It sounds immense at 0.38, looks nice and flat too
Nice parts, you mind telling me the prices of the poly units?
Nice one cheers, im just adding up parts needing in the future and its looking like another fortune
I know what you mean mate i try not to think about it Your going to end up with a belting motor at the end of it though!!
Yeah i know it'll be worth it. I have all the reciepts for the future so the thicker the pile gets the more im like uh oh! Full engine work can still be done aswell....

are these mounts hard to fit skinner?Well there was a nice big box waiting for me when i got home
Uprated 23.8mm bore master cylinder (fast you go the quicker you need to stop!) as rust has set into the current factory unit
Same for the driver engine mount & passenger gearbox mount replaced by some lovely HOL poly units
Since the engine & box are out a TTV Racing flywheel (2.8kg) will be replacing the slightly lightend factory F/W
& last & by no means least a GRP Facelift bonnet to keep the cars diet plodding along at only 5kg
So this weekend is set to be busy! Manual rack to refit along with the engine bay ancillaries ready for the engines return over the next few weeks......
Il be starting a post below to show the various weights of parts removed / replaced which (fingers crossed) should be a fair weight by the end!!
Removing the old bushes is easiest if you set them alight.
looking good though skinner...you get the bonnet from matt aswell ?
so you just take the rubbers out the centres? and how did you line up the bushes skinner? and did you fit the aero latches yourself?
Are yours fitted from the top or the undeeneath of the bonnet?
Any advice on fitting them?
Cheers skinner without sounding stupid does the latch bolt to tge metal from tge bonnet or is there nuts/ fixing plate goes underneath
Always been a fan of this mate, proper facelift inspiration
ask sleeper ss he may be able to tell you he removed it in this thread iirc http://micra.org.uk/threads/rat.31477/Anyone know how much weight you lose by removing the stiffeners out of a stock bonnet? I've not tried it but I've seen one so I know it can be done. It flexed quite a bit but it felt like a worthwhile weight loss, especially that high up and from the front where it's harder to lose weight.
