what did you do to your micra today ?

- Start date
Took her to London Eye. She wasn't very impressed.
I must concur. That's a seriously unimpressed-looking micra...
Nice photograph, though!
Today on my 2003 1.4 SE+ I decided to clean/remove the mould from my driver door rubber weather seal, after removing the rubber I found a bit of corrosion! :-( So I rubbed it down applied Hammerite Kurust and a coat of zinc primer and tomorrow will apply a top coat of paint! Just shows to what a accumulation of mould can do so I will be now checking all door seals! B-)
Fell in love with this k11 March Polka edition

there are 2 different types of bush eh (k11 ?) https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/k11-lower-arm-front-bushings.61121/#post-692275
Finally on the road and Drove it to work 
drove like a bag of nails to work and occasionally nearly stalled when coming to a stop. In my head I was putting it down to the plugs not being changed since fitting the new engine, the fuel filter being the original from when the car was built or the universal eBay lambda I fitted. When I got to work I ordered the plugs and filter as I couldn't be bothered to get them before I was driving the thing. I also checked the voltage on the lambda which seemed fine thankfully. I then remembered on my old turbo how it played up similar when the maf went. So I sprayed some contact cleaner in there and it ran like a dream all the way home

Changed the plugs and fuel filter. Oh my days the plugs were just old plugs but the filter was completely blocked with crud (I cut it open and looked 
) 2001 was a very very long time ago...my old prefacelift was the original too and nowhere near as bad. Maybe this one was ran empty quite a few times?

I've ruined my car ?
Went to the scrapyard and then accidentally ran over some of my parts

Ran over a handbrake surround after I was allowed to have a spin in a micra in the yard. I'd left it on the roof

LOL...we've all left stuff on the roof.
I drove home from the supermarket once with a tin of dog food on the roof, all the way home I was wondering what everyone was laughing at.

Took apart my new CGA3 engine, and found it is minter. Very low mileage, and everything is like new.

Well if I can't modify them to fit this is the place I'd sell them for sure, took me 2 years to find a set.
Is your car the white one? Just wondering what arches they are as I'm struggling to find something to suit a 5 door and they look great!

Gave it a good clean.
Including the underside ready for some floor pan welding
Noticed as well I've got the tabs for a rear anti roll bar on the body, just not on the axle. Also chasing a really annoying power drop at full throttle after around 50mph. My cheap universal lambda is dead already so I've got the secondary plugged into the first plug
maybe that's it?

Cleaned mine too. ......I've only owned her 2 weeks and I've washed and polished her 5 times. ......I think that's a personal record
Even though she's fairly mint, I got annoyed by the dull rusty bits that were showing through the grill. ......so now she's toothless. Hopefully I'll get some dinitrol converter, paint and ACF 50 on her over the next few days. ....also, I was really happy with the condition of the front crossmember on closer inspection

Me too. So far I've only found Rust as it's achilles heel.

Mines a second facelift 1.4 sport ....no rust anywhere that I know of.
They seemed to have fixed the rust problem in the facelifts.
Mine is a 1st Face lift. The only rust on it is a small hole on NSR sill.

Well-done fella, what's next for the brakes?5th in class and 51st overall, on a tough day at Snetterton... Think I proved the Almera brakes are not up to the job....
