Hi guys

This is a blog on my 1.3lx Micra, named Dolly, bought her for £550 and have owned for over a year now. Modifications have been slow, but they are on their way.

Think you need to post up a spec. and some more photos

 

[henryb102]

Yeah this will all be sorted tomorrow, refurbing alloys too! Pics are on their way!

 

[henryb102]

Right, here's some pictures of the induction kit fitted (loud, brings a smile to my face!) and the Smiths racing alloys! Enjoy

Curb scuffs and oil marks!
2 sanded and primered (1 coat pictured)

looks good, reminds me of my old micra lol you need to clean up the engine bay and maybe get a new fuel filter looks rusty on the top

 

[henryb102]

Nah it's brand spanking new, orange on top!

Courtesy of Mr Craig Taylor, the "trouble" arrived in the post! 4" bore back box! The sound is incredible, and is thoroughly addictive!
Enjoy--

Irrelevant to my blog--but I came across this at work!! Didn't realise how much fun these 1.0s are!!

UPDATE UPDATE! Getting a free yes free set of GreenStuff brakes for her tomorrow!!

 

[henryb102]

Well, what can I say, one helluva car is coming to an end, had difficulties getting it into reverse, 4th and 5th, and this probably means spending big bucks on fixing it, but the time has finally come to say no more spending!! Been a helluva car, things were starting to come into play with the mods etc, but fate has her own way of telling you to stop! GUTTED truly am, hope to return to the forum with a newer car soon.

R.I.P DOLLY

UPDATE!!!

Plans to start road rallying seem to have come about, therefore the brakes will be fitted asap, guy at work is sorting out a bucket seat for free, and going to look at a new gear box!
Meanwhile...

Cool, good luck with the road rallying (Y)
Do you plan to upgrade the suspension, fit sump & tank guards etc?
I have dimensions to make a sump guard give us a shout if want them and i'll send them over.
Chers.

hey mattjo, that would be great, my email is [email protected], i'm busy until friday so i'll have a gander then!! I'm leaving the suspension for now, just sorting brakes and tyres out, but tyres will come next year! New gearbox is my priority right now tbh!
