what did you do to your micra today ?

Wired a rev counter under the engine bay quickly and still no signal from the dizzy..... Blue wire(that goes into green/white) refuses.
Looks like I'll have to go down the ECU route or sod the rev counter.

Few more small things ordered to get the final pieces together also!

you often have to fit a link wire near the ecu on pre-facelifts eh, did you also wire the power leads when testing it in the engine bay ?

I wired the clocks to the dizzy rather than the ECU. That's the next alternative.
And yeah all wires other than the backlight wires which I never connected anyway.

Will be booking a test day after the engine swap is done, if anyone is interested it'll probably be at Blyton and will cheaper with more people
 
Got my new stereo in and a couple of other touches,

Also changed back to orange repeaters the other day, expecting alot of shiny things over the week/weekend! :)

Ha, ha, ha, HAH here's me standing by my new micra, bought her this afternoon. Better than I thought, power hood, power and folding mirrors, multi stack cd player, leccy windows, air-con (with a soft top !!!) and a few others I will find later no doubt.
Also wax oiled, she's perfect underneath, cross-member like the day it was made, taxed and tested 6 months, central locking, 60k only, and ready to roll when it all comes through. Took me about 6 months to track her down and buy her.
She's an R plate when the new number comes through (whatever year that is ?):D

R plate is the same year as mine so 97/98, it must be a really early facelift! suprised it doesnt have the cabriolet lights like my rear lights! looks sweeeeeeeet though!

I'd be up for it with a non -micra? Possibly plus 1 with a mate as we've already done cadwell and oulton.
Any ideas when your looking huggy?

It's not going to be a track day, I'll be hiring the circuit from the owner in the condition that cars are either having set up work done or for driver tuition. I can get it cheaper that way :)

If that's what your after then by all means you're welcome to come :)

Ah right, to be honest I would still be interested with the driver tuition. I assume that's like what they offer in small blocks on the track days? Not really any setup work to do but I would come for the day out with the club and lend a hand either haha :)

The driver tuition isn't organised by them either, I'm simply hiring a track for the purpose of 'testing or tuition' for insurance purposes.

I'll ping of some emails soon and see what we can do though, he might be flexible :)
 
Fitted a new oil seal today, so no more oil on the driveway
What a pain in the ass it was to loosen off the power steering pump!!!!!
 
Changed the alternator on my mums auto k11 today. Took longer to get the dam under trays off than it did to change the actual part! Stupid rusty screws!
 
Not even a damn flake of snow here. I wake everyday in the hope to see a winter wonderland.

Woke up to a few inches.....
These crazy painkillers are not giving me much energy or determination to go put the snow tyres on though!

Oil of cloves or toothache tincture to kill that tooth bud, and its instant, and an old way that works.;)
 
Lol just got it
It was intentional I promise, I knew there would be some immature people here ;)

Got a few more inches and got stuck in deep lastnight... Went up and down the mountain(only the gritter had been over there not spreading). Snow tyres were working fantastic but they don't work when the car is in a snow banking!
