what did you do to your micra today ?

[Tom Tandy]

Bolts snapped off or just spinning? or that pesky clip on the bottom corners?

The pesky clip pissed me off, but no, it was the pain of trying to remove the connecters :/ they're stiff on my car...

Fitted some almera gti stopping power and boy does she stop.

Went to the scrappys today, got a new boot handle which is all I went there for, Then I ran into another Micra that was not there last time, 1.3 Si, As per usual it was on top of another car... After climbing up into it I retrieved the Wiper stalk with Fog switch, Another dash cluster with rev counter, pillar tweeters and the electric window switches and top arm rest, Going back in a couple of weeks for the wheels and a couple of other bits

Wired up the driver side electric window and put the new indicator stalk on today, doing the passenger side and pillar tweeters tomorrow

I often wondered why the headlight aim switch is not illuminated, so now mine is! Used a sub miniature 12v 65mA bulb from ebay. I used a clear bulb but no reason why a coloured one could not be used and they are available from Maplin.

Video of it in situ:

[pollyp]

[Callumosl]

[Matiz]

I like your life items list... I mean obviously I change oil/filters very often (every event usually) but I've never snapped shafts/wishbones etc so I've never though about 'lifing" them although I really should

I'll probably carry on this way until the car snaps something, then refresh the shell

 

[pollyp]

I replied on fb, it looks like CV bearing failure seizing up and made the shafts fatigue

 

[Tom Tandy]

Cleaned and waxed mine

Started on the turbo manifold




Tacked together

Yep, bss sorted me out

 

[Muniek]

I got some parts to make a full overhaul of rear suspension, 4 x trailing arms, swaybar links and rubbers, new sport shocks from Germany at 7 Eur a piece - micra dedicated, Weichers sport front bar that strnghtens the wishbone area, and sway bar links for the front. Also some rear boot hydraulic lifts.

Next is to bring some HP to the little beast...

 

[davyboy]

Found this at the scrappers this week, not seen one before, so I thought better save it for anyone who wants a Micra tow hitch.

Those belts will just crush your spine in an accident.

The belts need to come out at near enough 90deg from the seat back to appose a horizontal force caused by frontal impact.

The best place is the upper rear seatbelt mounts or a harness bar behind the seats.

Yh that's just a temporary fixing point it's having a cage with a harness bar
