I know what you mean. I've got just a bone stock grey dash going in for the moment, as anything fancy in that area is extremely low on the list.A black bolero dash be lovely in that if ur into the facelift set up
It’s way nicer
More than likely what I will do but, I'll class it as a cosmetic upgrade. That way I'll avoid any potential damage whilst the car's being worked on.Flocked dash is the way forward....
A yea I fully understand you it’s not a major thing on list at the moment, but would look cool,I know what you mean. I've got just a bone stock grey dash going in for the moment, as anything fancy in that area is extremely low on the list.

True but my motivation is to avoid any screen reflections, so flock or some Milano faux suede will be where I'll eventually go with it.A yea I fully understand you it’s not a major thing on list at the moment, but would look cool,
Personally I don’t like the flocked dash or parts thing
Looks tacky in my opinion
Shiny plastic is always a win
It will be yes. Just as soon as the weather gives me a chance to take it to my local guy to weld it inIs that floor mounted mate?
No. It's suffered from the usual rot. Front cross member, rear sills, rear arches where they appear to have been rolled a little or where the wheels scraped the arches. Rear spring cup area etc. Rear axle is also not that pretty eithercan you not sell the shell of the blue micra? seems a shame to scrap as it looks like a solid shell? (I might be wrong)
There's a few reasons. But the big ones are that my tuner is extremely experienced in calibrating Syvecs ECUs, I live very close to Syvecs HQ / Surrey Rolling Road and know the owner on a semi-personal level so, the level of support isn't something I'll easily duplicate elsewhere.What a really smart looking build, i love the way that some experienced members still have the micras and are now implementing modern day tech into them .
looking forward to following it along.
what was the main choice for the syvecs over lets say a link or ecu master ?
Sounds like a excellent reason to choose syvecs then ! I have never really looked into them much as they are not a well used brand here in ireland and I was curious.There's a few reasons.

It's also an extremely capable piece of hardware, with a solid track record that's capable of supporting some very big stuff and, if I ever decide to build something different, it will easily move on to another vehicle together with the fuel system, sensors etc with little effort.
Yeah. They're a bit ratty but fine for the price and how much weight they save over a standard tailgate.Looking well! GRP tailgate?
I couldn't quite get my head around how light those tailgates are, I presume you'll by fitting a poly rear screen too? I've been meaning to ask, what are the front wings you've got, GRP versions also?Yeah. They're a bit ratty but fine for the price and how much weight they save over a standard tailgate.
The bare tailgate is 3kgs and yes, it'll get a lexan window at some point. I expect the final weight to be about 7kgs, which is a lot less than the 19.6kgs of a fully loaded OEM item.I couldn't quite get my head around how light those tailgates are, I presume you'll by fitting a poly rear screen too?

I had the same when taking the bonnet to be painted, your man doing the body prep had more to do than he thought!Yeah. They're a bit ratty but fine for the price and how much weight they save over a standard tailgate.
