rear?

 

[euro_micra]

I'm liking it Davey. Mark might be right, half a coil off the back to match the front would work very well.

 

[templar2k5]

Love the wheels on this Micra (And the car!) Just where did you get them from, Davey?

 

[davey1991]

Frank made them for his car, he made himself some new ones and i bought these.
Very tempted too drop the rear more but the bump stops are already beckoning.
Really need some Corsa shocks and i need too get the axle sorted...

 

[markbognor]

Encourage the bump stops to be a bit shorter.

How did you space your rear out dude? I've heard that you need to use extended studs but I have no idea where to get mine That car's looking awesome anyway, it's the exact stance I want to achieve on mine.

There you go.
The wheels were made by Frank (He is a member on here.) They are standard steels but with the offset adjusted.

The rears aren't spaced but i know what you mean about extended studs.
I have some 20mm wheel spacers but they make the wheels just too wide.

Those are the extended studs you need, but you need 16 of them haha.
or 8 if your only doing the rear.
This is marks guide for fitting them. (Members only.)

MASSIVE thanks to you dude, I've been trying to find some everywhere! Only place I could find was kits in America which were something ridiculous like £130! You've made my day, haha.

 

[davey1991]

Ha ha, no problem at all.
More engine progress!

Yay high compression!

 

[davey1991]

Finally got this sorted...

Which means i have my panhard rod attached again and franks bushes on finally, so much less wavey!

 

[wehey]

Great work!!
Is the engine your rebuilding a 1.0l ??

 

[davey1991]

1.0 with 1.3 rods and crank for high compression, so basically a more powerful 1.3

 

[VitzJoe]

[frank]

Well no suprisingly... Running on 3 and you can hear bits smashing around the engine

oooh ! i suspected something like when my original 1.0 started smokin bad when i de-revlimited and held it flat in 2nd, the oil control rings were gummed solid and the excess rpm shoved them further into the ring grooves lol.
maybe a bent rod like mine ?

 

[davey1991]

i shall have too have a look see, new engine is on high priority now though.

 

[euro_micra]

oh dear, which engine was this davey? original 1.0 or your high comp 1.3?

 

[davey1991]

1.0 thank god so now the 1.3 gets too go in ready for japfest.

 

[davey1991]

Slowly dragging her back too life. Need too get the broken engine out and have an inspect should be sorted for japfest. sad sad sight.

 

[davey1991]

Drained the oil. It was crispy too say the least, not looking forward too the internal inspection.
