Hey folks :) Its been a while! So, I figured Id get a new car the other day. The Micra has been fun and its such a great car and all, but the gearbox is making all sorts of odd noises and the paint is fading. I was looking at a Swift Sports, but its a little pricey and uses stacks of fuel...

Well, I havent been here in a while! My hub caps have fallen off. 2 to be exact. Im going to get rid of the other 2 and save them for a rainy day. Anyone got any suggestions on what to do now? Has anyone done anything interesting to their wheel after taking the caps off?

Hey folks, If anyone has a resistor card lying around, Id love to buy it. My blower has stopped working on setting 1 and 2 and 3 (full) it works. Its really irritating driving around with air-con on full, when its not really needed. Anyway, if you have a spare, it would be greatly...

Hey guys, My fuel pump has kicked it in. I recently got a tank of fuel from Caltex (woops.) and about 50km later, its died. Does that sound about right for the fuel to kill a pump? So im thinking, Its either the crappy fuel, or some sort of random wiring mistake. But the fuel pump is...

Has anyone colour coded the back plastics to anything? I noticed the back has 2 big plastic panels on the sides and was thinking they'd look pretty neat painted. Like black and silver (To match my car) Anyone done this before and have pics?

Hey guys.. Totally un-micra related, but Im trying to get rid of my 3G Party Time chopper bike. Its a real stunner. Not a hokey Kmart chopper, its a real one. Even I can barely reach the handle bars! Its got, Trip/speed computer (to see how fast you can go) Rear pegs (for carrying all the...

Ahh Ive had enough. Keep seeing Micras for sale at pretty good prices and all these fantastic Minis at cheap prices. Seems the economy is telling me to go back to the Mini! :< Would really love to have a Mini. The Micra is great but i only gotit because it looked like a Mini. Getting a remot...

Has anyone seen Pimp My Ride - UK? Just flicked it on now, and having been an un-devoted fan of the original, I must say, the UK version is terrible. A skinny white guy that looks like an IT consultant is the host, whos name is "Westwood", tries desperately to be like Xzibit. Anyway, Im...

Hey, Just after a couple opinions on a 2 stroke engine's exhaust gasket. Its a 49cc pocket bike that goes like the clappers, but could do better because its got a leaking exhaust gasket. Gasket looks fine but you can feel the ait shooting out the sides. Do you think some standard gasket paper...

http://www.gizmag.com.au/go/6104/ Its an old article, but its a hybrid BMW Mini, with 4 electric 120kw engines on each wheel. That means a 480kw 4 wheel drive Mini. How freakin awesome would that thing be to belt around the track! Just imagine ramming in some QED motors in the stock Super S...

Installing seat covers on folding seats Ok, sure, you can slide a seat cover over the chair and away you go. But what about when you need to get into the back? Fumble around with the slider with the seat cover in the way? NO THANKS! Heres a little obvious tip on installing seat covers...

Howto: Change Standard Air Filter This is a small demonstration on howto write a howto! Lets change that grubby air filter of yours. According to the Service charts, every 20,000km you should change your air filter. Another good step, is every oil change, check the felt particle catcher in...

You might have heard by now, Steve Irwin was stung by a stingray in the chest today. He didnt survive. Just wanna say a big thanks to a top bloke for being so damn cool. I'll miss ya buddy!

This is pretty silly, but my parents just came back from UK and spotted a couple Micras for me. :) Even too some pics! Check out this black one. Hottest stock Micra ive seen.

Just throwing an idea out there, Has anyone had a gas conversion on their Micra? If so how much? The government is giving us a $2000 rebate to convert to gas. If its less than $2000 then im all for it.

Hey guys, My micra will have 200,000 km on it within a week! I feel so happy that its running so damn well even at its old age. But also sad that its getting old. So Im gonna give it a real good service. So far my checklist is (edited) 1. Oil + Filter 2. Air Filter 3. Fuel Filter 4. TB cleaner...

Anyone ever parked under a tree, then in the morning find it very lightly raining and a number of birds have pooped on your drivers side window? I have. This morning. The rain was so light that it wasnt washing off the bird poo, and because it was wet, the poo was wet too. As i turned on the...

Just watched the Italian Job (remake) for the first time on TV last night, and was quite impressed that those new Minis got thru all those stairs and still had pep to make it around corners. Im not under any illusion that they only used 3 cars in that movie as the original Italian Job used like...
