what did you do to your micra today ?

[EnterScott]

Fitted a 90degree bend (From a Zafira GSi airbox) for cold air feed and repositioned behind the gearbox

Wires from every colour of the rainbow

I did move it up off the ground slightly and point it forward.

Doubt there'll be any improvement but it just looks nicer

Another Zafira GSi part? Who's Zafira you stealing parts off of ?

I had it like this before, I'll move it up in the event of heavy rain.

I know it def has a decent suction effect as when I removed my airbox lid I found a bunch of crispy leaves behind the filter

Yet again fought with the OS engine mount, took F**king ages to get the new polybush fitted/alined and all bolted up. Finally finished, although it seems my torque wrench is knackered as i stripped the threads on the engine mount nut....

Modded the brand new tb a bit, femoving the wax stat and smoothed the throttle spindle a little. Fitted the tb and called it a night.

Another night in the cold garage tomorrow night...... All prep for next weekends Rockingham Stages.

Plenty of non-work jobs to be fitted in around work tmorrow including getting the new tyres fitted, and a trip to Halfords

Those mounts are bit of a pig to get in eh! Ended up moving the mount open with a scissor jack how are you finding the vibration Matt? I get a resonance at about 2k where everything seems to buzz all at once, rear view mirror is useless as well!

 

[SuperUno]

Chassis mount was fine, just getting a) the old inner part of the mount out and b) when fitting and trying to get it all lined up. Haven't tried it yet with the engine running to see how harsh it seems.

 

[freeze19]

Just had fun in snow today


And think about a coupé version for the K11 :

But I will remake the roof (something like a hardtop for the k11 cabriolet)

 

[Rangerallen]

What about if it looked like the old bmw z3 coupe ?

 

[JoeK11]

Looks pretty good

 

[SuperUno]

Re-built the Carbon Fibre lamp pod, oh and here's a pic of the new wheels, which I got fitted with the Winter Snow Tyres today.

 

[JoeK11]

Started swapping over left/right seats in the front, passenger rail for the Recaros is muffed up though, evidently the guy who modded it to fit practiced his technique on that one... it only fits one of the seats! Drivers seat is back in with the tilt handle on the right side now passenger seat has been abandoned in the dining room til i can be bothered to sort out the rail with some drilling/filing tomorrow.

Fitted the new white wheels fitted with snow tyres to scrub in for the weekends rally at Rockingham, also took her old for a test drive. All fine but i had set the idle too high after removing the wax-stat system, a bit of adjustment and its fine. Although with the new engine mount it is noisier inside the car.....

All set now for rockingham stages, car jobs wise, just got to loads the cars up on Friday night ready to be off early in Saturday. Anyone in the area, may want to pop along as spectators as allowed at this event

Only downer is although finally after lots of messing around today i collected a pair of spare driveshafts, the wishbones i was meant to be buying were useless. So i am still after a pair of cheap used wishbones, to carry in the spares kit. Anyone got any ? Ideally close'ish to either Aylesbury or Uxbridge or I am in Wokingham on Friday.... Or can bring to Rockingham. Would be nice to have the reassurance of a spare set of wishbones in the spares kit. Cash waiting.......

I used to have some lock deicer. It has a nozzle which you poke into the lock then push and it sprays.

I never actually got to use it as I left it in my glovebox in my old car and my locks froze so I couldn't get it

You should buy car winter kit. I got ice key so I can poke in before I put my car key in

One modern feature I really really like is remote central locking my Micra has it.

 

[EnterScott]

Phoned up about my alloys and there STILL not done, last Wednesday they said 2 we're machined out and 2 weren't then yesterday I phoned and they said that the calipers had been adjusted so they didn't know what size they needed machined out to and once I told them the size they said "we'll get them done today" then I phoned again today and they've only got 1 done. The place is full of bull****!

 

[skymera]

You're getting the centres milled out?

It's a 60minute job if that and that includes setting up the lathe.

My wheels were trial and error, bit by bit till the wheel fit. Once one fit the other 3 were done in a few minutes.

Sounds like they're fobbing you off, I'd go there and pick all 4 wheels up and go elsewhere.

EDIT: my 1337 post

*Hi 5*

Hmmm.... Harlequin Micra Chogy?...I think I like it

Living the dream.....good for you!
I knew I'd need welding. It was the same on my last micra.

Doing a lot of reading on this wonderful forum, has taught me I need to become more handy, but welding is not my forte!

I thought it would only be a 60 minute job but they are taking the piss haha

I wont be giving them any money until I fit them on the car and make sure they fit right!

Im very close to just picking them up tbh

Im with you Frank, was put off a N/A SR20 due to the weight, plus the gear linkage would be a mission i suppose.. o well something to tinker with in the future maybe

In 20yrs time when all K11 parts are virtually extinct, Frank will be the CG tycoon.
We must bow unto him and offer a sacrificed pig in exchange for car parts. I look forward to it.

And I replaced my 100W H4s with 55W H4s
