what did you do to your micra today ?

[frank]

They have the variable timing don't they. Hmm could be an investigative job then.
One thing I did think (if manufacturing the pulleys wasn't an issue) what about converting to a cambelt?
It'd be pulley sizing that'd be the issue. 2 cam rotations to 1 crank?

the QG,s do, but i think all the uk GA,s are non variable, here,s one of cov,s threads http://sr20nation.com/ga16forum/showthread.php?1549-High-comp-GA16-build-begins/page7

 

[frank]

Any more details ? Can you get adjustable sprockets?

i,ve only seen custom ones matt, drilling them would be safer still eh

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z110/Sai_art/Car/DSC00437_zpsa4b1d0e0.jpg

Spent the afternoon prepping my rear bumper, finally, for painting as weather was good...

...then it got too bloody windy <_<

Went to a car boot sale on Sunday
...picked up a pair of front mats for £1.50...I'm pretty sure they're not proper Nissan one's but...for £1.50?...Meh! LOL

It was also my brothers birthday...and as I don't like him much I got him a 1D cake from the bargain bin at ASDA

Picked up my manifold for the ITB's

Dooooooooooooo it, epic motors, nothing like absolutely burning smeone in a grandad car, sometimes I really want mine back

 

[davyboy]

Quite true there Craig. Had a black beemer up my backside today, could not resist it, gave it a go. The bugger could not pass me for want of trying. I was saved by the two lanes merging to one on the bypass though. Then I went into Asda to save my integrity, smiled all the way into the store. Couldn't pass me in there...LOL Didn't want anything, but deed done.
So much for my in town mileage testing...so what!!!!

You've got one? Good job - I had the undesireable saloon, still a ripper though. Done anything to yours?

Got a 1.4 52 plate, 45,000 when I got her for £720. Drove big Jags for 25 years, wish I had one of these little rockets earlier.
Came already lowered on the front, nothing else. Quick enough for me now (well past 60) especially round town, uncatchable in town I think.
I really must grow up...a bit, but these cars were made to drive, and give a great driving experience.

Nice big cars. I sometimes miss my last car Mondeo ST24 2.5 V6 saloon, comfy big bus.

 

[chrisuk2009]

Took Misty the micra to the garage, took 40mins to get there in traffic, nearly taken over 3 hours to get back because of trains.

 

[Skinner_87]

For resetting timing to full lift after skims frank would you need much of the dowl filled away? (depends on the size of the skim etc i suppose)

This arrived today.

It's a one foot long string of LEDs sealed in flexible resin with 3M double-sided tape on the back. First off, I'm going to install one as a number plate light, then, as the light is so good I fancy some footwell lights too.

Also, check my blog for the vegan diet my indicators encountered today!

Wdid? Change of rims Still running the 175/65/15's that they came with so looks a little tractor like but I do have some 175/50/15's on order

Feel free to voice your opinions, I'll only ignore them anyway Been on the lookout for a set of these for ages and I love them

 

[roadstermatt]

I like those rims

 

[Wagoneer]

Very nice, are they Alfa wheels?

Also, how many acres an hour can you plough?

Mini Cooper rims If you saw the state of roads in Sheffield then you'd understand why we all drive tractors!!

Looks good if you ask me, surprised that Mini Cooper rims have the same PCD. Assuming its the BMW one not the classic?

Correct, it is the BMW Mini. 4x100 pcd but centre bore is only 56.1 I think so had to 'get creative'

 

[JoeK11]

Looks good ade I wanted a set if those for a while but didn't fancy the price

Looks much nicer, painting steelies is never something i do very properly either

Cheers everybody wasn't sure what the general consensus was gonna be as its a bit different from the norm. Taken them off for now cos with that tyre profile it was catching something rotten on full lock Should be back on for good middle of next week Future plans will include extended studs and spacers to properly fill the arches and maybe go just a tad lower... (When budget permits of course )

 

[karlj]

They look cool Ade

 

[frank]
