Well, I was going to say it would be a great design for a Japanese police car, but it seems that it already is..http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/march.jpg You could do this

I was thinking, plastidiping it would be a non permanent mod (would have to consult with my insurer of course)
But those wheels are perfection in alloy
I feel like a broken record...I love my arch gap...even if it is all that is wrong with the world
@LegoJeep
Was my inspiration
Plastidip will shine ? You can also use covering (a simple black vinyl film, but more skills involved )
No...I'm pretty sure plastidip is only a matte finish
Could try a black vinyl, with shine, but as you say will be trickier. Possibly more expensive too <_<

You can buy a spray that makes plastidip shiny from the website
Oooooooooh.....so the plastidip idea is back on the table?You can buy a spray that makes plastidip shiny from the website

Could well be
go for it, have it for as long as you like... Get bored and peal it off then spray on another style

They can wear down but not much if you have alot of play I'd be looking into the rack itself
Well, I'm leaving with with my local indie, he'll know I won't accept it if it's not right when I get it back haha.

Police cars often have slightly uprated suspension, it's only to make it more authentic. Plus you'd need to lower the car a tiny bit to maintain the aame ride height on those wheelsI feel like a broken record...I love my arch gap...even if it is all that is wrong with the world

Am I reading the mileage right?

Those note wheels are the same as my current ones I believe?Police cars often have slightly uprated suspension, it's only to make it more authentic. Plus you'd need to lower the car a tiny bit to maintain the aame ride height on those wheels
...16inch and 6j ^_^ although they usually have different size tyres on notes...195/55...I would have 195/45
...as that is what I have on my rear wheels at present.

3rd knocks into neutral every time now, so its 1-2-4-5
Or mainly 1-22222222222222222222222-5. Ragging 2nd isn't helping the mpg's. Need to diagnose this

Sorry if it's been mentioned to you before
@chrisuk2009 mentioned something about the engine mount, so its the rear engine mount I should check?

Definitely it allows the engine to pitch and that pulls it out of gear.
You wedge a piece of rubber in like @frank to stiffen it up or replace it
OK cheers for the info dude, I'll go have a look in a mo and see what the dealio with it is. If it is the issue, why does only 3rd play naughty?
h701micra

3rd has the shortest 'throw' so its easiest to pull out. 1st & 5th will play up but not to the same extent
Ahhh, I had a quick look, but was too dark to see and my phone died at that no so no torch.. Will have a look tomorrow. My brake level is low as there's the warning light, is this going to contribute to this 3rd gear issue?

That's going to contribute to a crash issue... get it topped up .. then ask yourself where your fluid is going!

I thought it wouldn't, but sometimes the brake pedal dips when I fully clutch ???
Also, this problem first reared its head only one day before it started being the way it is now.. When I was clutching to shift from 3rd to 4th, the shifter felt like it just flicked out of 3rd with no resistance whatsoever, almost like It had gone to neutral before I actually pulled it back myself?? Kinda hard to word, but at the time I just thought I was tripping out about it haha

Makes sense to me dont worry. I had it a long time ago in mine but my rear mount wasn't attached properly and nearly popped out of every gear under partial throttle was a pain in the ass. But was soon sortedHaha

The pedal dipping when you press the clutch is pressure dropping in the brake servo at a guess when manifold pressure drops. Nothing to worry about
WAaaaa Brap psshhhhtThat's going to contribute to a crash issue...
May have accidentally...on purpose put a boy racer in a saxo in his place and had an INDICATED 100mph
Yeah it is a bit b*llocks, I'll get on it tomorrow and have a go at wedging something in there.. Top up that brake fluid too hahaMakes sense to me dont worry.

Worst case scenario, I'll need a new box. Will give me that ever so slight nudge I need towards getting the 1.3 I want anyway

definitely get the brake fluid doneSooner rather than later. 1.3s are getting harder to come-by
Yeah been putting it off lately as been busy, but got a free afternoon tomorrow so gotta hit it.Its easy enough

Are they really? Across the road from my mums had two in their drive, one has been replaced with a Toyota.. Presumably the missing Micra had been scrapped as they go through a lot of "cheap" cars.. Run them til they need something and change car stylee..
So gonna dibs on the remaining 5door glx they have left, or search out an mot failure donor
Did an emissions test at college and it passed

Yes unfortunate Micrapro and I have had very little time recently the cars have taken a back seat and weve not been as active on the club as you've probably noticed
....
However this isn't a bad thing as we've just bought our first house together last bit of solicitor work and should be pottering in our very own garage in about two weeks x
