Does removing seats count as a modification?

No, although you should notify your insurer to be safe.

 

[McMicra]

I thought it would've come under "Interior Changes"

Both myself and iirc @skymera both notified insurers and got told they weren't bothered. If making more space in the back was 'interior changes' you'd have to notify the insurer every time you folded the seats down...

 

[Huggy444]

If anything it would lower insurance as there's less chance of 5 dead people...

I had this argument with my insurance for the mini. I have no rear seats and their argument was I'm more likely to be driving like an idiot.
Turns out it made no difference to cost after I read out a few pages of mods

thats why I always carry a tiny bright LED torch in my door pocket

also with people carriers with those IKEA-like folding removable back seats. can u imaging ppl phoning insurance at peak rush hour every time they fold the seats for school run, shopping, gardening, etc lol

 

[h701micra]

Don't forget the tip runs and the furniture removal services us people carrier people offer

 

[Pritchard]

Nom fuel only brimmed it cos iv got a light out and carnt see me gauge when it's dark lol

Yeah I like that where I have the seat the back is in line with the B-pillar. I also like that my roof is lower than both the 4x4's wing mirrors!

 

[jada555]

Changed the spark plugs. And did some work to get cold air intake.

 

[Chris Huzzey]

well the only thing that will be in the back will be my sub and i always put a cover over it anyway when i leave my car but make it look like theres a load of rubbish under it haha

Just a question - were the SR's continued into the facelifts ? never see an SR in facelift style.

 

[Huggy444]

Nope, stopped after 98 I think?

 

[McMicra]

SRs stopped in 98/99 like huggy said, changed to Si's for 1 year in 2000 then stopped I believe

 

[davyboy]

Thanks boys. did they do the blue/green dials in the Si's ? Can you swap those dials into an Si if not ? I have an sr speedo ... mechanical drive in blue.
Just been looking at a facelift sport, colour coded steering wheel and interior .... looks good. Thinking of buying it.

 

[McMicra]

Yours will be electronic dials I assume davy, si's do have them as I got mine out of a 1.4 second facelift ( same as yours) s+ I think

 

[Dinky DK]

Thats strange, when I was first looking to insure mine online I put in the year (2003) n it gave me the option for an S or an Sr on every site I visited lol

 

[Shamalam]

Got some lows and updated my blog

 

[cgten]

Nice!

 

[Clodo]

That would be aaaaaalright... I'll give him £10 for the rear and find a front somewhere else...

...unless @MicraPRO or @Clodo want a new front?

Dann! Only just seen this x

I had the green si clocks in my old facelift GX .... Perfect fit x

WDID? Been defeated for a second day by the rocker cover screws

Half are mangled so screw driver is no good, tried to chisel the heads round and that didn't work, tried to chisel them off and all I managed to do was blunt my chisel =[

Someone lend me a grinder? haha

dremel cut a slot across the screw head and use an impact driver with a flathead bit

 

[McMicra]

These are things I don't have haha.

My access to tools is veeerrry limited

 

[Shamalam]

Use the correct size bit in the fist place is always a good start

 

[McMicra]

Im not stupid james, they were already slightly messed up and using the correct bit still didn't work, just made em worse

 

[Shamalam]

Here's and idea. You know that black putty ****, dump a nipple of that on the nut. Stamp with a wide flat head screwdriver, warm up car/wait 24 hours for it to set.

Should work. There's a bolt puttied to the floor in my local car parts shop, you can take a hammer to it and it won't budge.

 

[McMicra]

q-bond?

 

[Shamalam]

That's it

 

[h701micra]

You di realise this engine is in a garage on the floor

 

[Shamalam]

I did not, even easier then

 

[h701micra]

I did not, even easier then

Warming it up becomes an issue eh

 

[Shamalam]

Blow torches man, it'll be sweet

 

[McMicra]

If I had a blow torch I wouldn't need the q-bond though james :L

 

[h701micra]

I think it's still on Gumtree if you want it... he'll probably take a tenner....

Do you possibly have a link? X

I thought the facelifts were electronic to the speedo ? not mechanical. What year was your facelift ?

 

[Clodo]

My facelift was a 99 reg it was electric IIRC it was just one big connector block was a while ago I had it so could of been 3 connector blocks xxx

 

[Shamalam]

99reg is one black connector Chloe
