Also a V-Reg (facelift, but dizzy engine) 1.0Ltr 5 door in Silver is now on our drive, to be broken for spares, as it is rotten...

Not looked over it much, seems engine is knackered, hopefully the gearbox is good as it the right one or rallying.

No rev counter, but does have headlight protectors.

Will list parts on here and then on ebay.

Got the car for free, and even has half a tank of fuel - bonus :)

The boots should be the same on my coilpack car? Guessing it's the sun burst silver or whatever (standard silver) if so I'll buy that.

How much do you want for the window rubbers and the hard plastic bits at bottom of side window? Also interested in the door seals if its not too expensive

Collected Muriel from Matt H, who has been fitting the rear disc conversion kit. Pleased with the extra rear braking power, bedded in the pads and discs on the way home, just hoping that with hot pads and some more bedding in the handbrake will improve. No loss if it doesn't as the old setup the handbrake was rubbish too...

New disks and pads on the front, purchased shoes for the rear but didnt need them just a quick manual adjustment and tightened the cable - it now holds on the handbrake on steep hills!
Purchased a mig.
 
Plugged lambda back in........ Knocking like a postman....... Unplugged it, revs like a bike, sounds like a scooby, goes like fu..... Something quick. Lol.

Gonna leave it unplugged. Runs so much better...

Got a number of jobs to do to the rally car which need to be done ready for Abingdon Stages in a couple of weeks. Then I will start removing bits.

Put the blink (chrome handles) on rouge 5 and found rotten window vertical runners on the back doors :confused:, rust proofed the doors with Waxoyl and also lacquered my rocker cover again. Also ordered from a scrappy on the big rock a second hand drivers seat and also door cards. Re-fitted the front passenger seat in Le Petit Vert (1.4SE) and also talked to my fellow Micranaut mate Davyboy!

"Phew" no wonder why I am knackered lol! o_O

Cheers
Andy:D
 
Changed front left:
- Brake pads
- Shock (gas pressure, bilstein)
- Spring (from a 1.5d, kyb)
- Trackrod end (split pin broke inside, couldn't be bothered to drill it out when a new one is less than a tenner)
- CV boot (cleaned out the CV joint, didn't have any grit in there... getting rid of all the old grease was a pain)
- tried changing brake disk, but the vented disks were too thick for the caliper.
 
Oh yeah, and started putting mesh in front of the radiator/engine to save them from gravel...

Final prep work for Abingdon Stages in a coule of weeks - read about it all on the blog - www.mattendean.co.uk

Started looking over the other Micra, which will be broken for parts.

Those wanting parts i.e. headlamp covers should PM me now as the car is advertised elsewhere now....
 
Today I managed to warp the thread on a hubnut. F**k.

Any idea where to get a hubnut quickly on a bank holiday? Going to call some breakers as soon as it's a more reasonable time.

Fitted a getto spring to the wastegate to bring the boost up to 9psi..... Worked, right up until the spring slipped, pulled out the Rclip holding the actuator arm on, went from 9psi to 0psi instantly, almost sha....Pood myself. Lol.

It's fine now,
I've bought a £7 bleed valve off ebay.

Good God it's quick at 9psi.

Can't wait to get the intercooler fitted in, remapped for 12/14 psi and go VXR hunting lol.

Did loads over the long weekend stripped off Rouge 5's clothes and lubricated and greased all her exposed parts and then gave her some new blink lol! :p

No wonder why I am shagged! o_O

Cheers
Andy :D
 
888 ant ? i chased one in tamworth last year and he left me for dead (as he disappeared he did a 4 car overtake on a blind bend !)
 
(Last night) stripped lots of parts from the doner Micra, mostly internal parts. Will start listing on the Sales section on here first then they will gradually make it over to fleabay if not sold on here.
 
Listed all the parts in the For Sale section, I have removed so far, just got a few bits from the boot to remove then its on to removing bits from the engine bay.
 
What do we reckon for the colour guys and girls?
Left is Europe Blue
Right is Electric Blue
IMAG0883[1].jpg

Personally i like the one on the right, but it's nice to have some opinion's on it first haha
Gonna go ahead and order 7-8 cans soon of ethier and do my whole car in it lol
 
Also got a new key cut, took the locksmith about 15 mins to make me a new one. Quite a difference and i can use the passenger lock, not bad for £15 :)
