yeah remember I said to you that on mine it did make a noise but only when clutch aint pressed and thought it might just be the bearing needing a little lube..if its as loud as you say then dont think its what I had..Ill have to have a listen when I pop down, but nothing to worry about mate, hows the clutch holding now compared to the stock?
 
Oh she's good man, no slippy sloppy slip yet :)

Well chuffed with it mate apart from my new noise ....

Yeah when you come over you can hear it mate

Just hope when boosts turned up and mapped it holds,

Does anyone know if there's a universal fuel rail I can buy to fit these 370 injectors?
 
Just read through your whole topic,and i'm soo glad you've stuck with it. Even though you got kicked down (on more than one occasion) you had your chin up and persevered with it! Definately a huge inspiration to myself and many others on the forum!

Thanks mate I appreciate your kind words they mean alot

No one else cares about the car except me and the msc :(

The fiancé hates it, mates think it's pointless and just a shety Micra !!

Everythings against me, no money, no time, no help from anyone except you guys and my very good friend scopez (thanks again mate)

Getting married in 6 weeks, only me working so I'm struggling to finish let alone keep it, I'm keeping hold of it though like a sheet to a blanket!

According to fusion site £420 I believe, fair price to be honest but along way from seeing that kind of money :(

Cheers again hooded mate
 
No problem mate :) If i lived closer i'd give you a helping hand same to everyone really. Sucks being out this far from everyone :(

£420? Hmm...gonna have to save abit longer/harder haha
 
thanks hooded :)

please excuse my outburst of extremely frigging cool parts!(Y)(Y)
 
do you think if i popped over to japan and filled up a shipping container full of parts like this then id have a good customer base, bearing in mind that the micra community isnt exactly swimming with cash, pointless exercise or worth doing? i have the cash outlay to do this,just need to work out whether it would be worthwhile:glare:
 
Even with the £ getting marginally stronger against the YEN lately, i's nowhere near where it was a few years ago. Having recently imported some parts from Japan, by the time they are landed, i.e. all duties paid, they are pretty expensive comared to the purchase price seen in Japan.

Importing parts from Japan is currently somewhat of a luxury with £1 = 136YEN and with most people here looking for absolute bargains, I would have thought the market would be limited to the older members. Saying that, if you are considering importing a lot, please let me know, as there are a few items I could use.

who cares , at best you will end up with heaps of cheap jdm tuning parts for your micra, at worst possibly nuclear poisoning follwed by a strong dose of cancer and perhaps an exploding liver, but hey, nobody said modifying your micra was gunna be easy, maKe the ultimate sacrifice seb, DO IT!!!!(Y)
 
Installed my new hydraulic jumping rear suspension today lol

Fitted exhaust back on, set fpr to 3 bar and set boost to 3 psi ;)

Feels like it's suppose to run like it,

Seriously cannot wait for this to be finish it's so damn fudging cool

Been re durning bro in-laws SSR wheels for him so he's getting me uprated fuel pump to say thanks (I hope) :)
 
I've always wanted a polished rocker cover since I've ever owned a car

My local "machining shop" wanted £100 to return it in a mirror finish

Waaaay to much money I thought

So with sone bits I had lying around I've done this today

Started with some gunk I had left over

b899a4e4.jpg


And cleaned it with a wire brush on a drill

f7e982d7.jpg


It came out pretty well from just that

57d5b645.jpg


After that I used an old polishing wheel and autosol

4a76b078.jpg


Started to come out really well, onto the other end

79adb0f3.jpg


Finished product (almost)

Looks pretty awesome!!

Old versus new :)

Will fit later with pics
 
Looks good.

I know i started doing mine ages ago, but quickly gave up. So i antiqued it instead...its got a kinda gun metal look to it now. Dizzy looks the best though as it still had the corrosion on it. A win for laziness, even if i do say so myself lol.

Be sure to put some polish on it when you've fitted it, should help cut down on the corrosion / oil staining / various crap that reaches the engine from the roads, stealing the shine.

I cheated as I used the drill, dont think it would have worked by hand aswell, I finish off between the letters later with a tiny dremel polishing wheel

I think you just got to go for it, Tis bloody boring though!

On too the block next lol

What sort of wax Shaun?

Im checking your blog now solarice for pics ;)
 
well i have just started polishing up these alloys and have read how most people instead of clear laquer just wax them.
that way there is no worry about the laquer peeling in future so i am using my meguirs body wax and so far the one that has been polished is still gleaming :)
So you could either high temp/petrol resistant laquer it or put some wax on there :)

wont find any good ones (iirc - been awhile since ive upped pics to it) :D Only re-did it a couple of days ago, so its got a darker look to it now.

Shaun my alloys btw arent lacquered tis only wax that keeps them shiny (well that and not letting them get attacked to much in between polishes), so it does work...cant remember the type but its purple/pink and smells like bubble gum haha.
 
Cheers for that guys

Been doing my bros wheels for his mr2 recently following this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxxG4A4OgHI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Although I used a flapper wheel to remove the curbed edges

55d20d5c-9b21-3c96.jpg


Then run through the grades if wet and dry

And get this :)

55d20d5c-9b47-c86d.jpg


They've come up well to be fair

I'll be doing mine after I've got the Money for them to be vapour bead blasted to remove the paint and clear laquer

I'll wax it up once done got loads to polish yet b4 it's finished

Get some pics up solarice

Also what's your real name so I don't have to write some sci-fi one lol
 
Finished polishing and did a few more

55d20d5c-6e2f-79b7.jpg

Worlds apart

55d20d5c-6e40-7d6a.jpg


55d20d5c-6e51-56c7.jpg

Pic: EngineBay

That looks mint kris :) when you can get a further away front shot, I find it funny how same car, same engine etc but different paths take you to complete different setups and looks!!

Would be cool to have all boosted micras in one place for a photo shoot :)

Oddly enough the cam cover should look better, if i seriously corroded it then reapplied the polish.

I've been meaning to take some pics of the car, theres a few floating about from local meets and on random peoples mobile phones haha...but everything i've taken is just a quick pic.

Funny you should mention having all the boosted micras in one place, i was thinking about that the other day...as i'd been looking over the chatter on MSC meets. Wouldnt mind having a spy of the different setups.
 
Cool definitely be up for a boost meet, somewhere where we can actually do something so maybe pod? Long way of for me though as I need mapping, mot, tax and insurance

All in good time though eh

Here's the pics

Looks pretty neat :)
 
That looks really shiny haha. The black will be helping enhance it aswell. (Y)

I've been meaning to goto pod, quite a drive for me but if i knew there was a big enough meet...i'd make the trip.
 
this thread is so much info and inspiration for the turbo pao its unbelievable, 1.3 should be in by the weeks end so i can then get started on the conversion.
