So, after reading blogs on the MSC forum for some time now (started with modded micra and then I was caught), I thought it was time to register and start my own. My Micra looks so dull right now... (In comparison to the most of the Micras here that is)
And, here it is: the swede's blog!
"The swede", you might wonder, "is he really a swede?". And, yes I am! Living in Gothenburg, Sweden and working at a bank. (Not a job to talk loud about these days, but anyway... )
Before I start modding there's a few things I want to make clear:
1. I am not a wizard in the garage. The only thing I've ever done is changing air & oil filters, sparkplugs and tires, so there will be no engine swappings going on here. :grinning: (Not for starters anyway) As I've learned this is a really nice community and I don't think Ive seen a single unfriendly post, I'm sure I will get some help from other members. =)
2. Because of nr 1, my girlfriend (who has actually paid the most of the car. :glare: It was however cheaper if I owned it and paid the insurance... So she wrote it over to me...) is reluctant of letting me near it. And I can't blame her. When I was to change the stereo in her old car, I just plugged it in, not realising that the cables didn't match up. That was when I learned that connecting the battery to the spaker output wasn't good...
3. My girlfriend (who I really care about, but also has a temper... :laugh
used to live with a guy that spent more time and money on his car than with her, so I won't be able to spend loads of time and money on the car. I also have to explain to her why I am making the mods.
These things influence how this blog will look like, because my mods will have to:
a) don't cost to much. (I've set a limit to 1000 swedish crowns/month. That is about 85 pounds) Hopefully, this blog can lead to tips of mods that doesn't cost to much. (I've seen that I am not the only one here that wants to mod his Micra, but has got a restricted budget)
b) be fairly easy (in the beginning anyway, hopefully I will learn things along the way)
c) be pretty easy to explain to my girlfriend... (or cheap enough for her not to care...):grinning:
Now you know what this blog is going to be about. I will soon post my first updates with pictures of my car and keep you updatd on the cost per month.
Money spent on the car in May: 10 pounds on MSC membership :grinning:
the swede
...ordered a central locking system and boot popper from rightclick.co.uk (like everyone else... :grinning. Began with that, since my gf always said "It would be great with a central locking system".
So she has already come up with the explanation to why I'm doing this mod... :grinning:
It cost me GBP 68,90 with shipping.
Money spent on the car:
May
MSC Bronze membership GBP 10,00
Central locking system and boot popper: GBP 68,90
Total

Left to spend in May: GBP 6,10 (feel fre to make suggestions)
