to turbo or new lump :/ hmmm
wont hear my past the exhaust lolno tyre to rd surface noise with decent rubber
You're a lucky lad
I am indeed - I've saved up and paid for half of it though so I understand how lucky I am
i am bothered about grip but not noise had these tyres on a 9N Polo & my V6 Toyota Camry 3.0 gx 24v with no grip issues
didnt have any issues as a parts manager in a toyota main agent with them when we sold them (lots of them)
also alot of my mates who still work in the tyre sales business still say there a damn good tyre if a bit noisy (down to the tread patterns on certain ones in there range)
looks great keep us posted on how you doFormula 1000 spec so standard engine and box etc
you sound very botherd by this,,,,,me too
nothing less than 185's now days for meWill do
I've got a blog on here - http://micra.org.uk/threads/junior-1000-rally-micra.52727/ <---- anything that happens I will post on.
I think the club were trying to organise a test next month so we'll see how it goes
Didnt do much just found this on instagram
not really but i find it tiresome when some one is speaking complete tosh and on that the subject is closed !!you sound very botherd by this,,,,,me too
is this some kinda of has to have the last word thing ?? i suppose this is how youve made over 6300 comments
its not a last word in biznis, but the many posts is to do with my passenger side front tyre getting bald a lot.
k11 lifer right here !
Wdid? Well over the last 2 days drove to Norwich twice (about 540 miles total) blew up my lights, changed bulb and fuse for the busted one and re-bodged the connections (direct contact now as the plug disintegrated) and this evening at 11:30 i stopped for a maccy d's by RAF Duxford and a guy with a Slammed golf ran across the car park to admire nigel and invite me to join his car club! Apparently he used to have a micra and loves them, especially with my PL exhaust noise going on! EPICNIGEL

Wdid? Got rid of the bloody incessant annoying rattles from the rear of the car. First job was to drill the internal rear hatch cover and secure with self tappers and then I adjusted the boot latch to pull boot lid down tighter.......result, no more rattles
I need to this, my boot rattle is getting louder & louder! Don't suppose you'll be putting a guide or pics or anything up will you?
Didn't really think a guide would be necessary to be honest but have some pics odd ball
Here you can see the useless plastic clips have been binned and cover is now secured with self tapping screws......
And below shows the striker in the boot, loosen the two 10mm bolts and gently tap striker towards boot floor, tighten up and try bootlid. If you tap striker down too far you will have to really bang boot down hard to get it to latch, or it may not even latch at all so you may have to adjust a few times to get the best compromise.
Hope thats some help to you odd ball
well haven't got the self tappers so ive took the panel off for now and ive adjusted the boot catch so hopefully it will be like driving a rolls to work later
damn rattle must be something else oh well back to the drawing board
Spare wheel fastened down? Parcel shelf? Lock mechanism?
i reckon parcel shelf spare wheel isnt in spare wheel well wont fit could just be junk in the trunk tried the tailgate cause some times ive looked in my rear view mirror chattering on the back window in time with the rattle
Cheers i have a look
brilliant!
did the seller tell you what to do with the wrong one he sent you before?
...or did you send it back and tell him where to put it already?

Hopefully. I suppose it's the original cost + shipping on replacement grill + shipping on returning other grill to him.Bargain?
It's not worth it and hopefully I can keep it as a gesture of goodwill..

Cheers for that, it was the bit about using self tappers I didn't understand... Didn't realise you were on about that access panel... Mine came off long ago so I can skip that!
Will have a go at the latch in the week...
Wdid? Went to the mechanics for a play pulled the plugs out and everythings dry and oil free which is good for when i make it 1.3L. Also got some wierd noises diagnosed as the gearbox front end bearing being a bit shagged but apparently its expensive to fix and not really an issue so i'll just run it til it goes bang i guess, anyone know how to shut up a whiny gearbox? I guess now my plans are to fix the light properly and then get a head kit and plan out the rebuild
