what did you do to your micra today ?

Had a look at a few induction systems last night, there's a lot to choose from.
Thinking of the piper-cross filter, you can fit it into the standard box, and get a 30% increase in airflow....according to the blurb.
Any-body on here tried it?
So many to choose from, metal, foam, mushroom, cone, ram air, and so on. Who on here has the best one ?? or think they have the best one???
Also ordered 10mm wheel spacers, waterproof car cover, waterproof seat covers (for my dogs) Other stuff as well....but forgot what I ordered now (senior moment LOL) I'll get around to fitting it eventually. Re-doing my kitchen at this time.....I love decorating....really I do
Get an air box off a 1.6 almera and some pipe for a cold air feed

Hi mate do you like decorating as much as: pre-shampooing rinsing, shampooing, chamois, polishing and extra gloss protection coating the exterior, full engine bay valet and then a interior full vac, upholstery shampooing and carpet, dash and trim treatment and glass polishing your Micra lol!

I'd rather decorate my whole house than do thatHi mate do you like decorating as much as: pre-shampooing rinsing, shampooing, chamois, polishing and extra gloss protection coating the exterior, full engine bay valet and then a interior full vac, upholstery shampooing and carpet, dash and trim treatment and glass polishing your Micra lol!

Why???? what are the benefits???? that's what I need to know please.
Will that give me a 30% increase in airflow?
When I dyno'd my 1.0, (K11C, 59 bhp stock) with a cherry bomb back box (probably losing power) and a GA16 Airbox it made 63.9bhp.
With just a GA16 Airbox and a "more free flowing exhaust" 3 or 4 people have seen over 90bhp with their 1.3's
I'd imagine on the 1.4 the gains would be even greater.
I'd highly recommend a GA16 airbox and maybe stick a pipercross filter in that, although they are £35!
Well thank you Max, that was hella Good info .....cheers buddyWhen I dyno'd my 1.0, (K11C, 59 bhp stock) with a cherry bomb back box (probably losing power) and a GA16 Airbox it made 63.9bhp.

£35 including the fogsIf it's free give it a go

Hmmm I am tempted tbh just don't want color codingThat's fairly close to free
I'm rather unsure... It'll be a big change to the front... But she's looked the same on the front for a while now :/ x
Have it, if you don't like it......move it on.Hmmm I am tempted tbh just don't want color coding

This is very true.... I sent the picture to my pannel of judges (mum and dad) as I wernt sure and they said they much prefer her how she is :LHave it, if you don't like it......move it on.
I may see if I can have a go at that photo shop stuff

I think its bent mate. Might want to get a second opinion though hahahaThat might have been the problem....

No idea mate, possibly. Surely you have to cut it aswell. Anyhow, its not an important part. Get rid of it, weight reduction. As useless as an engine imo :')I thought this was how alignment was done?

today got my sill for drivers and cutted the rusted rot out but my inner has rotted away, do I make my own inner with holes in for spot weld ? I know they don't make them do they @frank

I am always one for a restoration project and my one weakness and failing is to decide when it's better to move on, sometimes you have to look at what you can achieve and what you can physically and financially put into a restoration project and if needed cut your loses and move on to a more realistic restoration project! Mate that's a lot of corrosion and I will be the first to applaud you if you have the will and determination to carry out such a restoration project!
Good luck and please keep us updated?
Thanks for sharing.

That’s the most rotted Micra I’ve ever seen in 18 years of using and maintaining these things. Jacked up with the inner and outer sill’s non-existent the chassis and wheels may now be misaligned?
Perhaps it’s time to consider letting that one go as it’s more efficient use of one’s time and resources to buy a useful good Micra with long MOT for not much more than its scrap value?
Last year’s MOT tester on that one must be the most lenient in the UK and it may be advisable to avoid any second-hand cars with an MOT from that garage?
Nothing wrong with rust, or rot every cars rot and if u got a welder and a folder with some sheetings it's good as new, may take a week or 2 but I know the car will be brand new under neat, and paint having full spray up, I had this for 1 years in back garden that's why it has rotten even more and no mot for 2 years, it's not that simple to get a cheap Micra as mines it's special to me if u dig info or more about me maybe u will bite ur teeth lol

Blinking hell, thought I had found the "one" with my betty, but NO!!!!
Mooching around the usual car sites last night, looking for another micra for the missus, AND, found a sport+ with two doors!!!!
That's the one I want, I really, really want (nearly broke into the spice girls there!!!) it was in blue, not the colour I want, but did not know they came in two door. If it was black, I'd be flying up to Leicester right now.
So my search will continue until I find one (if I last long enough) if I find one....I'll have it.

I know that feeling - bought an 'ok' Sierra Saf (had been resprayed, but could do with a good cut).
I pulled the carpet out and found the odd rust spot - once I cut that 1" square, it turned into 1', then more - whole floor pan was rotten from the in-side out and no way to tell from the outside other than another tiny rusty bit under the passenger footwell.
Toyed with the idea of replacing the floor pan, then found the sills were as bad - entire lower section was tin-foil thin.
I'm dredding the same as Azzydot on Micra #2, but I'm a bit more comfortable sorting that. (Plus I don't have the disposable income like I did then, so it's no choice to fix!)
