Developed a knocking noise at the front, sounds like it's coming from the suspension so there's a job for the weekend
 
Well it's not the suspension that's knocking so I'm going to have investigate further tomorrow

Finally got round to swapping my cg injectors for my ga15 ones, well I almost did got three out but the fourth ones retaining screws were made out of play dough so that's yet another job for tomorrow (when I can borrow a friends maul grips)

The only thing I did manage to do was get wet and skin a knuckle grr
 
Yeah keeping her like Shaun said it saves hassle that and I've got loads of stuff to still put on/in
 
Glad to hear your keeping it (Y)

Weather Is an excuse guys, I've done all mine in the snow :) wrap up warm and in you go

Are you still going turbo mate?

I too always find in most situations when unscrewing something that there's always One! bloomin screw/nut/bolt that puts up a fight. lots of patience, wd40, heat and progressive attempts helps before cracking & resorting to utter bruteforce vengeance :laugh:
 
Ha ha "ooh suits you sir" lol

Mate I'm with ya on sorting life out, good things come to those who wait :)

Good luck with the baby mate, is it your first??

Cheers
 
@frank
Come on all injectors should be bright colours makes the engine bay friendly

@Martin
Yeah it's my first, really need to find a bigger place
 
Cause I'm still living at my mums and all the rooms are taken.... That and I really want a drive and or garage
 
Well it's been settled and I have no choice but to sell the car :down: :down:

So the car now has to be put back to standard if anyone has some spare injectors they don't need let me know please

Also I won't be selling any of my parts as I still have plans I want to follow through I'm just going to have to do them at a later date

afraid not shaun i'll have the car for another 3 months then my sister is having it off me, after that i'll be car sharing with the missus in her *cough* yaris *cough* but like i said i still have my k10 so i won't be leaving the micra world completely
 
Well I've got some good news and some bad news

Bad news first I'm not selling the car I'm giving it away yes that's right just giving it away, so at the end of the month all going well I'll no longer have the car








The good news is I'm giving it to my sister on the agreement that if/when she gets posted anywhere (she's in the army) I get it back :grinning:
 
Some more good news after talking with my sister (to cut a story short) she doesn't want me to put the car back to standard :grinning: she's happy with the way it is..... Sooo..... I can continue with my plans :grinning: albeit a little slower than it already is
 
For god sake things just ain't working out for me grr have no choice but to sell up :down: so almost everything is up for sale will be keeping hold of suspension and nismo spoiler cause you never know
 
Hi Karlj
I'm also thinking put the same coilovers on my micra that you put , could you help me make the changes you made in the rear shocks and springs which they have laid him.
Thanks

Where about are you? I'm sure there will be someone local willing to help.
Edit: maybe start a new thread about it so as not to jack Karl's thread
 
Sorry to hear this mate :( we got time for a meet before the end? Seems stupid we haven't yet seeing as your only up the motorway
 
Begger I've now joined the "window off the rails" club grr which a real kick in the teeth seeing as I've taken a deposit on the car
 
it'll stay if you bonded it back within the clips

Well it's been a fun little car... but it is no longer mine :down: thank you to everyone that showed an interest in her
