[QUOTE="Ihtisham Rauf, post: 795111, member: 29008"] So it’s been nearly 6 months since the last update… I still have the Micra and I still enjoy driving it to this day. Fortunately, for once, the Micra is not causing any issues (for now!). I drive it around 1-2 times a week for the odd countryside B road bashing sesh and it doesn’t disappoint. As I daily an automatic, it feels great to drive a manual every now and then. The plan is to keep the car for many years as I have absolutely no intention of ever selling it. I would love to fully restore it and definitely give it a full factory respray at some point. I really like the original turquoise factory colour. In terms of any plans for more mods, the only thing that comes to mind is maybe to modify the bonnet to help the throttle bodies breathe more easily (the car is noticeably quicker with the bonnet not shut properly), but other than that, I think my main focus now is to look after it and keep it running (for eternity ?). One of my favourite features of the car is the launch control and the pops and bangs map ; it scares a lot of people? I still need to take the car on a track day but the post-pandemic prices were more than what I was willing to pay so I am now waiting for Summer 22. Micra’s have a bad reputation in the UK as being ****boxes and granny cars but actually, they can be made very fun for cheap ? My family still somewhat despise me for modifying it in the first place ? (as it was meant to be a cheap runaround that would save me money in fuel, insurance and repair bills when I was 18), yet it now costs a bomb to insure, it gives 80 miles to a full tank and has regular repair bills? I’ll hopefully keep this blog going but who knows when the next update will be… To end this post, here’s a photo of the car and my daily. Thank you for reading.
