it should yeah, all the suspension bits will be done on saturday then im not fussed with the turbo engine. just concentrating on getting rid of the grey micra sadly this way i dont have to think of how to get my car to where its being mapped as i can drive it there. i also dont need to worry about getting someone to trailor it or hiring vans and so on. i can see how my car will be in a couple months in my own head and its just what i want, and im keeping it a sleeper!

muchos respect to you stan the man for doing this, damn id love to be left alone to fit all the bits!!
sleeper ftw, especially a 5 door, i love the idea behind it all, shame to see the grey beast go but you do what you have to do sometimes
rather than kill it, can you put the 1.0cc out the 5 door back in the 3 door grey one, someone whos just passed there test would love that as insurance etc is cheaper, yet they have the looks
just a thought and ways to make more money,........
sooo you can buy a bigger turbo right:laugh::laugh:

Cheers mate! I have thought about doing that but it's slot of work doing both 1.0-1.3 gearbox swaps. The only way I would do it is to keep the 1.0 box on the 1.3 turbo but I don't really fancy that lol so the plan is to strip the ex-turbo, sell what I can and scrap a really good condition shell

nope, bought from matt humphris. im guessing he has thought of the on car adjustable one and now produces them. and from the edge of my arch to the tyre thats nearest the ground its exactly the same arch gaps so i couldnt recommend it anymore. something i wasnt able to achieve with the off car adjustable whiteline one. cant wait for turbo time haha!!!!

yeah maybe but then the shocks were leaking too. matt humphris offered me to send them in and he will send them off to spax to have them looked over as hes not had any problems like this even on his rally cars but me being me just bought replacements. so if anyone is interested in rear coilovers spares/repaird let me know
