Hi all !
Just a very quick hello and intro. And merry christmas to you all, and a safe new year.
I´ve just bought my first Micra. We have a Primera P11, that has served us very well quite some time, but because of my new job, we needed a car no.2. Now the Primera has been an exceedingly good car to drive and own. Back in the nineties I had a Nissan Almera 1.6 SR, and as a kid my parents had Nissan Sunny wagon and after that a Nissan Bluebird. And the Nissans in our family has always just worked. Never been anything with them, but utter reliability. So when the need for a second car arose, I already knew what to look for. It was to be cheap as possible, but also reliable, so offcourse the answer was..... Nissan Micra K11. Also found one (Micra 1.0 LX 1993), pretty cheap, not in mint condition, but mechanically sound, not much rust, brakes and exhaust less than a year old, and low mileage (113000 Km, and it´s a 1993 model !). Stands (as far as I can tell) buck standard, and that is fine, since it´s purpose is car no.2 scoot-around and get-to-work-and-back.
Having owned and driven it for a couple of weeks (Wife drives the Prim, since it got ABS, airbags and what-not. I drive the little scoot, without any modern safety doo-hickeys, or electric niceties), I´m allready grown very fond of the little Micra. And to show the little one, that I appreciate it, I´m starting to plan some minor mods. Starting off with changing the dash-lighting (will try some SMD´s this time, LED´s worked nice in the prim, but hope SMD´s work even better). Also want a better steering wheel, gearknob and maybe pedals. Also ordered a set of Nightbreakers for the headlights. And then I want to get some fog-lights installed. That´s the plan so far. SMD´s and Nightbreakers in the mail, as we speak.
That was a short intro, now to make a little inquiry another place in the forum.
Cheers all !
Ps. I´m from Denmark, writes english as good as I can, but surely not perfect. But you´ll probably get the meaning, of what I try to "say".
