[MicraPRO]

Slight comparison to standard... best I can do till I get a tape measure out...

 

[MicraPRO]

And from the front...

 

[Enuo]

Looks about -40mm to me, at -75 I can get my wing mirror clean under a stock ride height micras wing mirror

 

[Chris Huzzey]

you got splitter lows so it looks lower aswell though

 

[McMicra]

its not like i have a really stupid fast car though so having it low to look good would be better... but rallyings so fun :'(

Story of micras mate.

I'v decided, don't care how long or how much it costs, iv got to have something even half as fast as LB was

 

[h701micra]

Turbooo !

 

[McMicra]

Isnt there a company near louth that do that? :L

 

[MicraPRO]

What drop have you measured from stock now?

Roughly 45mm off standard ride height.

Did Karls kit not come with matiz shocks?

Did Karls kit not come with matiz shocks?

Standard micra shocks mate with 35mm rear matiz lowering springs tbh any lower and it would be undriveable...
Need to roll my rear archs even with panhard rod adjusted its scrubing slightly on both sides.

 

[Enuo]

Oh right, didn't realise the springs were the same diameter etc. So roll the arches

 

[skymera]

Rear don't roll too well..

Karl did say he would post it up in the lowering guide after they sold lol
Yh ill give it a go mighty car mods style

 

[MicraPRO]

Well I say roll ill just tap it up with rubber mallet so its out of the way.

Use the rally technique Tom
Hold bar under arch. Push down hard on tyre to put pressure on arch lip.... get someone to drive forward slowly.... arch officially rolled
Usually used to reshape the arches after an incident in which the car won

I used a 2" pipe to pull my arches out.
Both quarters dented

2" normal jack handle will do

 

[skymera]

2" normal jack handle will do

Didn't pull them out enough

It was the case of "wait to buy arches and fit wheels later" or "fit them NOW"

Bit of a pig tbh but the curves do fit perfectly and then just a case of trimming to fit
Thank you that means alot its been 2 years of learning as I was a complete novice to start with and still am haha.

Its still knocking but its only the dust cover on the rear drivers shock still doing its job just an irritation lol.

Well thats a relief! You could try the sock and cable tie method to replace the dust cover, not exactly stylish but will get rid of the knock!

I jacked it up to have a look and the only moving part I coukd find was the free play in the dust cover...
I looked into just putting the micra dust covers on instead
But will have to wait till after crimbo.

 

[MicraPRO]

Just more pics for now

Ok guys not having good luck lately my car now wants to become an oven... by means of I get in turn the blower on to clear the screen and turn it off before I get too hot, but it wont turn off I turn the knob to off and it stays blowing like its on level 2 is this a possible heater card error or the control box... just another thing for me to check/ change.
I think the micra love is fading
