Those Magnaclean filters are pretty great. We had one installed in my mum's house and the amount of crap it grabs of the system is scary! I rarely seem to post on here (just lurk a lot ahah) but needed to say the level of detail in this thread is amazing, as is your whole build. I'll go back...

Aha yeah Meredith, the name kind of just stuck. Her janky aesthetic is worn with pride! She's rough and ready but I'm proud of her all the same. Sent from my XT1562 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Failed an MOT... But not nearly as bad as I thought it would! Only needs new discs and pads, new indicator bulbs, and an exhaust leak dealing with. For a car as janky as Meredith, I'm honestly over the moon! Sent from my XT1562 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

I've always seen tyres as one of the few things not to try and save money on. They're the only thing in contact with the road when driving, so you really are best off getting something halfway decent. Sent from my XT1562 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Feel like I'm the only one who gets on with the chain tools lol But yeah, the oil filters seem to have a way of tightening themselves beyond belief [emoji23] Sent from my XT1562 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

The revs clocks are a right laugh [emoji23] Got an engine crane on order so I can get this engine build underway. To my absolute horror though, it's being delivered by Yodel [emoji45][emoji50] so the likelihood is it it'll mysteriously be "lost" in transit [emoji23] so we'll see what happens...

Used Meredith to the best of her abilies and cleared out the garage. Turns out you can fit a fridge freezer in a Micra quite happily [emoji16] you just can't see to your left while driving oops [emoji23] Thankfully the tip is only a 10 minute drive across town I followed a March there though...

I'd swap around all of the tyres, as then if the wobble moves, you can be fairly sure it's a wheel problem. Have you had the wheels aligned since owning it? Sent from my XT1562 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Scored a set of rev clocks off of eBay for stupidly cheap [emoji16] They were part of a lot with an ECU and ignition barrel, but I managed to persuade the guy to split the lot [emoji41] Installed them in Meredith for the time being, as it's not like the odometer reading is even nearly accurate...

So Meredith decided to throw a tantrum today and blew her tail light fuse, and then every replacement I put in. Something is earthing somewhere it shouldn't. Didn't have time to fix her tonight, so I've jankily bridged it with some wire and electrical tape [emoji28] Apparently I can...

1V on the right hand side light? Could be dodgy wiring earthing somewhere, dodgy relay connection(? but if the LHS one is working then I'm not sure), dodgy bulb/holder? If one of them is working, there's probably a bad connection somewhere along the line I'd have thought? Sent from my XT1562...

So would I be best off leaving the rings on the pistons and not trying to keep the rings and cyninders paired? The only reason I'm concerned with keeping the rings is I can't seem to find new ones online for the 1.0 pistons (or even the 1.3 for that matter). Am I missing somewhere really obvious...

Assuming I could do it without breaking them, would swapping the piston rings over as well help avoid any issues, or would it cause more problems that it's worth? ie, the rings from the 1.3 pistons onto the 1.0 pistons, so the rings are in their original cylinders (If that made any sense)? Or...

I saw one driving through town the other week. I had to do a triple take as I didn't quite clock it the first time Sent from my XT1562 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

I'm looking forward to being able to add them lol MSC just doesn't like me ahaha Sent from my XT1562 using Micra Sports Club mobile app
