Actually nothing to the Micra for months as it is all ready to a British Championship Rally back in April which of course never happened...
So here is an old pic of the Micra rallying on #WheelsUpWednesday
So been working hard on the ZR...
- Fully seam welded both front sub-frames, including sump guard mounts
- Gearbox fully rebuild by the Rover Centre
- New clutch
- New lightened flywheel ~3.5kgs
- Repaired cracks in the front chassis legs
- Fitted new steering rack
- Ported the exhaust manifold, removing all internal seam welds, then seam welded it on the outside
- Fitted (yet to be plumbed in) hyd handbrake & bias valve
- Welded up and plated the handbrake and hyd handbrake mounts
- Removed the AC pump, and all parts from the heater unit
- Removed the dash to remove sound proofing weight
- Had the dash professionally flocked, and refitted the dash
- Fitted lighter and more supportive seats
- Fitted safety film to the side windows (one left to complete)
- Fitted poly bushes to gearbox linkage
- Fitted quick shift to gear linkage
- Welded in bracing under the front wings to strengthen the front chassis
- Designed and made my own rear ARB
- Completely heat wrapped / lagged the exhaust manifold and downpipes to the cat
- Converted the navigators electric window to ‘one-touch down’
- Added a cooling fan to the injector rail
- Relocated the horn to a more central location
- Replaced (where possible) all nuts and washers to aluminium items
- Front suspension struts have been back to Gaz for a rebuild
Thorough these works I have removed nearly 28kgs of weight from the car
