Fitted a modified intake pipe from a pre face (removed revurb pipe). Discoverd the reason my wipers some times park to high is cuz im missing one mounting bolt/rubber! Also fitted my aloys. 16x7.5 momo x1's with 205/45/16 pirellis. Supprised but they dont rub at all and handles amazingly. Slight loss of acceleration tho. Never mind, pros n cons n all that lol. Pics to come tomoz

 

[Enuo]

£140 quid for the license, think that allows 3 ecu's and 2 laptops....

Megasquirt for me then...

 

[Chris Huzzey]

13s with 155/50 fitted after bolts came, bolts fit fine its just the tyres are so big that they scrub loooads, deffo getting lower profiles if my steely wheels wont fit

 

[Chris Huzzey]

steelies tyres are 155/70, im rubbish with sizes and that, would they fit on 6j 155/50's?!

Finished my corner weighting for less than £6 write-up. Edited a couple of times and no dout edited again when something obvious slaps me in the face. So keep an eye on it

http://www.micra.org.uk/index.php?posts/653823

Tomorrow will be adjustments and a few pictures to explain the lengthy text. And why I chose slightly different spring rates on the front of H701

And yes you can apply it to gran turismo or whatever game you play

Please enlighten me as to the benefit of this Frank ?

When I bought my de engine he asked if I wanted it for free he said the synchros gone... I had a fiddle and thought its worse than that... but I thought it'll be a great spare to learn with

 

[chrisuk2009]

Started work on my rear trims. Power washed (lots of paint came off anyway), sanded (poundland sandpaper sucks shock horror) so used a 'mouse' thing. Got most of the paint off, currently primered them. In keeping with many micra owners philosophy, this will be done as cheap as possible. Poundland grey primer applied:

to increase the water temp (heater) during winter ed there is some enginebay temp input now also, gonna try heatsink or higher rated stat next

Doesn't that increase the block expansion due to temperature?

i only want to raise it 10 deg andy

Sounds complicated to work out :/

if this does,nt work out paul, yes

 

[tryme]

i put hub caps on it. hhaha i want it to look like its fresh and just come out the show room! i like mine to look standard to be honest, a nice clean fresh motor.

 

[chrisuk2009]

Same, plan was to only keep the car a year, but after the money I've been spending recently and given how much fun ragging it on a B road the other day was, I'm going to have to keep it.

 

[Magpie42]

I was planning on tinting the back windows today but, because of the massive window rubbers it looks a bit tricky...

Would it be easier to pop the back window out, apply the tint, then fit it back in?

Anyone taken their back windows out before?

Hmmm....

Locked my keys in the car, so ended up wasting an hour of my life removing the rear quarter window to get in. And it was raining. I need a beer.

 

[Dinky DK]

Fitted my 16 x 7.5 momo x1's yesterday. Finished fitting my modified (pre face pipe with removed revurb chamber) intake pipe today

 

[McMicra]

WDID? Found one of my headlight units is quite broken , the glass and mount is fine, but I can move the reflective unit like 45 degrees if I wiggle the bulb =/

Also put a hole in the damn expansion tank!

 

[l_jonez]

Not quite sure how 2 stats would help if they are both rated at the same temp?

A higher rated stat would work better?

 

[frank]

because the 2nd one is remote from the engine heatsink

The higher temp stat determines the working temp, simply remove from housing in summer

yes i will refit the stock top hose in the summer, i just want to nudge the temp gauge to just above halfway (from below halfway)

Wdidt? Drove it and loved it! What a fantastic start too the new year! New wheels, tom and mines first house and a new job!

[mas12555]

[Clodo]

[mas12555]

WDIDT ?
stripped the CGA3 that i,ve been using for the past 18 months (apart from mallory week)
the k12 fire-rings did their job well eh (as did the 2nd hand head gasket) cyl 3 was a bit wet (what a surprise ) the cause of the slight smoke on startup since i,ve had it i guess
fitting some part-worn corsa oil control rings to it atm

 

[frank]

re-ringed now
you can see where the oil control rings had worn down that much (in the red circle area) that the expander has polished itself on the cylinder wall (hence the lack of oil scraping)

 

[MicraPRO]

Decided I need to rebuild the whole rear axle...
1 its rusty
2 I have a knock on the offside shock
3 it could all do with a clean
4 The brake bias controller spring thing needs a cable tie round it as rear wheels keep locking up under hard braking.
5 ive never checked the shoes or drums properly.

So my question... how hard is it to drop off completely?

easy IF the bolts come out of the mounts ok tom

 

[Enuo]

Tried and failed to remove the panhard rod today, bolts rusted solid in bushes. Balls.

Likely hood of them being siezed and possibly snapping..?

they dont snap tom, just seize inside the bush

Angle grinder had to remove mine mate... cut away the rubber and then just the sleeve.

 

[MicraPRO]

Same outcome as my panhard rod then... replace them all? matt humphries?
