what did you do to your micra today ?

- Start date
Yeah ive got the standard spare, no point faffing with it till im going somewhere though, the leak is fairly slow so im gonna pump the tyre back up monday or tomorrow and head back down as the place is only down the road really. The guy said before he fitted it that it might go down but might not so i was taking a chance anyway, and of course he also found it hilarious that i drove a micra and "had all that work done on it" as apparently "pimping" a micra isn't what you do...

cheers andy
we fitted a blanking disc today, so i can test the mani assy out for any flow/power loss compared to the stock modded one.
the T15 ones are funnelled down to the size of my little finger, to achieve the fast flowing jet of gasses for quick spoolage, (this one constricts down to about 30mm dia)

I take it you had trouble putting those little plugs back into the holes then? I have also got the cable tie method in place!
Went to a local scrappy (Hills in Skelmersdale) for a pair of calipers and decided not to after seeing the prices *. Ended up forking out 30 squid for a single-DIN radio console surround. Anyone wanna buy a Pioneer double DIN DVD playing stereo for a BARGAIN price?

WDID? I finally fixed it! Haven't really needed a car the past 3 months, and the weather has been less than nice, so I really haven't been bothered to do much on it. Yesterday I dropped the tank, gave it a good cleaning, and replaced the pump. Today I repaired the hole(s) in the filler pipe and reinstalled the tank. Need to sort out my insurance before I take it for a drive again, and go for MOT before the end of the month.

i,ll refit the low comp corsa piston engine soon i guess, but i,ll see how much stick this one will take in the meantime
and i only tried the suck-through t/b setup previously really, this way does,nt have the compressor surge/sneeze problem where the maf mistakenly thinks i opened the throttle and goes mad rich on lift, and its running off the scale rich @ wot so far..........i,ll let you know after more testing eh

Fibre glass should have nothing to do with repairs on metal imo... but on the subject of sills and exhausts, I have mot soon and need to get some rust taken care of.. as well as a list of other things :/ Any tips on replacing the silencer?
Today, did some crazy overtakes as revenge on the fool driving a peugeot in front of me... Wanna be in front? Drive like u mean it! Also slightly scared the gf to death at the same time...
I can see this post getting deleted by the mods soon.
Crazy overtaking? Are you ****ing mad? Lol
Haha not too crazy, he cut me up coming off a 2 lane on the chevrons so i went back past and let him sit there. Look on his face was good though... Didnt expect a 1l micra to come back at him! On another note i also discovered a slow leak in another tyre... kinda tired of tyres giving me trouble, think when i get some cash in i might invest in some decent brand new tyres then treat them right and get a good few thousand miles out of them.

Thats what i would of thought typically but some cowboy seemed it was best to fibre glass it at the time lol, what about the silencer mate?

Karl what have i told you about throwing children in lakes!
WDID? went to move the car and found that someone has stolen my gas can today.. sucks that i've had it only a week, but serves them right if they use what was in it.. 4-5 litres of this:
I think it was the neighbour's kid.. I'll know if I see him out tearing apart his motorcycle engine again.
Weighed all the stuff I took out when i started working on the tank.. back seat, spare tyre, jack, and tools.. about 35kg. Only 10L of fuel in the tank saves another 30kg... no wonder it was so nice on my test drive

Need to replace mine... always had problems with exhaust bolts in general.. any tips for not breaking them?

when possible I'd first try cut off the exposed stud thread so the rust can't jam the nut.
if the exhaust nuts are proper rust seized on, I would carefully grind the side of the nut down to the thread and chisel it off.
I always wirebrush, retap clean and regrease the stud thread and use relatively clean new nuts.

I've got a nut splitter if it comes to that, but no grinder and no taps... arghhh.. i miss having my shed in the states
lots of good toys in there..If I pass the mot sound level test, I can just wait a month or two and get a proper new exhaust system

my place is the same, no public allowed into the yard. Hills is huge, over 30,000 parts listed on ebay they have. what calipers you after? i have about 6 k12s in work
WDID
finished fitting and wiring my components. fitted the early k11 tailgate handle i had off Skinner. fitted another k11c rear wiper motor and plastic arm.
Cheers Hoopdub, I'm after front calipers, lower mileage as possible . Mine keep seizing despite being cleaned out and relubed with red rubber brake grease. They put most of the pressure on the inside of the disc, as if the slide mechanism isn't working. If price is reasonable, I can paypal the dosh whenever's convenient to you if you have any .
What speakers are they? Look very smart!
