[hoopdub]

cool, i know we deffo have some, will see what milages they are on, what engine is in yours?

the speakers i fitted are vibe slick 6 17cm components, fitted the tweeters in the a pillar mouldings such a better sound

 

[Guy]

Cool, mine's the 1.6 but I suspect they all have the same brakes .

 

[hoopdub]

hmm, probably not tbh, so many variations will check tough

Thanx man. Hopefully have new shoes for it soon an a bit lower.

 

[hoopdub]

i quite like those wheels

 

[imweejay]

Ther ok. Iv just had them for ages. Wet on my old micra (in my profile pic) so just fancy a change really

 

[JoeK11]

Got yet another new tyre... the replacement leaked from a puncture repair so the guys gave me a basically brand new firestone tyre for free lets hope this one actually holds...

 

[imweejay]

Grim one Joe. Yea hopefully you get a few mile on it anyway.

 

[JoeK11]

Well if it doesnt get me a few miles then my faith in tyres will be severely diminished and i'll have to just tie some wood to my rims and go old skool

 

[imweejay]

I think I'll join U if it didn't. Hard to beat good old wooden wheels.

or bolted on joe , spacings are exact, but the boltholes need a lot of re-working

 

[davey1991]

Dirty naughty boy frank, too think once your car was probably owned by some old lady who went shopping in it...

 

[imweejay]

What toyota did this lil beaut come off???

 

[frank]

what about injectors and rail frank?

i was gonna get a flange alloy welded to the CG cut-off george, and then bolt them together.
but change of plan gonna weld/rework the steel toyota flange myself, and weld some injector sockets on too
and not sure lee tbh

 

[Stani1029]

This was my idea eventually but with a proper glanza jobby keep us updated on how it feels

 

[euro_micra]

a 4e-fe engined corrolla most likely, it's on my very long list of things to do

keep us updated on how it feels

started fitting extended studs

 

[flipside]

wdid tried to fit a mera gti steering wheel and spiked my airbag module, it's knackered and light wont go off. will get one from scrappers hopefully it will fix it .

 

[TheSam]

Yesterday I removed the GTi brakes and fitted some SRi ones, they are perfect for the micra, great pedal feel much better than the GTi ones.

you did centre the spool i hope

 

[flipside]

erm, i think so, why would it not go off if it snt centred

 

[frank]

erm, i think so, why would it not go off if it snt centred

the wires/ribbon inside will only rotate about 5 turns iirc, so if you dont centre it first it will tear the ribbon when you turn the wheel

 

[flipside]

ill take it off again tomorrow and have a look , im pretty certain i centred it tho. i accidently switched the ignition on while it was disconected and thats when the light came on

 

[hoopdub]

should disconnect the battery before you play with the airbag!! could end up pug faced

 

[Guy]

I'll second that !

 

[LegoJeep]

Third!

enjoy

 

[JoeK11]

[stouffer]

 

[mckenziecz]

reminds me of my old one with those chrome superlights. looks awesome

 

[Belly93]

booked it in for an alignment check at a local performance store after lowering it and to get the rear shock looked at i may have killed by incorrectly fitting and running it :/ oops

Performance shop is not gonna help with the pan hard rod issue.

 

[Belly93]

ano that just to see if anything else is out its not costing so why not lol

 

[frank]

been testing out the new improved fuel reg this diaphram is from a leftover dump/recirc valve thingy
10 psi under full vacuum, and 40 psi @ zero vacuum

 

[airmike]

test fitted my 7x13 wheels and they rubb on the calipers so im selling them...

What about some spacers?

 

[airmike]

They dont rub on the spokes but on the top of the caliper....

 

[JoeK11]

How's that then? You got larger calipers or just very thick alloys?

 

[mckenziecz]

They dont rub on the spokes but on the top of the caliper....

just grind the caliper down a little

 

[flipside]

the wires/ribbon inside will only rotate about 5 turns iirc, so if you dont centre it first it will tear the ribbon when you turn the wheel

if i check for continuity on the ribbon that would eliminate it from the pic ,right? obviously when the airbag is disconnected ,would'nt want to end up with a screwdriver in my face

 

[frank]

i guess the spool will just turn and turn if its torn ?

 

[TheSam]

it will turn and turn anyway regardless.

When you remove the wheel you should line up the two arrows then tape it in place to stop it rotating.
