Another one bites the dust...

[CMF_Alex_B]

Hi all, long time no see...as you can see below, probably going to be even longer time and no see now, haha. I was rear ended by a large truck (tipper) while stationary at a set of traffic lights on my way to work this Tuesday. Car is a write-off, its creased up to the passenger door. I've been considering buying another Micra. But i think i'll be moving on, probably getting a small 4wd, suzuki or someting, not sure yet. Waiting for payout from insurance first.

If you see it at the wreckers or auction, here is the lowdown

1995 SuperS, A/C
225k, serviced every 8-10k since 90k when i bought it 4years ago
Has an SS250 FilterMAG still fitted to the oil filter
Front adj Koni's 100k on them
rear adj Koni's 90k on them
front and rear king springs
camber bolts (probably shagged)
castor kit
Rear panhard rod
175/60 ER592 Bridgestone tyres on 14x6 Rims
Interior in A1 condition, drivers seat lumbar a little soft though.
Clear side indicators
2in exhaust system
N14 front brakes
**Rear discs are warped**
**Bent up towbar**
Brand new RH engine mount
Nismo LH gearbox engine mount
No timing chain rattle when warm

I have some new and used spares that i'll put up for sale once i get another car.

Cheerio,

Alex

Sad news, another to the graveyard..
If u find out where it is headed (which auction etc) let us know.
I'll take rear axle and a few bits if i could get my hands on it.

sad to see but can i ask why there was a bike rack and tow ball on a micra. This would not have the torque to pull anything. Tis funny to see that. But sad bout the car. What is next on the list

plenty of power for towing buddy, lol you own a micra and your bagging them, so funny! Heck, i moved house with my micra! it never used any more fuel with mountainbikes on the back, its a shame but you move on, probably to a Suzuki Jimny, different priorities these days. Love the jetski pic!

that is the funniest **** ive ever seen, i love that photo... the jetski's bigger than the micra hahahaha

 

[CMF_tris]

can you by any chance remove the front bar before it goes to the wreckers??? its even the same colour as mine.... and the mirrors?

 

[CMF_turbo march-rolling shell]

blue is the colour of the sky.

 

[CMF_sikK11]

APPARENTLY NOT. I didnt think it had it in it.

 

[CMF_sikK11]

that is sick. Never had have thought that a micra could pull that much weight.

 

[CMF_micragirl]

Alex, glad to hear that you are ok, buddy. If you want to know about Suzuki Jimny's, send me a private message and we can give you the low down.

SIK? Watch who you are calling a retard, mate, because at the moment you are looking like one.

 

[CMF_Sean]

Negative comments deleted. We have PM's for this kind of thing.

Please keep it on track and personal comments to yourselves, we're all nice people here.

I actually deleted 5 from numerous people, I can restore them if you want to see them.

sikK11 - just relax, I only deleted them for Alex's thread and they were not all yours, however some were.

[CMF_Sean]

Alex's post was relevant to the topic title, stating he was moving on to the Jimny, I cannot edit, only delete whole posts.

Micragirl's post was relevant as she was offering advice about the Jimny to Alex, and as before I can't edit, only delete.

I'm deleting the rest of these posts, so please if you still have an issue send me a PM

Hi Alex, i am very sorry to hear about the demise of your trusty micra. I am glad you survived the crash unscathed, that's the main thing. Good luck with finding a replacement car that suits you. I have never owned one myself but i have always thought those Jimnys are very cool.... There seems to be quite a few aftermarket parts and specialists around for them. On the subject of small 4WDs i know someone who has a Diahatsu Terios, it's never let him down and he reckons it's great, might be worth considering if you need four doors and a bit more space ?. Cheers

Sorry to here Alex you had your Micra a very long time! does anyone no if the car is sitting in a wreckers somewhere if if someone else brought it?

 

[smidge]

cause we are ALL eyeing off that rear wing

 

[CMF_Tony]

I was thinking of getting rid of mine if i can get something a little bigger. What are they worth brand new from nissan?

 

[CMF_turbo march-rolling shell]

probably something spastic like 500bux... dont forget you'll have to weld up the holes in the hatch from the super s rear spoiler.. and repaint the hole hatch most likely.. **** that i say

 

[CMF_Tony]

I was acually thinking about that nismo one that you had!

Hi Alex,

So sorry to hear about your little Micra but glad to hear your ok. Like you I have not posted on this forum for a long while but I still enjoy checking in every now and again and seeing what everyone else is up to. I still remember your little beast when we all met down in Canberra for the Micra 10th anniversary meet (ahh,those were the days)

Good luck with whatever you choose to buy even if isn't a Micra, I know you will treat it well.

Regards,

Henry (M5)

Your joking,I use my Micra to tow my 10 foot boat and trailor. Does it easy. I had a tow bar fitted first thing when I bought my car.

[CMF_sikK11]

No i am not joking. I have never seen one. Several members have told me they do it very easy one even posteed a pic of it towing a jet ski bigger then the car. So no i was not joking but have since be told differently i never thought of towing anything with a micra. Tis why i have my hilux.
