what did you do to your micra today ?

[will930]

looking good matt (Y)
i finally got around to repairing the bumper damage from when it was a cat C writeoff

and the damage from that cone at japfest right? hehe

i think you should loose the bump strips there too heavy and the badges and the centre of the grills

and the locks etc saves weight

 

[frank]

dont worry will, we,ve shaved quite a few KG,s off this week

 

[r-reg-sr]

looking good matt (Y)

ta frank, not bad considering road condition and er,, driver:wasntme:
Next vid will be in 9s hopefully. A low 8 is my target for the cg10.


How have you removed even more weight??

 

[frank]

How have you removed even more weight??

i,ll show you next time i see you matt :grinning:

 

[Shaun]

Fixed it.... By connecting the GOD DAMN BATTERY!!! :wasntme:

 

[baguete]

Removed some stuff from the SuperS to preparing it for the March conversion and for the bodywork/paint job. Discovered that it was a pre-loom for A/C, and a different bracket with a pulley replacing the compressor.

 

[joshbl]

Markbognor, you need to start making these instead of the pool balls (Y)

 

[r-reg-sr]

had a go at this 1.3 back box, probly from factory.

look'd strange to me from inside :grinning:
had no baffle cloth inside

so may have to do a straight threw and just keep the hanger brackets, grinder ftw, until molten metal starts landing in the wrong places :grinning:

patent pending :grinning:

 

[Daniel]

No soundproofing R-Reg? That is weird fwn. Definitely need to just weld a straight bit of pipe onto the midsection :laugh:

probably blew out long ago!

thats what happened to mine

 

[Daniel]

Bloody hell Will :laugh:

 

[will930]

yeah kinda ended up pulling it out as it was hanging about a foot out my exhaust looked stupid!

must admit though didnt make the exhaust any louder at all without it! the back box rattles a goodun

from the rust in it

 

[r-reg-sr]

probably blew out long ago!

naa they difrent 1.0's and 1.3 factory back boxes, i seen the normal looking 1.3 one bigger than 1.0 normal one
see the end pipe size

 

[frank]

fitted a pair of stock corsa rear shocks :grinning: as you can see somewhat shorter than k11, so keeping those springs captive (Y)

 

[frank]

wtf :suspect:

 

[frank]

try again :suspect:

 

[r-reg-sr]

franks misfiring :laugh: captive springs ftw :grinning:
hows the ride now mate ?

back box jobby, pipes attach'd so now i need more cutting discs to cut everything not necessary apart from hangers and get good access to the pipe to weld , got plenty scrap pieces to fill holes and that

 

[frank]

franks misfiring :laugh: captive springs ftw :grinning:
hows the ride now mate ?

damn MSC site is missfiring z fwn and i hav,nt tested it yet mate but it should ride the same (similar dampers, just shorter eh)

 

[will930]

i have a set of them dampers in my shed! never got around to fitting them but no need for them really

 

[r-reg-sr]

top man :grinning: if i knew this back box hadnt any baffle fluff stuff inside i'd have just put it on straight:laugh:

 

[r-reg-sr]

i have a set of them dampers in my shed! never got around to fitting them but no need for them really

might be worth a try

 

[will930]

well unless i cut my springs my dampers are fine as they are apparently uprated!

i have gone a long while without opening my bonnet! this is a mega +

ahhh right since after your fusion visit ?

 

[will930]

yup!

 

[r-reg-sr]

ok let me finish this patent panding back box and well have a meet up yeh?

yup!

ok cheers i'll let you know the place

 

[neilos]

Well, it was yesterday as well....

• Fitted rear sunblind

• Fitted front and rear numberplates

• Replaced washer pump as that had packed up

• Took out front wiper linkage as the wipers had a 'orrible squeak, just waiting on a replacement linkage from ebay

• New set of wheel trims too

 

[Low Rider]

Ordered more parts.....

As above I'm turning into a chequebook tuner at this rate

 

[essexpunx]

Took it for an mot, sailed straight through as usual and the mot man said "it's a little minter", now to sell or not to sell that is the question. :laugh:

 

[r-reg-sr]

this stick welder i am getting used to, the stick doesnt actually touch the work piece. it sort of pastes (ark's on) on the weld making it real good at filling holes,more practice should have me doing the thin body panels soon
have to cut off the rest of the unneeded back box pieces tomoro ,gun gum and done
first time welder so it aint too tidy but does the job !

:grinning:

 

[Daniel]

Nice exhaust R-Reg :laugh:. Need a sound vid when it's fitted (Y). Then a cat bypass pipe and a 4-2-1 manifold :grinning:

 

[r-reg-sr]

sorry forgot my manners :laugh: :grinning:

 

[baguete]

Ok, manage to make some progress about the March wiring loom, already found the CVT start inhibitor and reverse/neutral switches.

This two connectors are the ones you need to "work":

To bypass the CVT inhibitor, its just a matter of joining the two wires on this connector, make sure its thick enough:

To enable the reverse/neutral switches, use this connector:

Use this diagram to make the right connections:

That wiring diagram is from the gearbox connector, on my pic is, front left to right on the upper line to lower line:

6 - D
5 - Ds
X
3 - Positive
X
9 - N
8 - R
7 - P

So, you just need to join the pin #3 to both switches on the manual gearbox and join each of the other wires to pin #8 and pin #9 on the auto loom, in correct order.

Hope this can be helpful.

 

[Shaun]

Managed to install one yes ONE extended stud today. getting them out wasn't the problem. winding the new ones in is very time consuming took me almost two hours to do just one!!
Wheels looking tasty now though and there is gonna be some thread left for spacers too! (Y)

Sorry for the Cheapy iPhone pictures...

Thankyou but i have already seen this video and many others... i will try the freezing method and have another go tomorrow the more i can do the better otherwise it's £100 at a garage.

 

[Daniel]

[Daniel]

That's ridiculous :laugh:. Definitely needs to be completely straight through now though :grinning:

 

[airmike]

Do you have a pic of the finished muffler? And did you put any sound insulator inside?

 

[will930]

went to remove the new afr gauge that stopped working already and decided to remove remains of aierial and alarm system ready for new one!

ended up removing the dash and all the surrounding parts heating system and everything!

removed the sound deadening and bits behind there and done the dim dip bypass that joe had made a very simple guide for!

 

[r-reg-sr]

That's ridiculous :laugh:. Definitely needs to be completely straight through now though :grinning:

yeh no cats now at the minute knocked em out few weeks back

 

[r-reg-sr]

Do you have a pic of the finished muffler? And did you put any sound insulator inside?

muffler? sound insulater inside?:grinning: what are those

 

[Daniel]

Yes R-Reg, straight pipe ftw, eh? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

 

[airmike]

muffler? sound insulater inside?:grinning: what are those

I was talking about the back box and if you put some kind of insulator around the straight pipe to stop it from resonating to much?

 

[r-reg-sr]

Yes R-Reg, straight pipe ftw, eh? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

its nice and quite really as it's the standard exhaust/mani straight :laugh:
motorway run earlyer, straight nice up

I was talking about the back box and if you put some kind of insulator around the straight pipe to stop it from resonating to much?

 

[r-reg-sr]

resonating is exhaust noise

nothing wrong with it
now these speed humps are fit for 4x4's only so making them illegal for street cars :grinning: ilegality

 

[k11_whore]

Well wasnt today but yesterday i locked my keys in car :sigh: managed to get a video today as was dry, its stupidly easy to break into my micra without keys check it out http://s1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/k11_whore89/?action=view&current=VID-20110813-00006.mp4
