what did you do to your micra today ?

Skymera got this style so check in his blog. It's good looking on blue cars. And maybe gold too. Not sure about other colours. Post a pic when you done this job. :)
 
Wdid?

Finally did some photobucketingness!!!

Right, Firstly some photos from my two trips out along snake pass with Hannah, and again to meet ade.
Ade's dogging spot
Some of the amazing scenery :)
Nigel posing

Some show and tell/ frown at the grubbyness

And my favourite Photo from the day :) :D (very happy with the attention instagram gave Nigel lol)



And now some other stuff...
One of the better shots from my last meet in Cambridge

And finally on to What i did to my Micra today :)
I fitted the new breather and air filters i got from Goldsr the other day :) and also fitted the proper inner covers for my wiggly wing mirrors instead of just plain ones that i cut holes in :)


shiny huh? :D

not so shiny but still... :)
Oh and fitted a new doorhandle! Which had been asking to be done for ages!!!

Got an original one this time not replacement oem copy rubbish :)

Aaand we're done :)
 
Played with vinyl instead of getting on and painting the wheels.

Japanese script translates as Sports Club, if Google is to be believed.
 
WDIDT?

Tried to clean the Axle. Here is the video.
Could not removed the ABS sensor and the brake (is called shoes or pads?). Don't know how clean does it have to be before painting it!

Is it clean enough to paint?

Can some one help me here please?
Has any one used Hammerite Kurust? Is it any good?
What other product or there for treating the rust and painting over it?

Regards

how you mean mount it on a plate in the wheel well?

Well its alot of hassle to mount it the traditional way. Soo I had the idea of mounting on the underside of the wheel well. Either by welding a plate underneath to bolt it to. Or some large repair washers either side :) sorry for not making sense :oops:

I want an air intake...

might make a difference if you tell them, not sure how much but as a new driver any mod will be punished (cause insurance are twats), most people wouldnt bother i think, they dont really do much except make noise. Tbh if you do crash and they say anything you could just say the old airbox cracked and this was a cheap fix
 
WDID ?
maybe sussed how to get these head gaskets to withstand more boost :) using these modern crimped steel gasket technique (here,s one of our later type kart ones, a fire ring and 2 oil/crankcase ports, perfect seal without the use of compound or sealer)

and here,s the cut-out fire-rings from a CR gasket, on a CG gasket

when torqued down the crimping has flattened out in the high clamping area,s (near the bolts) but has,nt flattened in the low clamping area,s (between the bores where they blow first)
