I have only replaced the back box with the "Noise Maker" and its not that loud. Theres no boom on the motorway which is nice. When loading up the engine at lower revs you get a lot of noise. Higher revs not so much, more engine than exhaust noise. Between traffic lights around town gives you...

I the end I just went for a Giz Fab Noise maker and left the rest stock. Really dont want to have to fight with MOT and sensors for minimal (If any) gains

When the car went for alignment I had a peak underneath and it seemed in pretty good nick ( besides the the rear axle being a bit rusty) My MOT is only coming up at the end of the year and I'm already looking for things that it will fail on. Those welds are almost pornographic. I love how so...

Dam So there is no hope getting this to fit ?

Thanks for this. I think I have been basing this whole thing off my previous car that had a tiny cat. So that may have been where the restriction was but the improvement was minimal. Never Knew there was an emissions test with MOT, thought it was just a quick look to make sure there was...

Hi Guys. My drivers side Seat Belt is half torn through. I have found a K11 Drivers side Seat Belt assembly for sale from a 3dr. This should fit my 5dr ? fact that its going to be in the B-Pillar and all? Thanks in advance.

If these old Cats don't restrict flow that much then I am going to rather leave it. Thanks either ways. If it ain't broke and all....

Thanks for this. I cant seem to find anyone who sells these decat manifolds. Ideally the plan would be to get a manifold with a cat look-a-like or the the cat cut out the manifold so as to pass MOT? This is a very ghetto solution but would it work and would the O2 sensor still be fine ?

Hi guys. I have a 2001 1.4 and I have rummaged through the forums without a clear understanding of how this is done? Especially for my motor. Most of the links in the threads about decats are dead too. :cautious: I simply cut the cat out of my previous 1.4 polo and got a straight pipe welded...

Thanks, I think I might just go to an auto parts store and get what I need, seeing as I'm going to need to buy some tools and a jack too. I'm new to the country, are there any particular part stores or brands I should avoid ?

Yeah good thing the bidding ran away from my budget. Only now am I learning the complexity of wheel sizes. I have signed up to all the Micra related Facebook pages and as soon as something decent comes along I will take a look. I think some preventive maintenance is first on my list. Were you...

Thanks Only now have I realized how little I know about wheel sizes. Fortunately my car has none none of mentioned issues in the video ( that I have seen so far) but I will be sure to keep an eye out. Currently bidding on some old BMW E30 wheels :D

Thanks for this. MOT till Dec this yeah. Service history is patchy with the last record in the book being 70K miles ( its at 94k miles now). I was told the last two services were done by the owner so there is no stamps, I want to believe that. Engine bay looks really good. I'm in the process...

Evening Everyone As of yesterday I am a proud owner of a very ratty 2001 Micra K11 1.4 SE. Its my first car since migrating to the UK and I am warming up to it very quickly. Basically just wanted to introduce myself and ask if there is anything I should look out for ( too late I guess seeing...
