Yeah I know a former member had a Micra called Tic Tac but I did end up buying the wreck last year and some of Tic Tac's parts are in my car so I am going to make claim on the name!

Finally got off my ass and put the suspension goodies and wheels on this weekend. Even gave her a polish. Shiny :)

Mods so far:

Interior- Momo steering wheel, Autotechnicrap racing seats (actually they are pretty reasonable), Alpine headunit with iPhone intergration, Focal underseat sub, amps and Focal Front splits and rears, Series 2 LX door trims and series 2 'dark' plastic interior plastics

Exterior:
Non-Std tail lights
Advanti 15x6.5 Wheels
Custom Numberplates

Performance:
TEIN adjustable coilovers
Whiteline xtra heavy duty 22mm sway bars front and rear, Whiteline Panhard. Whiteline strut brace
K&N air filter

Ready to go on - Powersteering, N15 calipers and slotted disks, clear side indicators, crystal headlignts, quickshifter.

Future plan Dark tint,: Forged engine from White Knight and top mounted T25 Turbo (retain AC and PS a must), Ultralight FW, Alli Radiator, Autronic SMC, exhaust etc, etc.

This is perfect, great looking march. May I ask where you got the TEIN coilovers from? I thought they stopped producing them a while ago.

I bought the TEINs from GTRholic early last year and I have taken this long to put them on. The handling of the car is superb now without compromising too much comfort. Probably needs stickier tyres now.

The idea is to be nicely understated, I aren't even going to colour code handles or mod the grille. The only visible thing now will be black tint. Doing a Bad Boy bonnet is a possibility. I have a set of 16" ANZ Rio's but may sell them and stay with the 15s. The tyres only just scrub going into a hard fast corner. Not sure if I'll roll the guards or not.

Tyres are 195/50/15 but they really should be 195/45/15 to be most correct rolling diameter.

The front coil overs can drop much lower around 60-80mm more I guess. The rears could go down the height of a locking nut so I reckon only about 10mm more at the most. Depending on the angle you look at the car you could argue that the front is a tad low. Some 10mm wheel spacers at the rear would pump 'em out noicely too I reckon.

Please don`t badboy this beauty. Looks smooth as is.. ;)

Maybe just clear side repeaters to go with all your other clear lights. You realy should switch to 195/45/15 tyres of decent rubber and adjust the front height just a little, then your rubbing issue should go away without haveing to alter the arches. Looks better too.. :)

Agreed - personally I don't think it would suit the car, but it's up to you :)

Nice score with the floor mats. I scored some K12 mats a while back and while they are a little bit bigger, they're still quite a reasonable fit :) I've got originals in my other one and they're a little worn on the rubber bit.. ah well!
