How much you looking for it whole? Whats needed to finish?

May be interested

 

[NeX]

this sux, is there really no way you can keep the car? even if you just have it off the road? surely if you are so hard under that you have to sell everything you own to get by then the government can bail you out (they did with the bloody banks!) remember that if you sell stuff, you get a short term gain, but long term loss. you might make a quick buck from selling your car, but a month later you will have no money again, except this time you will have no car either

 

[karlj]

Nex has a point, can't you look into things like hb, working tax credits ect?

 

[martinb]

This is so true mate however because of my "cars" I've ran up 2 6 grand overdrafts and had to do an iva,

I need some money but also in moving on from micras

I love the car but getting a little tired of it, the modding scene as a whole is very hard when you have no money let alone wife children etc

If I have any money left I'd be looking to get something at a later date

All this aside the car still has no mot, no tax or insurance purely as I can't afford it

Even if I saved up for mapping (which I can't) I still need at least 1k for insurance (stock Micra, let alone with turbo declared!) mot tax it's at least another 1700-2k before I can actually drive. It won't happen no matter how much I try I just can't

It's a real shame but hey that's life and I have to move on, it's been fun but enough is enough

Cheers

 

[frank]

that iconic beauty should sell with ease martin good luck mate (Y)

 

[Eire]

Price for full car as i may know someone interested?

 

[martinb]

Right in parts it's worth £1250

£1000 takes car as is

I will buy, fit brake hose and bleed if being bought

Please be aware there is damage on rear quarter and boot

No mot, or tax and you will need to apply for log book

Would rather see it sold as a whole

Thankyou for your kind words Frank

 

[Daniel]

This is too good to be broken up Martin, someone will buy it, I'm sure (Y)

 

[TheSam]

I love this

 

[will930]

that is a mega bummer mate so sad to see you having to go through all this again! in a few weeks i was going to ask if would help me swap all my running gear to the 1.3 for some money! more fun with someone and i dont care much for being gorped at by pikies!

if theres anything i can do to help mate let me know! its a real shame to see this car go and i sure do hope it doent get broken up!

sure i understand, but why such high insurance? you are 26 it should be pennies? my insurance on an import at 21 was £400, and thats with two speeding fines as well.

i am confident that it will sell as a whole, it looks like a great car and a nice project for someone. try not to break it if you can help it because i think someone will buy it. that guy sold his 2.0 micra on ebay for like £2500 or something crazy, so yea i think you will get the money for it.

though if you split it i might be interested in parts, so either way you will get the money. i was just thinking that you might want to find other means to your cash problem to save the car, but if you are loosing interest in micras then maybe its for the best.

 

[peposhi]

Martin, for sure you'd sell the whole car. It'll be shame to brake it and waste all the work and hours you've spent on it! Good Luck with the sale and would you not try selling on ebay?!?

 

[Shaun]

Still can't believe this.... should make a facebook page and get the whole world to donate just £1 to save this car... :wasntme:

 

[martinb]

ok to keep things simple id rather sell as a whole

i think its fair that the whole of the uk can see it to so its on ebay for now as a 'car' to buy

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2208435215...84.m1558.l2649

if it doesnt sell and theres no offers ill break it

there are no dibs i dont believe in that as its not fair on people with the money waiting etc

as stani did ill list it all up on ebay with starting bids and let you lot sort it out between you

hopefully it stays as 'one' and can continue and slay some saxos lol

cheers all

Link doesn't work for me....

Good luck with the sale Martin! :down:

 

[davey1991]

Its such a shame i need to find £1000 immediatley...

 

[martinb]

If I can find some money I'd keep it

Non turbo mean no map

Non turbo means no higher insurance

Non turbo means less flunking about

NA means no map (sorry Ed)

NA means cheaper insurance

NA means simple ie Franks cars fast but free if you like

I will be gutted if it sells

No one bid lol

Need to buy a new family car we have £0 saved

She wants a 51 reg 5 door olop (polo)

Polo costs £1300- £1500

Her mondeo worth £1000

If I was to keep it I need to find money to add to buy polo, cancel her ibsurance £150

Plus buy new ibsurance

If every one wanted something done to there car for cheap I could afford it otherwise I got to get the money from somewhere

???

Ideas please

 

[markbognor]

With out wanting to get too deeply into your domestics - why does she have to have the Polo, is it payback for the time and money you have put into toys over the last couple of years?

Staples do pretty cheap business cards - could you get a few hundred printed then go out on your bike and put a "micra man" one under every micra you can find? It means investing without garunteed returns but its got to be worth a shot.

Couple of nights a week in a bar?

Sell your body?

Wash windscreens at traffic lights?

Busk?

Paint yerself gold and stand on a box in the town centre?

Good luck Mart, I hope it works out and things are looking up soon.

 

[karlj]

why not sell all the turbo stuff and all none standard interior parts and turn it in to a sleeper, sell the mondeo and have only one car

marks idea about the business cards could be worth doing

 

[davey1991]

Yer surely selling the turbo stuff would get you the money you need?

 

[frank]

Yer surely selling the turbo stuff would get you the money you need?

then ghetto N/A martin (Y)

 

[Stani1029]

Id paint myself gold and stand on a box lol tbh you should flog your rare parts and turbo kit. When i need money i go digging in my garage for stuff to sell or look around the house.

 

[martinb]

We got a 2002 mondeo 2.5 v6 as the family car, it was cheap after the mgzr has to go

Great car exept it's a v6 and eats juice, I'm not exaggerating either about 18 mpg around town!!

So with the fact that the insurance is £176 per month!!! It's got to go....

The polo however is a pretty good little car and pretty safe for her and my kids

As much as it would be practical to own another Micra (maintenance petrol insurance etc she just won't

She hates them lol

I have to sort this guys

I've made up leaflets mark, the ones I posted on last page, printed them and put them under at least a hundred

Not one call

Doing peppers clutch soon but I need more

I can sell the turbo kit no problem

Bride seat and wheels has to stay

I would rather actually drive it than it spend it's life in the garage

Can't even afford to mot though

 

[martinb]

Also sharing a car isnt an option, she likes soft suspension and comfortableness lol

 

[MICRAMON]

What she likes and what she gets are two differant things lol! sell the mondy as 18mpg is rediculous and keek this. money saved ina month with have you your mot and everyones happy ish... lol

 

[karlj]

Also sharing a car isnt an option, she likes soft suspension and comfortableness lol

so does my missus, but the way i see it, it's my car so she has to deal with it

 

[martinb]

Guys I've got 2 small children they ain't getting in the car full stop!

If and when the mondeo sells then we will look into insuring mine

I'm really not in any position to insure mine as it's only needed to mess about in

 

[Shaun]

Give up on the turbo then buddy...
go extreme N/A like frank... it's the route i'll be heading anyways and can always give you some work like my cam chain soon

 

[karlj]

You have the bits to go N/A like franks

If you weren't so far away I'd have a little work for you as well

 

[Stani1029]

My girlfriend likes micras, never complains as its part of me. Heck i convinced her that dave bulls almera would be a good daily (so took out a BIG loan) biggest regret of my life!

If it ever come down to it my car will go without thought if im struggling financially

 

[martinb]

No bits for NA

Gave it all to noddie as it was just stuff in the way

Selling the whole car will give us cash in our pockets etc and money to do her car

So £350 from kit is all I have if I can sell it need £150 from some work somehow

Stani I totally agree with you, priorities first , kids wife bills

ALL my monies on that every month

To me it's worth a lot more than just a grand in sentimental value

 

[will930]

wanna help me change my running gear mate? few weeks time?

 

[martinb]

many thanks

 

[martinb]

After much thought and discussion I've decided to keep the car and sell the turbo kit,

Yes I apologise for wasting people's time and realised I couldn't get rid of her

I made the mistake of selling the White one....... not again!

This does mean some serious back steps though and back to NA

But if the turbo stuff sells I still can get the money I need and keep my car at least

After removing all the turbo stuff I can't actually put it back to standard as I don't have the stuff anymore !?

Which means without spending money I have to create a driveable Micra

Scopez has kindly donated/sold me the ga16 4-2-1 stainless manifold and I needed to get it to fit

Armed with a angle grinder and my welder I set to work

I temporary did the first port but will cut off now I have better pipe i found in the garage

Here's how the manifold looks as normal

Made some cuts

What came off

How it looks on engine

The work area lol

Had to make the engine as level as possible to imitate stock position, used various bits to prop it up

First one tacked into place

2nd port measured and cut

Will cut of first one and use the better stuff

Starting to take some shape

How the car looks at the moment

Closer look

One almost complete joint

I'll finish it soon enough

 

[karlj]

Glad to see you're keeping it (Y)

 

[sr20bud]

yeah sweet choice mate its always hard selling/breaking a car you like. nice work on the ga mani (Y)

 

[MICRAMON]

W00P! good to see your keeping it mate, its getting some love on edition38 too ;-)

 

[Daniel]

Happy to see you're keeping the car mate, good choice - as you said before, it's got quite a bit of sentimental value (Y). Good luck with getting it back to N/A, at least it'll be a lot cheaper to insure :grinning:

 

[martinb]

W00P! good to see your keeping it mate, its getting some love on edition38 too ;-)

Really ? Any links bro? Cherrs

It's the only thing I can di to keep it right now, never mind as Frank says ghetto NA

 

[Daniel]

Granted a turbo is awesome - nice grunt and turbo spool/blow off valve is probably the best sound in the world. But there's much more to go wrong, it's expensive (to fabricate and insure the car), and you can get a similar amount of power from a N/A engine with the right engine mods. Wasn't there a thread a while back where someone managed to get like an extra 40bhp just from stuff like a skimmed head, higher capacity throttle body, etc? Could always go down that route, and fit bike throttle bodies/carbs :wasntme:

Is this is mate

Wow minty fresh you even have the same lights as mine lol

 

[Noddie]

Sorry to see your not going turbo anymore bro but seems like the best idea eh. The mani looks like its going to be a goodun! Nice to see you still using that welder to good effect. Would be good to meet for a drink or something doom man!

 

[martinb]

Got some more done on the mani

Just waiting to get some proper e309ls again as these halfords mild steel ones are naff and just not as controllable

Almost fitted now though, just got to butter all the welds up and grind back smooth

I will soon have a brum brum again

 

[sr20bud]

looking sweet mate yeah those halfords ones are just lol

 

[martinb]

looking sweet mate yeah those halfords ones are just lol

Honestly all they do is just blow frigging holes!! It's hard enough to tack into place

Found half a 309l stick and did one complete bead covering Half the way round the pipe , absolutely spot on, no need to grind back or go over again

Think the halfords ones are sipweld/mate and really are just pants

Got 20 for £3.50 delivered online should be enough to finish

Once all is welded I can clean it up with a paint stripping wheel and it comes up like bling! Although I'll paint and wrap it

Bring on the hooligan straight through pop and banging noise

 

[euro_micra]

Glad your getting back on with it Martin, it's still one of the best even without the turbo or MOT. So is the Micra now becoming a sensible daily or is it still your bit on the side?

Oh and have you got a link to the electrode sticks? thanks.
