Hello people,
First post here I picked up my March (Yes, an actual March not a Micra) recently for £600 here in the UK. At first I was a little iffy on the cost because they're normally £3-500 Max however this has one lady owner from new, imported by Nissan UK as a showroom car, 55000mi (57k now
) and full Nissan Service history.
When I got it it already had a Pioneer head unit MP3/CD/AUX however sadly it needed a little work including a sticky left caliper which had also created a split CV gaiter and excessive wear on the tyre (Doh!)
I have done a full service, break change and CV gaiter swap. Ordered a Apexi filter and appropriate piping including a tiny breather filter.
Made some stickers for the car (my home business) and a general tidy up.
Next stop is a decent suspension set up and upgraded stopping power.
The total plans are:
Footwork-
+ suspension (BC Racing or Ceika)
+ brake upgrade (N14 or Ceika)
+ bushes
+ tyres, currently has 5 (including the one in the boot/trunk)
Aesthetics-
+ touch up scratches
+ grind out and treat rust bubbles on arches
+ better wheels. Maybe... Something like 15*8j ET0
+ roll and bolt on arch flares
+ fog lights.
+ HID conversion, the current H4 sh**e are like candles in the wind.
Engine / Running gear-
+ 421 Manifold (extractor?)
+ Sports Cat
+ Backbox
+ fit Apexi Filter
+ fit Tacho
+ Better clutch and flywheel (Exedy & JUN?)
+ buy a CG13DE, build including CG10DE pistons and better cams.
+ Turburooooo!
