[Jamie Sykes]

[davyboy]

Mine is 65k out as well - don't mind, I've got 4 speedo's...all different. I'm looking for a black speedo with rev counter as well.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

im glad iv got the rev counter now as iv found out eddie idles at aboult 1100 rpm cold iv been told it should be around 700 rpm

 

[cgten]

Mine idles about the same when cold. It goes down to about 700 after it's warmed up though.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

mine was going down stops around 800 rpm ish so not goner worry about it sounds happy were it is

 

[cgten]

Unless someone else in the know chimes in. In which case I'll need to check mine too!

 

[Jamie Sykes]

just checked in the manual and it says 750rpm hot so its only a little off

 

[Jamie Sykes]

current plans for the car
paint and mount the spoiler
new track rods ends
new tyres at the front
sort any rust out and tidy the paint up
sort he passenger side wing and remove the dent
colour code some of the bits eg mirrors
and a few other little bits

 

[Jamie Sykes]

more bits plus pics of clocks
before

after

and more added bits

motor came off a 2002 micra but the rear arm had failed and broke so i replaced it with my arm

 

[cgten]

When you say it failed, do you mean it broke when removing or it wouldn't work when fitted?

 

[Jamie Sykes]

the plastic broke even before i got there the platic ring at the bottom had failed so was useless to me

 

[cgten]

Ahh right. I'll keep an eye out for one.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

im happy with the one thats on my car the arm fits fine and looks ok need to bring it up a little so its not off the window like in the picture

 

[chrisuk2009]

1100 cold start, eventually when warm it drops to 550-600ish.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

mine stops around 700-800 ish after 10-15mins

 

[Jamie Sykes]

What mods that iv not done is there left to do apart from lowering and alloys

 

[Jamie Sykes]

 

[Jamie Sykes]

[Jamie Sykes]

[cgten]

I think you need to swap the smaller strips over. Looks good though

What keep the smaller ones or put the bigger ones on

 

[cgten]

The shorter one needs swapping from the other side. If you look for a photo with those strips on, you'll see what I mean.

 

[Jamie Sykes]

[cgten]

[Jamie Sykes]

That's the one!

The first option you can just grab off any second facelift at the scrappers, so should be relatively cheap.

The second set are a bit blingy for me, but they would look good on a silver car like yours.

I have the third set, so naturally those are the best

The fourth set will look really good if you tint the orange part red. Like this:

i do like the red tint on those lights but i like your ones aswell but dont really wanna spent £100 on lights

 

[Jamie Sykes]

i also like the preface lift lights aswell and will be cheap as chips form a scrap yard

 

[cgten]

Those preface March lights were only a few quid, some tint won't be much more. Better use flyeyes though, as actual tint may be an MOT failure.

The March lights I have are cool, but really expensive. They would look really good on a silver car though.
