go to the bottom of the page

Just because the wire isn't showing it doesn't mean the tyres will last long

Wow thats bad! There still inflated tho

that looks more like tracking than camber scott, and you,re not down to the wear markers yet eh

Does it? Need to get it done asap! Ive not had it done since i fitted the setup a couple months ago . Its defiantly running negative camber to which isnt helping matters

Too much toe out it looks fimilar to mine. Lol had mine set to 0degrees 20" N. Now I'm going to set them to parallel when I put bandeds back on.

Cat wait to see the bandeds back on . I might go put some toe in onto it now until i can go get it done. Im going to ask Greg if i can borrow the dunlop gauges from college... bet they say no

Thanks . I do like the look of your k10 banded steels hmmm...

 

[GazzaMicra]

They are nice alright... Cheap too

 

[Scott.c]

No updates just polished it and it was looking shiny so i took some photos...

Engine bay needs a real good clean! Whats the best way to do it? Cover up the distributor, alternator and fuse boxes and pressure wash it on a low pressure setting?

 

[mazza]

All I do is spray the crap out of it with truck wash fluid... leave it for a bit, then use our big pressure washer with lots of heat and blast the bejeesus out of it...no covering of anything, just dont go mad around electrical components....

Cool.

Black wheel trim treatment could look good in the short term - particularly with the black rubbing strips on the sides and bumpers.

These hub caps remind me of cav slabs hint hint

Sounds like a plan or maybe painting the steels but they are different front to rear :/

I dont have a job atm but ive got my eyes on some rota bm8's in the future . Should give some nice poke but there 15's, be like a koolstyle micra

 

[markbognor]

I cant seem to find any pics of mine when it had the black trims on it. It received quite a few comments that it looked pretty good though. Yeah, you've got K10 steels on the front or something haven't you.

I will do that for the time being then . Yeah k10 steels on the front for some strange reason, pretty sure its been involved in a crash once

 

[Scott.c]

Got a job today so i should be able to start getting some mods done once insurance is paid
First on the list is alloys i think or wheels of some sort

 

[Scott.c]

Getting insured next friday and my first solo drive for 11 months all the way to Andover 120 miles... cant wait . Then i got tax in a month and mot in 2 months and im gonna need 2 new tyres and tracking done, didn't realise cars were so expensive

 

[Scott.c]

Lucky I work in a tyre place
Will cost me about 15 quid lol

 

[MicrAde]

[skymera]

I think someone needs their tracking done.

[Scott.c]

Yeah, dont tell anyone

 

[Scott.c]

Got this through the post today, hopefully fit it at work tomorrow if its quite

 

[Scott.c]

Exhaust is on and it sounds good! Not to loud in the car and not to loud out the car just right imo

 

[Scott.c]

Shame my manager decided it would be a good idea to reverse her into a wall

 

[h701micra]

Hope he's paying repairs

 

[Scott.c]

Hope he's paying repairs

hes buying a new bumper but its the metal behind it thats ****ed! so hard to open and close the boot!

 

[Scott.c]

This is what the cherry bomb sounds like if anyone was interested

 

[Scott.c]

Found out my car has a low fuel warning light how long does it last after that because it was underneath the red when it came on!

 

[fixedfool]

it lasts for a good bit mine would usually get be bout 50mins of constant driving.?
how does that cherry bomb fit to the car is it after the back box?

Ah right that's decent although i never let it get to low cos i don't want it sucking up all the rubbish that's probably in the bottom of the tank.
It is the back box, was a pain in the arse to fit tho. I chopped the backbox off and sleeved and clamped it on, sounds simple but there was a lot more to it than that! I wouldnt want to fit another one that's for sure!

 

[fixedfool]

yea im the same i only know this because i missed my exit on the motor way about a year ago and the next exit wasnt for miles... no petrol .. no movent.. haha i was looking at the cherry bombs for a while.. is it worth the hassle?

 

[DDC]

Nice wee sound of it, cherrybombs are brilliant had one on my old Saxo.

When your light came on, did it stay on or go off after a while? When my fuel light comes on, it stays lit for upto a minute, then goes off for a while then comes back on etc..

I first noticed it when i was going round a roundabout it flashed on then went off then it stayed on a couple minutes after that.
