Lack of updates recently. (Been away)
Finally got the Rev counter working. Got the car on the road on L plates, decided I'm going to paint my engine bay blue and do a blue/ black engine bay. Bought some sticker bomb wrap to do my grill. Not after some carbon wrap for my wrap around and wings.
Weekend jobs, passengers side CV joint (£21.70 from euros trade price) and radiator (£31.50 from euros trade).

What a bargain!!! Damn missed out there.
Looks like I'll be trying the polo 6n bodge lol
Good luck with them

Thanks man I need to get a adjustable panhard rod for when I receive them to make my car sit properly when I drop it and for added strength
Panhard rod necessity, mines only lowered 40mm and I notice the off-set I'll get one when one comes around.

Where did you happen to get your steering wheel boss?
Got it off a mate, it's a S14 boss but fits perfect
I'm sure you can get them on eBay cheapish any 90s Nissan steering wheel boss will fit as they all use the same spline rack. Cheers mate, soon to have some secret bits on
Are you actually putting it on show? Because I have thought about it numerous times but the paint in my engine bay is pretty good, plus I cant color match with cheap Halfords paint cause of my color

I plan on going with a black engine bay and doing a red engine with black pipes and that
Nice, they do multi coloured silicon pipes for Micras here http://www.boostjunkies.co.uk/index...cPath=974_30_520_533_546_868&products_id=2149 if that helps, or are you sticking with the originals? I want some of these for mine when I get round to it

Had a productive day today
Fitted rear light units off a 2002 facelift model as they look better than my 1997 pre facelift ones
I then went about fitting my front splitter off of a Astra g
I also fitted wind deflectors haven't got a pic as it was dark when they were fitted.
I then started to clean it out (again) and had a go at getting my drivers speaker to work with no progress guess that's a trip to halfords Boxing Day (sales) to get some vibe 6" speakers and cut my door card to make them fit.

My white Micra has that problem, driver side speaker does a varied amount of nothing when the stereo is playing music, but it does the beeps for the stereo when I turn the ignition off, Also, as a friendly tip, don't get the vibe speakers, they are crap, I have them in my daily..
OP
OP
My speaker worked until about 2 months ago, I was gonna do a full vibe or edge system (vibe because I have a micra vibe and edge because they the same colour as car haha)
I done the ones on my daily because I wanted to get rid of the originals for better ones, If I still had the block connector for the originals I would have put them back in months ago
Hello kieran, don't forget about the speedo I sent you back in October.
