    My first Micra

    Off a Van out the scrap yard, paid £4 for it :D. I've sold the Micra now and now have moved up to a MX5 (want to jump on the drift bandwagon!!). I loved doing my Micra up and do miss it a lot! but a local guy has had it and he's into modding his cars as well so hopefully it should live on! In...

    My first Micra

    Hi guys! been a while since I've updated the build. I got bored of the ally's on plus they looked a touch chavvy so I thought I'd go for something a little more suited to the car. Pretty much purely by luck (but mainly my best mate owning a garage and knowing loads of people) we sources to...

    My first Micra

    Right then guys, I know its been about 10 years since I updated the build but I've slowly been fettling away. Not done much other than strip the car out a bit more, fitted the bucket seats (need to get another harness for the passenger seat). Decatted the second cat on the car, fitted a deep...

    My first Micra

    Haven't uploads any photos of the actual car for a while so took some whilst the sun was out today :D also since I've last posted any photos of the car I've rolled the rear arches to give a bit more room for the back wheels (not that you can tell :(. ) New tow strap fitted; Worse for wear...

    My first Micra

    Yeah my car was up on a lift when I did mine. the bolts that hold on the rest of the tow eye are on the passenger side wheel arch about a foot up inside the arch but you can only get to it from underneath, it'll all make sense once you're under the car, just fiddly as hell to get to!!
