what did you do to your micra today ?

After a new daily Micra to keep the Stars Cup mint. It must be 1.0, cheap, bad color paint and whitout ANY option. Not easy because I just moved and dont have internet access ready yet. Wish me luck!

Thats incredibly dangerous. If you're not sure how to repair something, get someone who does.

The masking tape I was used started to peel up at the edges which means it's got to get rubbed down and then start again :'(

i wantttttt it!!!:)did it take long? and what paint did u use?
 
not that long if you add all the time up but its been done over a few days

a few hours rubbing it down to clean metal
hour spraying light coats of primer
next day the white
today the red

but as said its gone wrong (cheap masking tape) so tomorrow if i get chance ill rub it down and sorce some better tape. the paint is normal automotive paint. although the cam cover gets hot most paints can cope with it
 
WDIDT ? bought another TD05 ffs :rolleyes: they had a TD04 too, so i was able to compare the 2 side by side (farty little things those TD04,s are :p)
this silencer should fill the transmission tunnel too lol, this side-exit exhaust i,m running atm is a tad loud

did you use specific paint? like heat proof or something? wanna do mine but not sure what paint to get!
 
WDID?

Got that quote for the rust... £120 to fix the hole on the inner sill and some surface rust on the outer on both sides, doesnt sound too bad :) and means the car will live on a while :)
did have the option of just a patch for £40 and treat the surface rust myself but dad reckons its better to get it done well and tbh the price for treating products would add up.
 
Cool, i ordered them and turned out one was going to take longer so i went to the scrappy and got a good condition one incase the new one wasnt here intime for the respray. There are some good ones out there and it was only £20

altered the side exit 50mm system (with a very effective primera diesel silencer) and fitted a boot release lever/cable etc (what a f/kin mission that was !)
