Paul a couple of questions for you... (and others with similar setups)
When you changed your rear trailing arms to adjustable ones, did you notice an improvement in handling?
What do you adjust on the arms, and how did you 'set them up' ?
Currently do some work on the back of our Micra and pondering fitting them, current set up is standard with uprated bushes but these are all done a lot of work...
Another question Paul if I may, did you set this with the rear suspension loaded or unloaded?
yup I'll do thatI added a 3rd brake light like yours and just stuck it on the outside under the rear spoiler, works fine.
the next major squeaking/clunk to sort out is the sloppy steering rack mount
I spent ages chasing a clonk under acell/breaking... Found it to be the back of the central engine support brace where it mounts to the chassis (kind of under the gear stick). Drove me mad!

Ah, moms can work wonders to protect their babies (of all ages). They might want to murder you, at the same time.drove out of town to take a night pic of the new lights with the brakes OFF

with the car still running, lights on and brakes on, I went to open the door and OH Crap it's locked! ?? NOOooo
I forget that whenever the car's left running, doors are closed and the brakes or indicators are used, the alarm will automatically lock the doors as an Anti Hijack feature, which is more annoying than useful ?
1st time I've ever locked myself out, dafuq I do now? almost considered smashing my window to get in but decided to call home and ask parents to grab my spare keys and try bring em over to the remote countryside. so here I am waiting forever in the freezing cold to be rescued

amazed that mom found me out here by herself considering there were loads of confusing roadwork diversions in town, she's never driven out of town by herself and through the dark countryside ?
finally got back home feeling silly ?

Insuring this car is a friggin joke ?
adrian flux emailed me the renewel on 1/3/21 quoting £436 to begin on 19/3/21.
bare in mind I havent updated my mods for the past yr so that price is assuming it's still turboed.
on 15/3/21 I thought I'd phone Adrian to update my spec list including that it's now N/A, no LSD and has a GPS alarm etc in hopes of lowering the premium.
after giving all the info they came back with same £436 quote, dafuq? considering the car's no longer turboed, I'm near 40yr with lots NCB, I was expecting £250-350 ?
ok, I said I'll get back to em about whether to renew on 19th cos I'm also waiting for a call from Sky for a (hopefully cheaper) quote,
only to be told by Adrian that ohh they've already taken the payment automatically 1wk before policy restarts...WHAT? ?
FFS. Sky also took forever to get through so I had to settle with Adrian for another fckin yr ?
Need to set a huge reminder next year that once I get the renewal email I should shop around IMMEDIATELY! ?
things getting more & more expensive to run ?I've just been quoted €580, that's £480 or so, here in the Emerald Isle for a bog standard 2003 1 Litre K12. Which is 50 bucks more that last year for my 2002 K11. And I probably drove only 500 miles or so in the last year. I'm a bit older than you as well, they say not many companies want to insure older cars here. That's all on top of €200 road tax a year. Drat. I must say though, taking the funds from your account in advance without as much as a by-your-leave is out of order.
I paid about £1200 this year.
My first year of driving. Damn I need to grow up. Hopefully a year with no claims will reduce the cost next year.
Do you run an anti roll bar on either front or back? I can't see one on the front in your pictures and would usually search a thread but yours is 192 pages now!
Many thanks
