Hi all, I’ve always liked the K11 series of Micra’s. I owned a black 1.3 GX a couple of years ago & only sold it because it was getting a little rusty. I’d lightly modified it with wider 100NX alloys, a set of lowering springs & a strut brace – all of which transformed the ride & handling...

Hi all - long time no post! I had a 1998 Micra (black 1.3 GX) about a year & a half ago but sold it & bought an '02 plate Astra SRI. No reason other than I just fancied a change & I thought a bigger car would be more useful. Well I have to say that the Astra's been great & it's actually my wifes...

Just wanted to say how much of a change fitting lowering springs has made to my Micra - it's transformed!! The new springs - made by Spax & bought very cheaply (£21!!!) off eBay - were fitted by my local garage last week & I'm amazed by the change they've made. There's much less roll through...

Hi everyone, been a while since I posted - I've been happy with my ultra-reliable Micra you see so I've had no reason to post/ask anything. I've been looking for a GTM coupe recently - they're hard to find though & don't often come up for sale - I missed a great looking white one on eBay...

I've got a 1998 1.3GX & the gearchange on it is rubbish (to put it bluntly) :(! I'm told that this could be caused by the bushes/universal joint type thing at the end of the rod (that links the gear lever to the gearbox) being worn/distorted. I've replaced the little spring, that often breaks &...

Hi all, I've found a nice set of 14" Seat Arosa alloys on eBay & was wondering if anyone knows whether they'd fit my Micra without any problems? The pcd (4 x 100) is the same but will there be any problems with the bore - which is, presumably, the big central hole in the wheel that allows...

Hi all, just got a 1300 K11 & I'm considering a few mods - one of which is to fit a front upper strut brace. However one of the power steering unions (that's what it looks like to me) is very close to the strut tower & looks as if it might get in the way of a strut brace. Has anyone fitted a...

Hello everyone :) I missed this part of the forum & actually introduced myself here in the K11 section: http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?p=215566#post215566 But to recap I'm a 43 year old chap who's currently waiting for a phone call from a local car trader telling me that the black...

Not sure if this is the right section to be sayig hello or not. I have just bought (but not taken delivery of yet) a 1998 black 1.3 GX Micra with 77,000 miles on it, one previous owner (who, obviously, had it from new). Overall in good nick & comes with power steering, tilt/slide sunroof &...
