what did you do to your micra today ?

[Huggy444]

One of the trims fell off my car yesterday, so that means all of them must come off. What colour should I paint my steels (car is AJ4 red)?

Go cream, bit different to the standard white

 

[cgten]

Won't cream make them look like dirty white wheels?

Hmmm now thats an idea , take a picture of the area without the wheel on then get the section the wheel would cover transferred to the wheel

Cloaked wheels???

Yeah , although you would still have the tire :/ would still be kinda cool though

Had some decent shots over the weekend

transparent, as in coating, would just be a straight laquered wheel.

a completely transparent wheel, as in just seeing the brakes/hub magically hover within the tyre/rim, can already be done with any open-spoked wheel via the wagon-wheel effect.

getting the same effect while stationary, you'd either need to make the wheels out of transparent material thats strong/tough enough (glass, perspex, diamond, transparent aluminium) or keep the wheels spinning while the vehicle's stationary (chassis lifted off floor, 4wd burnout, roller wheel dolleys)

I think he was joking Paul

Modified my topmounts to give me 20mm more height, and completed reassembling the GA coolant bits (30mm core plug is perfect and looks pretty good too).
Need to do some small revisions to topmounts before I show but the handling is much improved.

Put mine on the rolling road at college and i have gained 15bhp at the crank some how

Just got back from a four day cultural visit to Prague and my new speedo head had arrived (the one on the right)
the one on the left is the one I made earlier, happy with both. Still got my original black one ... so then there was three.
Two with tacho's, one without.

[will930]

drove a k13 one with 3 cylinders... seemed to shift better than my old k11, auto too and nice to swift along in!

 

[Charlie123]

Bought some corsa rear shocks so she'll be low tomorrow

 

[Magpie42]

what you want 1l for?

A. Because it's the same as mine (except for the dizzy) so I can pull it apart and work on it without ruining the 44k engine I've got...and then, if I did turbo it or something, I can just swap it in...and swap it out again when it blows up...

B. Because it was only £30.50

C. Because I am a Magpie

All fairly good points lol. I plan on obtaining a 1.3 at some point to rebuild and turbo. Then, when my insurance comes down, I can swap the round in a weekend instead of having no car for months on end whilst I try to save for parts.

 

[Charlie123]

Lowered mine

 

[Enuo]

Lowered mine

50mm springs?

 

[Charlie123]

- WRC Style sill stand mounts fitted (stands arrived at work too )
- Painted the new sills in body matching AJ4 - couple of quick coats this evening when i got home.

I didn't do the welding, i can weld but i dont' trust myself on safety critical stuff. The garage spent a long time sorting out the sills and mounts.

Although after i got home yesterday evening, sorted out the Micra and then went and did an hours A' Level Chemistry tutoring!
