what did you do to your micra today ?

[Low Rider]

aye, it sounded exactly like a diesel engine dave , the weldfilled 2mm skimmed chamber came out @ 18cc (stock chamber 26cc) a CG13 dish @ 6.5cc and a CGA dish @9cc

Ah ok, yeah I forgot you had 18cc chambers wow! I think from rough calcs we'll end up on a 24'ish cc chamber but that's to be decided once everything is cc'd. We shouldn't need to change it much given that we have positive deck height on the piston.

Could of had mine... lol

 

[karlj]

I only have the 2 and got them much cheaper than you were selling yours for, though the tyres are shot

 

[Shaun]

£150 for four wheels with good tyres spacers nuts and spigots...
£37.50 each... probably cheaper than the tyres you need to get for em now... lol
whats the spec on yours?

 

[karlj]

£30 for the two, 7x13 not sure on et yet don't need tyres as I have new ones anyway

 

[Shaun]

isn't the ET printed on 'em?

 

[markbognor]

Lol, I spotted them the other day, I almost couldn't resist putting in a bid.

Et will probably be listed in imperial as 0out or 0.25in for example, but is easy enough just to check, measure the back space, measure the overall width, half it and then take it away from the back space. Take all measure ments either from the outer edge of the rim or from the bead seat, but don't mix and match.

Hold out and another pair will turn up at the right price.

 

[karlj]

If I'm reading it right then they're +ve 5, I glad you resisted mark otherwise I probably wouldn't have got them for what I did

 

[markbognor]

Yep that sounds right, one of my pairs was +5mm. Ideal on the front.

 

[karlj]

My Wellers are +ve 6 or 7 so it won't really look much different

[euro_micra]

[lee k0011]

Got my rocker cover on and gave it a much needed service..

Came out pink in the photo but it is red.

 

[hoopdub]

PLR exhaust arrived

 

[K11Nath]

Pulled the exhaust heatshield off, bodged the gearstick return spring ( got a new one, but not doing it all on the floor with no jack again, and yes i can wriggle under a micra thats not been lowered)
Got the rocker cover gasket and chain inspection plate gasket to do, what instant gasket do you guys use?

Clear silicone

 

[Low Rider]

Hermetite instant gasket here......lovely and orange mmmmm

 

[K11Nath]

Yeah got some black instant gasket in the work van, was alright for resealing a thermostat housing on a Punto, just not sure how it'll cope with oil instead

probs go buy some hermatit saturday, or steal some from work

 

[johnbr6]

ran out of petrol lol

 

[Tango3]

drove to work and back. in my little racing car

 

[frank]

tested the 50mm side exit stainless system (warp factor 8psi 11.5:1 c/r in 2nd gear, with the balloon 175/70/13,s catching on the o/s wing )

 

[lee k0011]

Nice exhaust that looks like a fun little track to ...

[frank]

I wont you r job lol

 

[Noddie]

Nice one frank! think you might need to invest in some sticky tyres now though

 

[Guy]

Replaced my droplinks to try and get rid of the horrendous clonking from the suspension:

Hope it fixes it, couldn't even move the new ball-joints and 3 out of the 4 existing ones felt absolutely shafted .

 

[karlj]

Work in progress....

So far....

Test fitted slot mags, swapped standard wheel nuts for some anodized ones I bought off hoopdub and possibly found the source of my blowing exhaust

Still a few bits and bobs to got

 

[karlj]

Oh and Frank any chance your manifolds come with a lifetime guarantee?

 

[Noddie]

Oh and Frank any chance your manifolds come with a lifetime guarantee?

Only if you pay for extended warranty

 

[karlj]

I'm sure I have all the documents somewhere.... Should be filed ahh crap I should have got a receipt

 

[Noddie]

I'm sure I have all the documents somewhere.... Should be filed ahh crap I should have got a receipt

ha, whats up? has it cracked?

 

[Harlen]

I fitted a yellow flyeyes kit to my fogs I was gonna fit the headlights to but i'm not sure now, I quite like the contrast between the heads and fogs. Sorry I couldn't get a picture of both but it started raining just as i finished.

 

[karlj]

ha, whats up? has it cracked?

Yeah just near where the heat shield bolts to it

 

[mckenziecz]

Yeah just near where the heat shield bolts to it

Same as my missus. Something you gotta expect I suppose.
I just welded it up.

 

[frank]

Yeah just near where the heat shield bolts to it

it,ll be weldable i guess karl

 

[karlj]

It's only a hair line crack, will have a proper look tomorrow

 

[euro_micra]

Failed the MOT, kind of expected it, but it's still sad to hear.

Now passed.
But I've packed all future plans in a box 'till I've finished uni, I'm way behind in my course

 

[peposhi]

Did you buy another one, G?!?

 

[karlj]

Had a good look under the car, found where my exhaust is blowing, had a proper look at the crack in the manifold approx 40mm long and came to the conclusion that the whole of the front needs replacing... joy

 

[Guy]

Don't forget Karl, if you're going to weld it, dremel the crack out first. Gives you a bit more of a foundation for the weld and clean metal always welds better .

2000th post .

 

[karlj]

I'll probably just get a new stock manifold, I've bought a 421 off collision (just need to pick it up) so only need a stock one for mot

 

[frank]

was a bit bored an hour ago, and thought..............ah, go on then

 

[hibb72]

Found some spray in the cupboard so painted my steels.....

[lee k0011]

Finally got my spoiler on after the last couple of attempts were stopped by rain..
