    Good backbox?

    Is this worth going for? Is it right that putting a bigger backbox on reduces the pressure, which leads to loss of power and mpg, or is the listing right that you get improved bhp? Universal Back Box Exhaust

    Rear Brake Pads

    Ah right, that would explain it. My MOT advisory said "offside rear brake pad wearing thin", which confused me! Cheers

    Sorting Dashboard and Doorcards

    I am new at this, just got a '94 Micra Wave, a Haynes manual and a dream. My car has some very scuffed door cards, and a small crack in the dashboard just above the glovebox (I lost my temper and hit it with something, didn't realise it would crack :doh: ). Any suggestions for how I could cover...

    Rear Brake Pads

    Am I being a total dunce or are there no rear brakepads on rallynuts.com for a k11, except standard replacement ones? If that is the case then why? I need to change mine, so thought I would upgrade while I was at it. Am a total noob to this, so do you only put improved pads on the front?

    Rally Style K11?

    That's something that had occured to me, and having looked at those pictures those micras looked raised if anything! Are you saying a sump guard would be a good idea in general or just if I lower it? Those pictures were excellent. I wish I had bought a set of those OZ wheels, but I've got...

    Rally Style K11?

    Well it turns out my new Micra has a bit of life left in it, so I'm going to start sprucing her up a bit. As I live in the middle of nowhere and spend a lot of my time tooling up and down dirt tracks I want to go for a rally look. I've got new wheels on the way, and I am eventually going to...

    K11 Lifespan

    Its sounds fine. In fact I recently thought I had a problem with it so I inspected it and it was in great nick (turned out to be some bracket on the exhaust had come loose and was rattling loudly). Thats the depressing thing, mechanically its sound and a joy to drive. The problem is there is a...

    K11 Lifespan

    While doing a 300 mile drive from County Durham to Wiltshire last weekend my Micra K11 did her 100,000th mile. I was very proud. I'm a bit worried now though that it's going to fall apart on me and I should stop spending money on it. There are some rust issues which need sorting, and I have had...

    MOT legal exhaust mods

    Cheers for that link. I was thinking a back box would probably be the best I could get away with. Those full systems on that link were classified as "Race", does that mean they'll fail the MOT? Also, what about janspeed manifolds, will they cause the car to fail the MOT?

    MOT legal exhaust mods

    Thinking I might have missed an opportunity here- my 94 Micra is currently in having a new exhaust put on, the old one having rusted clean through. Just wondering what MOT legal things I could have had done to improve my exhaust system?

    Priorities

    Cheers for the welcome everyone, I have written down the suggestions and I'll search the forum and see what's been said about them, try and work out what exact parts I would need (what size alloys/tyres, what parts of the exhaust etc.). The plug on the nearside headlight has melted but that...

    Priorities

    Hey all, first post. My name was supposed to be Dazed and Confused but I'm a moron and somehow managed to screw that up. I should't be allowed near a car really. Anyway, I have recently aquired a 1994 K11 Micra Wave. I picked it up for free because the owner didn't want to sort out the...
