» CMF MemberHi everyone
just a short post to introduce myself.
I have played with a number of cars in the past, most recently (read 5 years ago) a 308 VH Commodore, but also an N13 Exa, couple of Dattos, two other Commodores, Sigma, Scorpion, Mazda 1000 Ute, XD Falcon, RA40 Celica plus a few others that I have probably forgotten...
I have ended up through circumstance driving a manual k11 1.3 Lx Micra for the past 12 months - we traded my Commodore on a new car for my girlfriend so I ended up with her old Micra. So basically the car has grown on me to the point where I am planning to hang onto it long term.
So the Micra got graffitied on Wednesday night by some grub, which led to me putting in the elbow grease into cutting back the whole car - and you know what, it looks great. It seems car bug has bitten again and it is time to start playing.
The standard steering wheel has been replaced with an old SAAS number as a start, and a exhaust leak will force(ha ha!) me to replace the system with something sportier in the next couple of weeks. I was thinking of changing the air filter to a k&n style pod (most likely a cheap k&n rip off, but hey, Im on a budget!). If I can find some cheap wheels I will swap them - it looks like N14 SSS wheels might be a goer if I can find them. And I guess the suspension will need some lowering - but I am sure the angle grinder in the garage will have something to suggest about that ;-). Oh, and the thing needs a bloody window tint...
So yeah, thats where I am at, a standard daily driver at the moment, but a couple of run of the mill changes will make it stand out a little.
