Well, I was looking for guides/infos about swaping the lighter 1L crank pulley but just found a post from @frank not recommending doing it: https://micra.org.uk/threads/pulleys.35269/#post-381333 Also well decided to clean the stock injectors as both @Ed from Fusion and Mark from Tornados say...

Some updates on what I gathered / left to do: Done: Gave the block a good clean with some degreaser and elbow grease Removed the old clutch and flywheel on the CGA3, Removed the heavy AC models specific alternator bracket plate and pulley. Gave the MAF a good clean Bought or found in my spare...

Paul, funny how the answer you gave in the previous thread is exactly the same as mine (even tho I didn't read yours before) :) Also talking about MAF sensor cleaner, dedicated sprays from CRC or LiquiMoly used to be widely available for cheap, now they're both hard to find and cost an arm!

New pair of rims is indeed always expensive: rims price, tires price, fitting price. Here in France officially you can only pass MOT with the right size tires/wheels, but depending where you go for the check, MOT guys will either not care at all, some will ask for a small tips, or will be super...

Try to unplug it like on the video below around 1min48: If that's the problem try to gently clean it first (don't touch the hot wires) with some isopropyl alcohol. If not, check the vacuum system at it might also be a leak somewhere.

Hi Fabrizio! These are the wheels. They fit and handle perfectly if you mount semi slick tyres like I did (Federal 595 RS-R 195/50), if you mount them and drive them with thick tyres it will indeed increase the circumference, and the chances of rubbing onto the wheels arches. I'm looking for 250...

Hi HyperDad! What mileage is your car? They usually tend to fail around 160 000KM. To check if it's the MAF sensor you could try to unplug it (from the loom side, with the plastic connector that you need to pinch and pull) if it then run a bit rough but doesn't stall anymore, you found the...

Could be interested if rust free !

Hi Fabrizio, I have a set of Almera GTI with excellent semi slick tyres on them that I need to sell. Where are you located?

Appreciated Maarten! Ryan whom did that video: also told me it was the best way, removing the whole unit engine+gb . I did order a set of BKR6 plugs a few days ago :) I will check if they don't turn too soot black after a few hundreds of KMs!

Tyding up some old parts stock I found an old shift knob made by @markbognor in 2010 https://micra.org.uk/threads/unique-brushed-satin-aluminium-gear-knob-with-allen-bolt-detail-%C2%A320-posted.43064/#post-449658 I did install it and it’s still looking dope!

Been trying to get in touch with Tornado systems for the past 10 days (phone, vocal message, email) but no reply from them so far. Their Facebook page last post is from March 2023.

Hello it would be nice if you introduced your car and posted a few pictures of it in the US. I've heard of another one in America. What are people reactions there when they see you driving it? IIRC you can import 25 years old cars right so it must be from 1998 or 1999? Check your PM box :)

Started to take care of the new low mileage 1.4 engine whom will replace the old 180 000KM 1.0 one. Unbolted both the flywheel and clutch (the cheap fake Makita electric ratchet clearly struggled but made it), checked the main seal, degreased everything, fitted a new NGK O2 sensor (engine came...

Yes exactly, I've been looking for a long time at some cheap ones sold at Lidl, but they are always sold without battery nor charger so in the end all combined they turn to be too expensive, and I'm not really fond of tools on battery, but this tool is so compact, lightweight and no hose, much...

Well, « randomly » passed by a an ad for a CGA3 with only 54000KM and impulsively bought it 🤦🏻‍♂️ New clutch, stock 1.0 gearbox and CGA3 might be fun after all.

I can see on your last picture that we have the same "Makifake" impact wrench Paul! Bought it with a battery and the charger for 30 euros shipped a few years ago, one of my best purchase!

Also I installed a cheap 7” Android double din stereo, mostly to use wireless Apple Car Play, it works great! Relocated the headlights height setting switch inside the ash tray.

Did some due maintenance on the front brakes: new discs, anti rattle clips and pads. Wire brushed surface rust and brake dust, Cleaned and regreased caliper pins. Only a few mm left on boht pads and discs.

Almost there :(
