what did you do to your micra today ?

[Belly93]

No problem Belly
I just hope they send off the bit of the V5 ^_^
...if you're still worried it may be worth calling/e-mailing the dvla to double check

i shall ring cos they never took the v5

 

[JoeK11]

i didnt scrap it a lad bought the. Remains of it to scrap i think it was within the 6 weekz soo ill see cheers jen

If he bought it off you with all the correct forms etc then its ok... if not then anything could happen and itll be under your name.

Edit... yeah, ring the dvla lol

 

[skymera]

If it scrapped, then the "scrapper" sends off a different section of the V5 without you worrying.

If you sold iot first you need to send off the relevant section. DVLA fine you for not informing them.

 

[Belly93]

Ill ring them.tomorrow and see if they have it as scrapped

[Belly93]

I see you got it

 

[Hazara]

WDID?

Fitted the radiator and filled with water. Started the engine but the battery was flat. Jump started and it runs smooth. Glued the head light and waiting to harden before fitting it.

Got the brake fluid yesterday.

Removed the carpet and will wash it sometimes. Here is the video.

Things to do for this week and before going to MOT and VOSA:

1. clean the carpet if possible
2. fit the seats back.
3. fill the brake fluid and bleed it.
4. test the brakes

Regards

Wdid?

Found out the hard way that you shouldn't move a car without an engine without driveshafts in the hubs. Wheel fell off!

God knows how I pushed it home before

[SK193]

Gave it a good wash and cleaned up the inside ready for tomorrow

WDIDT ? assembled a spare boostin engine corsa pistons and CG13 crank, 4mm short of the deck @ tdc (so probably about 8:1 c/r)

Would this be better than using 2 head gaskets?

[frank]

10XE or 12XE karl, i forget which one is slightly dished or flat

10XE or 12XE karl, i forget which one is slightly dished or flat

Would it be worth it in the cga3 block? I was thinking of lowering the compression to run more boost

 

[frank]

Would it be worth it in the cga3 block? I was thinking of lowering the compression to run more boost

yes that is a CGA3 block mate, so a .5mm overbore, a CGA3 crank would probably give a better c/r tbh, 8:1 is a bit low nowadays (should hold 20 psi of boost ok tho )

 

[karlj]

Cheers Frank something to mull over

Oh good god I did the same thing too few yrs ago lol

Engine n shafts were off, twas late so fitted the hubs n wheels back on to push back onto the front of house. Thought hmm seems to roll along fine.

Rolled back out of alley, round the corner onto street when Boof! Whole front end collapsed when the bearing cups plastic retainer clip couldn't take it, blocking 1/2 the road.

Was like oh ffs, embarrased n panicing, quick get the jack n screw the shafts n hub back on.

Ruined the bearing btw

Luckily it happened rolling it off drive, thing is I pushed it 1/2 mile the other week like that, with the mrs steering

 

[Enuo]

I painted the bonnet white again I prefer the black, but it's necessary. Can't have a sleeper that's obviously been modified...

When Well push something out the garage at work if the engines out, Well put the shafts back in and tie the up the bay so the bearings don't collapse

 

[karlj]

Replace the grill and remove the stickers for a proper sleeper

1/2 mile on normal level road yea?

The plastic clip could only take a limited stress. Mine failed as I was at full lock pushing backwards up the steep cambered road where lateral stress was highest trying to rip the wheel off.

Yeah learnt that hard lesson after the epic fail

 

[Belly93]

You'll only do it once lol

 

[Enuo]

dent sticker will stay until I fix the wing, will remove the slow sticker in tine but the scrappage scheme sticker rarely fails to bring a chuckle to cars behind so will probs stay. The grill will stay too, although I may put the badge back... It's not too far from stock, only someone who actually knew about micras would probably notice. I don't mind people who know to know if that makes sense.

I know what you mean, I'm aiming for a real sleeper myself using the cga3

[SirChris]

[Belly93]

[skymera]

Sent from my HTC One

 

[Belly93]

Any reason?

 

[SirChris]

Mini worktop

grind bench and vice.

goodies... I do look after this car she best be greatful

 

[SirChris]

Ohhh I. Seee. I am going to have a go on my drum axle. Not going to ruin this one haha

 

[SirChris]

While you have it off the car why not.....

I see what you did there ... Clever man you haha might just get frank to do it.

 

[SirChris]

Any reason?

Because it you don't need masses of camber. You don't really need it at all for what the usual micra gets up to. Skymera is just a stance hag hehe

 

[SirChris]

Before after

 

[SirChris]
