Thanks immy but im one step ahead of you it seems. I put fresh petrol the batterys completely flat but when i jumped it off the other car it wouldnt turn over at all. ? Could it be something as simple as the spark plugs? Or a build up of oil being sucjed into the motor? Im stuck.

Not so much Micra related, but found out today my mother in law will fund my Motor Mechanic course at college, gonna be the oldest student on my course at 36. Its a level 2 course, so no Gov funding for me till i go onto lvl 3, then the Gov will pay for it, happy days

Fronts will go straight on, rears will need a little mod, I have Super S mudflaps on my first facelift and needed a little fettling on the rear, nowt that a drill and self tappers can't overcome ;) Wheels look well btw but it does need lowering ;)
 
I mounted my harness in my car today, it is only a show harness as I would never feel safe with how I have it set up and also because of the fact its only bolted to seat belt points and I have no cage.

Yeah its not that bad but I heard that if you dont mount the top straps correctly you can get serious back injures in a crash. I stay in my seat alot better though. I got another one to go on the passenger seat too. I think if I set them up correctly I should be fine but I dont think its worth the risk. I would rather make up a bar like this guy did.

My brother has named my setup "the back breaker" lol.

I had to stop watching that video after a few minutes. All I can see happening is that in the unfortunate event of a crash, the 'harness bar' that he made (very badly) is going to either snap where the hole for the camera mount is or the welds are going to break on the b-pillar. Either way he'll get a lump of 25mm box section wrapped around his head. You already know that bolting the rear part of your harness straight to the floor behind the seat is a bad idea, (the harness has no forward stopping power) so why not put a half cage in and do it properly, then you can use them with confidence.

Im purely using them for show since I got the harnesses for free. I would love a half cage or a cage but I can't afford one.

I suppose but I would prefer a flexi mount, when my 4-2-1 mani comes I will make a flexi joint for it. At the moment I will be using a thin bit of metal, U bolts and lots of gum gum to seal up the huge split.

Nothing exciting really most of it went black again, calipers went white (seemed like a good idea at the time lol) not that you can see them hidden behind the wheels anyway.
 
Actually one thing, i reeeeeeally hope you cleaned the calipers to stupidly clean...even after i thought i'd gotten them clean the paint still didn't dry and its a bitch to have to take it all back off again.

Lol yeah my thoughts but I set out to completely do every inch of the car... So I have committed myself haha. Lol you have no idea how much work went in to cleaning the buggers. Gunk and white spirit fumes took 99% of my brain cells haha.
