With regards your dash lighting. I assume it will be lit using leds. I bought blue ones a while ago but they kept failing. This was due to to small a resistor value. It was OK for 12v but not the 13.5v that the alternator outputted. Therefore make sure the resistors are of the correct value before fitting.ooooooooh i know now, never heard of it before haha, when i get some dosh in my bank account ill be buying green interior light bulb and a dash and centre console conversion kit from bay of Eall the lights inside my car will be green, gonna be an alien car ahaha
what did you do to your micra today ?

I use a 31mm feston with a ball of foil wedged in the 11mm gap to hold the bulb in place.ooooooooh i know now, never heard of it before haha, when i get some dosh in my bank account ill be buying green interior light bulb and a dash and centre console conversion kit from bay of E
Has worked well for over a year.
Found an oil leak!
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to where it has originated from??

looks like a gearbox oil leak mate, so a shaft seal
Ahhh, cheers mate.. perhaps, contributing to the 3rd gear knocking out issue?
Imagine it wouldnt help mate especially if the fluids low. Looks like its being sprayed up the box when the drive shafts spinning.
PollyP (Paul) im sure has a guide on his blog of how to change the seal
OK cool, I'll have a gander. Cheers for the help mateImagine it wouldnt help mate especially if the fluids low. Looks like its being sprayed up the box when the drive shafts spinning.

Excuse me
I see
Any specs?
Standard rate BC Racing BR units. Will use that as a base and tweak from there on. Will see how they compare to the good old Eibach/Koni adjustable combo that saw us well for the last 10yrs.

Keep me posted I'll be interested to see the results
That gives you 280lb front and 224lb rear
Kg/mm to lb/in = ×56 for a rough estimate for reference

Yeah, once it's assembled we'll get it setup and see what the numbers say before we get too much into shredding rubber. Thankfully we've got a couple of places not too far away with the right brain pans

From what I've calculated so far they seem soft... but I'll keep a hold of my figures and we'll compare nearer the timeYeah, once it's assembled we'll get it setup and see what the numbers say before we get too much into shredding rubber.

"i was counting the seconds before your response tom. personally, i think, even a front strut brace is a waste of time, any car i have driven with one fitted, then removed, makes absolutely no difference in cornering/stiffness, i reckon there just a bling wank factor to add more weight to the car. seam welding would be mad but. and the brace i have is bolted through the strut towers using 2 10mm bolts either end.... looks good, thats it."

Ah well, was the first time I saw it associated to coilovers...

Probally a set up similar to mine. Mine are BC BR's but with custom sprint rates
You guys are probably right. Aspect start out at F:6kg/mm, R:3.5kg/mm and Mulholland run F:6kg/mm, R:4kg/mm, as a comparison. They're stiffer than the old V1's which came in at F:4kg/mm, R:3kg/mm.
What we run will largely depend on final weight and tyres, as it's not a road car.

I'd be inclined to run 4.5/5kg on the rear and soft anti roll bars. Dependent on the damper settigs
Either way you've a car to finish first and then we'll see how it.works out

If you're doing banded steels is worth investing in a 3 part dye penetrant kit... or borrrowing one.

...Mot booked for friday, had to get some new tyres first though
I called up my tyre place on Monday to get a quote for 185/50 R16s...the receptionist tried but failed to grasp what I was asking her for and soon passed me over to the tyre man lol
After checking the kind I wanted online I asked if they could get the same ones, they said yes and saved me £2 per tyre...so I ordered 4.
Picked them up this afternoon, all fitted. When I drove away I could tell the difference straight away. The improvement between 2mm and 8mm is rather staggering ^_^
While they were fitting them one of the guys said he'd never seen a Sport model micra before...and the other bloke fell in love with my. ..collapsible traffic cone
Tyre porn!!!
Phwoarrrrr!...check out that tread

Marshall matrac mh11's
They're a new version of the tyres that came on my k12 4 years ago...in fact 3 of the 4 tyres i changed were the old marshalls ^_^
Online price (asda tyres) £62.34,
called them directly £59.16
...saving £3 per tyre, just from a phone call
The guy did try to get me to go with the matrix(?) ones at first, he had them in stock but they were £65.45 each and rated F for fuel economy and C in the wet. ?.the Marshalls were rated C for both, he just had to order them from a different supplier
Edit:
The Continental one's in that size are about £90-£110 each!
Although I think they have B ratings?
Edit2: http://www.asdatyres.co.uk/?gclid=CMCX0bzXiLsCFSKWtAodpUwA9w
Continentals ratings for 2 of 4 kinds are worse than the Marshalls.
I guess it just depends how much of a brand you want, I never had a problem with the old Marshalls so sticking with them worked for me
just ordered some new plates as two months of bursary got put in my bank account - im a big boy now
square front and oblong rear, shweeeeeeeeeeeet!
