hey all i have a facelift Xreg 1litre micra. mod wise its got a k&n panel filter with the cold air feed unplugged as its rubbish. This was done basically to stop it sounding like a metro:grinning:
My q's are:
1. I have spaces for fogs but no fogs. are they pre-wired?? so i can just buy some and fit them?
2 How much difference would a proper k&n cone make with a cold air feed and how much is this gona add to insurance.
3. Today i helped hit an exhaust (cat backwards) for an astra. I hear janspeed do one for the micra, but will it still pass the MOT as no cat will fail surely?? also how much diff would changing the manifold make?? when i first got the car i had to have the sensor replaced several times as it kept going off as im weary of tutching the sensor ever.
4. i want a nice sunstrip?? the car is red if that helps
5. i have no alloys any ideas for some nice ones?
im 18 almost 19 and insurance is in parents name with NFU how much would any mods put it up?
ive heard new cams would add HP and also obviously a turbo would. but im at uni im not rich
A long post i know but I have no idea what would work well and what wouldnt and what is or isnt worth doing.
the micra is a great car and its been great for reliability i nthe 18months ive had it, i just think it looks a little boring as it is.
many thanks:k11motors
EDIT: forgot to mention. i have an exhaust that bentds down rather than one that sticks out horizontally through the back bumper and looking as the jansped backbox it doesnt look like it will fit??
