Adams Micra Blog

[micras69]

just had a look through your blog, car looks spot on! nice and simple but effective and not ott (Y)

Haha, i wanted to get a quick release boss aswell but the it would be on my face lol, ill just have to live without! but there so cool

if you want to use a quick relice you could play around with the runners on the seats to alow you to move the seat back a little more so the wheel isnt in your face?

 

[-AdaM-]

The splitter is off a laguna

And unfortunately i already have the runners as far back as i can get them, im 6ft something and im still to close, i need to get proper side mounts but its getting the money for them at the moment as ive just started a new job and dont get paid untill the end of march

Yo Adam,

[-AdaM-]

Been at my dads garage all day today and made some good progress

Smoothed off the letters on the rocker cover and primed ready for a proper coat of yellow

Smoothed and filled front and back Super S bumpers!

Primed Bumpers

[pjg1979]

Great Job Adam, I was thinking about doing my rocker cover, but I want to get a new gasket first as oil is seeping through. I don't think yellow will go with the blue piping, then again I have put yellow and blue lights in my headlamps, lol.

 

[-AdaM-]

Well im hopefully going to be getting black pipeing, or just wrap black electrical tape round the blue stuff lol

 

[-AdaM-]

Rocker cover now painted in yellow, will be doing a black stripe down the middle (where the spark plugs go) tomorrow

i like the smoothed bumpers , you should have taken the driving lights out. im gonna be doing my super s bumpers any tips and advise on how to do a good spray job? did you use a spray gun?

preperation is the main key.

dont throw loads of paint on.

flat the primer properly.

always use a sanding block

failing all, bring them to me and ill do them you manny. iv'e got experiance from working in a bodyshop

 

[-AdaM-]

im going to have the fogs on a toggle switch ( i like switches) so i wanted to keep them.

errm yeah lots of prep work, i used a spray gun but im not too sure how good a job its going to be.
Rocker cover was done by rattle can though and thats got a good shine on it at the moment, more updates on that tomorrow!

 

[pjg1979]

Ha ha, another man you likes switches, lol. I can't get enough of them, I've got a draw full.

[-AdaM-]

[Manny]

1.3 engine sounds good. have you finished painting the super s bumpers?

 

[-AdaM-]

unfortunately not yet, shall have them done very soon hopefully just trying to find time to do it. i cant find the brackets i got with the bumpers when i bought them, do the normal ones still fit or do they have to be the super s ones?

Adam

 

[-AdaM-]

New pedals

Still got the clutch pedal to do when i can be botherd!

 

[Manny]

Adam

Ive had two super s bumpers the first one fitted without a problem the second didn't fit properly i forced it to fit. maybe depends when they were made. the pedals look good allways wanted to do this but never got round to it.

 

[joesouthgate]

You need the super s bumper blocks as they are shaped around the driving lights, the normal ones won't fit.

 

[Manny]

i think the pods are slightly smaller best to get some from a super s to avoid problems later best bet.

 

[-AdaM-]

ive got them somewhere ill just have to mooch around lol

 

[Manny]

Ive got them somewhere ill just have to mooch around lol

get them found then. you may also find that the bumper toe cover want fit properly because the toe hooks on the super s are different. problem what i had.

 

[joesouthgate]

Yer you can unbolt the towhook from a super s, its 3 bolts iirc

 

[joesouthgate]

i think the pods are slightly smaller best to get some from a super s to avoid problems later best bet.

As i said they are shaped arund the driving lights, they are exactly the same but with I bite out of the corner basicly.

 

[Manny]

i think theres 5, 3 at the sides and two underneath.

 

[pjg1979]

[Guy]

[-AdaM-]

Very happy with it

Got a few plans for it at the moment, mostly swaping bits over from the old one to the new one! like coilovers and the full system! but can tell the differance in power already!

 

[-AdaM-]

Decided on a colour scheme for the car its going black and orange

So i repainted one of the rocker covers i previoiusly had and started work on the front strut opinions on the colour?

 

[alexzaki]

Looking good mate (Y)

 

[peposhi]

[-AdaM-]

Both rocker cover and front strut brace are now painted orange ready to go on the car :grinning:

 

[LifeOfALegend]

I like the black and orange, love the new car was wondering when someone would buy it!!

 

[Alexx117]

always wanted to go black and orange with that car but didnt have the balls lol, good luck mate!

 

[-AdaM-]

Done a few change overs on the car since last week!

Changed the suspention from the 55mm hol springs that came on the car to the d2 coilovers i had on the previous car

put the quick shift leaver from the old car on to this car too! swapped over the smoked side repeaters and painted the calipers orange..

What do you guys think?
