yes where did u get them from dan

look suspiciously like some i sent with shaun for free which iv never recieved thanks for......

aint had chance to see you you coming to rising sun?

Is that a sealed battery, doesn't look like it? I think they need to be vented to outside the car to pass an MOT...

Edit: Too late, just seen its back to standard again :laugh:

no its not :s never doing the battery re-location jobbie agian....tbh theres no point, plus it screws up my wipers, and is dangerous.

 

[Retepetsir]

It's pretty safe if using a sealed battery and done properly

Well, at least you gave it a go!

[joesouthgate]

[squarepants]

[squarepants]

red bull oil catch can

 

[joesouthgate]

That looks very similar to the red bull exhaust repair I did yesterday evening

 

[squarepants]

basiclly now looks like this
flocked dash

and had a exterior re-spary in matte black

and smoked indicators

 

[Retepetsir]

Nice! JAE or not?

Was the flocked dash from a spray can?

 

[squarepants]

yep iam at JAE but the car aint lol iam going down in richmicratwista's or swipers new car.

 

[b47to]

are they the rover 400 side skirts ?

 

[squarepants]

nah these are tommos old civic EG/delsol ones.

 

[b47to]

where did you get the rear import number plate holder from and how much ?

 

[squarepants]

i got it off swiper for £30..there a ballache to fit! lol

done some little stuff...

D1 spec carbon gear knob. cost me £30

and a number 6 that antony gave me, so i put it on my windscreen along with a JAE sticker...

i went to buy a D1 spec quick realse boss kit so i could take my steering wheel off, but i didnt have engough altough its still on my cards to buy.

 

[Retepetsir]

Not sure the no.6 sticker on the windscreen is legal....but ok.

 

[squarepants]

lol should be...tbh its not my sort of thing, but ive always wanted to put numbers on the windscreen and rear window for some reason :S

 

[Antony]

i dont think the huuuge number 4 on the side of mines is technicaly legal either, but the copper i was chatting to yesterday didnt seam to mind.

 

[squarepants]

fitted my brock b2 super cups

 

[joesouthgate]

what happened to tinted side repeaters?
Brocks look ace (Y)

 

[squarepants]

changed my idea, it doesnt go with ''the look'' iam going for lol.

 

[Robert]

ARe those wheels 14s?
I'd be interested if they are and you ever fancy getting rid of them

Definatly needs frotn and rear splitters to match with the skirts though

 

[joesouthgate]

they look like 15s to me.

 

[squarepants]

nah there 15's.

iam getting a front splitter..a megane one, think it goes with the lines better than a laguna/espace one....iam not getting a rear one, dont like them it doesnt suit the micra imo.

 

[Robert]

Really? I find that the back sits wayyyyy too high, a splitter would help even it out a bit.

 

[solarice]

im with squarepants on the rear splitter...fair play to the people who do have them fitted...but i prefer the rear bumper as it is (on my setup at least).

 

[Antony]

yeah reminds me of the integra DC2 type r, or any touring car actualy.

the front scrapes the floor and the rear sits a little higher. agressive stance.

rear splitters make it look too much like a saxo..

 

[ronin_kid]

...it doesnt go with ''the look'' iam going for lol...

so what "look" are you going for then?.. 'JDM'?. 'Euro'?. 'Rat'?.

 

[tommo]

no he's copying my old K11, only in matt black

 

[squarepants]

so what "look" are you going for then?.. 'JDM'?. 'Euro'?. 'Rat'?.

JDM? then it would be a standard nissan march... :S

RAT nah looks crap.

going for a road racer/ track look..

tommo the only thing ive copied off your k11 is your side skirts and your k10 steering wheel and thats only because i brought them off you! lol

 

[TONEY]

and you copied my with the paint ha ha ha

only kidding i kept mine quite

 

[solarice]

the front scrapes the floor

indeed ...mines been knocked at least twice since i put it on lol...

 

[squarepants]

ive been choping out wires that are irelivent, like somthing to do with the rear doors (witch i dont have as mines a 3-door) and re-routed my rear washer pipe, and pass seat belt tensioner wires. so they now run down the drivers side sill... and now the passanger side sill has no wires and pasltic wire cover trim things that are annoying...so basiclly all wires run down the driver side...

also ripped out some sponge that was behind my dash, in the inner wings that i forgot to do when i had the dash lol toney re-minded me at JAE...had to get a coat hanger to it to drag it out. wasnt really any point in it, but i knew it was there and it got on my mind lol.

none of this makes any diffrance tbh..just gets them out of the way of the passnager. and rids of the carppy plastic wire covers on the pass side..

heres a pic of the stuff i removed...nowt special, but iam baord lol.

 

[b47to]

you know the rev counter you had wired up were did the wire go to for the pulse/reading as ive wired everything else up just dont know where this 1 wire goes also how did u wire shift light up

thanks in advance

 

[squarepants]

my shift light had a plug that went into the back of my tacho. it was rigged up to the ECU i think (prevouis owner put it in), i just cut the wires and ripped it out so didnt take much notice :S

done some more stuff yesterday and today...

painted my front bumper support bar, (as you can see it through my bumper holes) so did it white to go with the wheels.. also did my toe eyes front and rear, my panhard rod, and strut brace ends...also painted my dodgey alloy as the paint had cracked lol...i was gonna do more white under the engine bay, but wouldve looked OTT!

also whipped my pads out, they where down to the metal and fell to bits as i took them out! so just found some old ones in the shed, witch are close to metal...only temp until i can put some fresh ones in.
