i like the reg plate from Rochdale lol. Where are you based anyway?? Rochdale?? cause i live in Oldham
no sheffield mate :P
raceworks? with those lights did you use any special type of pait. also did you use primer and laquer etc
Look whats arrived this morning!!! :-
Ill post pics up of fitting and seting up asap
AS for the lights used satin black paint from halfords mate
Gooooood man! Can't wait to see what the D2 Coilovers are like!
Nearly there man!!
well there fited to the car :- i nput them on as low as theyll go to start withand as stiff as they can.. judge for yourself how low the kit will go!!!
the rear is okay the fronts need setting up properly as you can get half a lock on and your in tyre scrape city!! :P but does lok damn good lol.
christ man! that is low, do you have specs and prices for this kit and a supplier? also are the rears fitted, i guess not?

The rear IS fitted and is on the lowest setting but as its stripped out and the fron is ridiculously low it doesnt look that low but it is lol.. you carnt drive the car except forward with it that low.Originally Posted by Davey C
I supply the kit through Raceworx its £650+delivery
thats a real good price..i can see you selling a few of these
i agree it looks higher because the front is so stupidly low. and i had forgotten your car was stripped out in the rear. sits the same sort of hight at the rear as the whiteline kit, you'll have to give a full report on the ride quality, that is a very competitive price too.
well that with the whitleine anti roll bars and castor camber kit i think im gona be onto a winner chasis flex is the next thing that will need to be tackled
too right mate, roll cage then i cant see there being much else to improve chassis/suspension wise
yeah.. hopefully itll be good enough to do the target of an 8 minuit lap of the ring.. thats the project aim now.
wheres the ring and have you done a lap in your previous state micra?
the nurburgring!! you must know what that is!!! :S
yeah never heard it called the ring b4 lol
lol oh well.. thats the target for the project
how do u expect 8 mins if u never been before? (im guessing u havent)
what sort of cars do 8 mins? standard ones
i dont expect thats the "AIM" f the project itll take along time of preperation to get it down to that its not somthing i just pluked out of the air.... itll probly take most of next year learning how to drive the car and setting it up before im confident enough to even attack the ring at medium pace..
maybee i didnt make myself clear,,,how can you aim for 8 mins?
e,i what are you compairing to
i havent seen ANY times from the ring at all from any car so i dont have a clue
its pretty easy to estimate times at 1/4 for example ,,but the ring? if you have never been round before how did you know 8 mins would be a good time? it could take 25mins to get round for all i know,,,
what sort of cars do it in 8mins
Wow! Thats about as low as mine go! Get a mesurement if you can man!!
extencive modified porches do it in 7mins or less the record is a radical its in the low 6 mins
mine could do it in 8:59secs and ill clas it as a win!! lol
the skyline z tune does it in 8 i think
not a bad target then!!!
Ford transit van made it in 10.15 (ish) if you saw top gear! (driven by test driver
Clarkson did 9.59 in a Jag
Well my nice shinny short shifter arrived today (cheers mike) so i stuck that on the car aswell as finally getting round to sending some bits off to ge the blanking plate and outlet pipe made up!! iv been saving money as there £178 to be made in total!!!

Nice one mate. Very impressed with the progress.
