Purple nurple.

Loving the purple micras! liking this style as well, really need to get mine down, this looks the dogs bollocks riding low! Looking forward to seeing more mate
 
Now insured for my personal use, woohoo.
Serviced it today, slight chain rattle is completely gone, quiet on start up everything is back too how it should be.
I suppose the black crap that it was running on wasn't helping, especially as it was below the bottom of the dipstick and the amount of carbon in the rocker cover was ridiculous.
 
Bought a wakaba badge, not sticker.
Fitted my frank made manifold.
Waiting for bushes too arrive then car shall be nicely lined up.
Thought so far, faster than my red one... me no understand.
 
Well **** has hit the fan with family.
Dad is well and truly in hospital.
Still got my wakaba badge on.

Nope i can wind coilovers down so the splitter touches the floor then they get a bit noisy on corners, i like my tyres shove off :p Michelins are for teh grips not teh cools.
There only 165 60 14's
 
I currently use the car too get into a hospital with those stupid raised middle speed bumps and it already gets scary stuck on them.
 
More lows and fitted franks bushes.
Using the apprentice as my workshop slave, fed well on monster energy mind you.

Pictures of the lows when i'm back from visiting my dad at the hospital.
Using oil it seems, great..... Not quickly but its using it.
 
If you think thats bad i need to take pic of some of the things my boss has us doing,

I want this car :)
I've done it before and been told to grab an axle stand...now after hearing a local guy being crushed to death by his land rover on a farm using just a jack which failed, makes me think twice..

Vehicle maintenance and repair, not an nvq, basically the paperside to it. So when I work in garage next year I don't have to go college but only assessor cones out lol
 
Still very tempted too get a cheap engine too put my high compression set-up in... Why does no one ever have an engine close enough or cheap enough.
 
It is but dad in hospital cannot afford too run 2 cars and i need space so consolidating both my cars into one.
