Napster's SR MICRA

[Napster]

car failed MOT :down: but after abit of scrap yard searching....the new / old parts where on and then she passed

been with out my car for a while :down: which has been annoying but im just glad she is back!!!!

 

[Ems]

Flippen eck!! Don't you ever do that again!! Waaaaay more dangerous than axel stands. Pallets are designed to take a lot of weight when it's distributed out evenly, not all in one place!! Next time, use builders grey blocks if you have to use soomething else, and leave the jack in just in case.

What did it fail on?

sorry to have worried you Ems!!!!!!!

i trust the pallets more than the nissan jack and axle stands and i needed the car pretty high off the floor....ive used this before. the pallets can with stand a weight of up to "1.5 tonnes" and my micra weighing about "850kg".......so.......im confident.

emissions it failed on, but after some new parts, time (days :down: ), money its all fixed!!

 

[Ems]

Yeah they can withstand 1.5 tonnes when the weights even on the whole pallet. Not in one place!!

ok.....im sorry!!!!!!! :down:

....we / i have these massive wooden blocks.......ill use / try them out next time with axle stands, as we wont have pallets soon.........good news to you i guess lol!!!

 

[Ems]

Your mad!!!

 

[Napster]

Your mad!!!

thanks..... :down: lol

cheers for trusting me!! i cant apologies enough.....althought i shouldnt be lol!!!!

splitter has taken a pause as mot took priority so tomorrow i shall do some more!!!!

 

[Ems]

No need to apologise or get upset. Just worried about your safety!! Being squished by a good looking car isn't good!

 

[Arnold]

Get yourself a decent jack & stands from Halfords / argos. You normally get them cheaper if you buy both together, and you know it aint gonna squish you! They'l hold alot more weight than pallets will!!

well thanks for the concern!!!!!

doesnt really help the cars nealry touching the floor being lowered.... so if it did drop....... :ghostface althought i dont thinki it would of lol..........otherwise i wouldnt have done it!!!!

just wasnt in the mood to be worrying about it falling while working under there , but if u reckon it was a bad move, then i wont do it!!!!

cheers

[Napster]

just want to say "thanks" to "Goldstar" for the "black SR fog lights"!!!

they arrived earlier and just fitted them!!!

next are the headlights black!!! just wondered.....the sr has "headlight adjuster's" which im wondering are they interchangable on all models if i got some 1.0L headlights!!!!??

 

[NeX]

looking good mate

i sprayed the little plastic bits down the side black too

does that mean you have some lights spare?

oooh and a MK2 grill? lol

 

[Robert]

What happened to the splitter you were working on?

 

[Napster]

Cheers Nex......i was thinking bout the silver clips and spraying them black!!!!?

im not sellling the spare fogs or my grill lol....sorry!!!!

robert......the splitter is still in progress!!! was doing some 2day in the sun as they fibre glass sets quicker lol. had the sander out as well! its looking rather bad but i think the idea is good!!!!

naps

 

[goldstar0011]

[Napster]

WELL A BIG "THANKYOU" TO "JIMMY AND HIS BROTHER" FOR THE GAUGE POD HOLDER!!!! CHEERS GUYS!!!

will be getting the gauges soon!!! yes this is for the passanger side piller, but im making it for drivers!!!

more pics soon hopefully of progress (not trying to keep anybody happy: James lol)!!!

 

[Nis]

Me??? lol it's not my fault your lazy

Pod looks good, hope you can adapt it ok for the drivers side, what gauges are you having and what make?

James.

James.

very true mate, but seeing progress on your BLUE BEAST makes me feel like i should be doing more lol......so technically.....your fault!!!! no im joking...once again....lol!!!!! keep up ur work!!!!

should be ok to adapt when i have a spare A piller??
i dont know how to say this, but can i maybe ask for your help James in the wiring?? thats if you did yours and know how to fit them?

im just getting a volt metter and water temp!!!! nothing special, just really want interior looking better!! and think gauges will be really cool!!!

i just wish i was buying a "boost gauge" lol!!!

 

[Nis]

Hmm, have you bought them yet? If not I would suggest going for a Autometer Gauge as they are very good and there not too pricey. I have the Ultra-Lite's which are nice and clear and easy to read, although they do some funky stuff now, check their site...check the tacky video lol, the green NV's or the C2 blue's look awesome... http://www.autometer.com/media_popup.aspx?type=commercial&id=3

I'll help you wire them in, they are dead easy, childs play

James.

 

[Napster]

Thank you for the link....yeah.....cheesy video lol, but hey...advertisement!!

thanks for helping me when they arrive dude!!! will probably need it lol!!! childs play...yeah right!!!! although im good with electronics!!!!

no havent brought any yet....nearly purchased some ones earlier i liked.....but im after a dark (black) face dial with a green light preferably!!!??

thanks again

 

[Nis]

It's easy trust me thats why I thought you might like the 'NV' range, they glow green

Fount these - http://www.autometer.com/demos/nexus/ they are so lush!! a bit pricey though

James.

 

[Napster]

thanks for the thought of NV range....i looked at them....there nice

and the "nexus" ones!!!!!! very nice!!!!

 

[Napster]

[Napster]

cheers Nex!!!!!

just made the tweeter hole in the piller!!!!! should look pretty cool when done i hope imo!!!

2morrow should have it finished!!! then just waiting on the gauges and a guide *cough* James *cough* lol....altough i should be capable....just helps always best lol!!!

 

[Napster]

had a little spare time so fibreglassed the pod onto the piller :blush:
its really funny how it looks a mess lol, but once sanded down and primer'd up....looks fine (in some cases)!!!!!

wont have any more mods or updates for a week im afraid....off on holiday !!!!

naps

 

[Napster]

back from holiday now!

let the modifications begin lol!!!!
did abit more to the gauge piller today! filler'd up the other side as there was a big gap from the custom job ive had to do to make it fit!!! so its coming along nicely!!

i was going to fibre glass the 2nd pod on aswell but realised i need the gauges here first as it will be tricky fitting the bottom gauge in i believe as not alot of room so im leaving it untill i have gauges!!!

any recommendations for gauges? want the dial colour green with black face preferably

 

[Nis]

*cough* Autometer NV *cough*

[Robert]

You can import them from America via ebay too, for around $60 per gauge.

no not yet im afraid mate :doh:
all my available time has been concentrated on all of my jobs and weeknds havent exactly been realxing / chillout times but im not complaining.
