Hey guys, Finally convinced the wife to let me have a project car so I'm looking at buying another Micra to work on. Which ones are best for tuning and modification? I'm looking to lower it and eeek out any extra performance thats there. I'm just totally out of the loop when it comes to...

Hi there, I'm looking at returning to Micra K11 ownership after a year on the German darkside with a MK4 Golf. I was just wondering what was the best engine to go for? I'm looking at doing some engine and bodywork modifying, so I wanted to start with a decent platform. Cheers guys, Steve

Just got a pair of the aero blades, 20' and 18' and the passenger side is about half an inch too long. The wipers are the right size but the fixing appears to be in a slightly different place so it fouls the plastic trim in the corner of the windscreen. Has anyone else had this problem? Any...

Just changed the side lights for Leds, only to find that the sockets were all melted. Which is odd as they're just cheap 55w bulbs not halogen or xenon or anything funky. Then the bulbs themselves wouldn't fit properly LOL and to cap it off one was totally not working. Just not my day today...

Hey guys, I'm planning on replacing the CA10 in my K11 for a CG13, and doing the clutch at the same time. Is the stock clutch kit good enough or is there one you guys recommend? And is there anything that sould be replaced at the same time? I'm hoping to get the fly wheel lightened too, is...

Hey, After my phone sliding off my dashboard for the millionth time I decided to cover the entire dash board top (only the recessed bit) with a non slip mat. Has anyone else done this? Do you still have the stencil? I'm going to try later but I'll probably make a right pigs ear of it.

Hi guys, I'm mulling over whether to swap out my tiny 1.0L pre facelift K11 engine, the problem I'm having is I'm totally confused by all the codes for the different engine. Which engine do i have, and which engines can be swapped with the minimum of refabricating? Cheers in advance,

Hey peeps, Has anyone tried mounting a tablet pc or netbook in their K11? I've looked at some og the stuff online but they're a bit rubbish. It would be nice to use it as a combined media and OBD device. Cheers.

Hi guys, I've decided to start a little blog on my project. If you fancy a laugh at my incompetence then head over to http://projectmicra.blogspot.co.uk.

Hi there, Does anyone elses temperature control knob click as it's turned?

Has anyone tried the direct replacement LED lights? Im looking at getting a full set and I just wondered if they look good or not.

Hi peeps, I'm just getting ready to do a pretty major service of the K11. I'm looking to buy a new oil filter, does the brand matter? What's the best one to get? Is it worth putting bike oil in my gearbox? Also on the subject of filters, are the Pipercross/K&N direct replacement filters...

Hi there, I'm looking at adding central locking, immobiliser and an alarm to my Micra. I've found a complete system from Hawk, the Hawk HA-280 Pro. Has anyone actually used this? The complete package is only £50 and that seems very cheap for what you get, my worry is that it's too cheap if...

Whats best for restoration of the paintwork? I'm getting the beast valeted n the morning so I'll know more then, but tge paint looks very dull. Is it worth buying a buffing machine? And will a cheap one do? Or do I have to break the bank to get a good shine.

Hi there. Total newbie to 'project' cars. I've got a standard non-facelift 1.0l 16v K11. What kind of performance can be eeked out if it? Or is it more cost effective to just replace the engine? Cheers in advance,

Hey, Just a quick intro, I'm Steve. I've just acquired a '95 1.0L 16v K11 with a view to tastefully upgrading it, and hopefully avoiding the "Shed Of The Day" look. I'm a total utter novice but my work has a motor club that should be able to help with stuff. STEVE
