what did you do to your micra today ?

[davyboy]

Washed my car today nah! of course I didn't - it rained here at last Have to start thinking about cleaning the inside though, couple of rats had a sniff inside, and walked away - quickly.

 

[MaxK11C]

My car badly needs a wash, while we're on that subject ... But in my opinion she always needs a wash...

Wdidt.... Completely filled Mildred and brimmed her for £35 from just above the red... Shame she only does 180 miles to a tank

Also 5 bin bags full and two holdles full and I have NEARLY packed my clothes for the big move -.- considering that's just clothes can't wait to pack the car parts! @Micrapro.... I think we may need another house just to fit my belongings in :L x

 

[frank]

the barrels are more supported matt, less free to expand and contract in relation to the rest of the block

 

[davyboy]

What's wrong with that engine Frank - lol.

too much boost davy

 

[SuperUno]

Why did they fit them to the autos only, are autos that much more stressed?

 

[Clodo]

If only I knew :L thats good when I fist got her she was only doing 105 to a tank :L she's getting there x

 

[frank]

good question matt my belief is that the barrels expand and contract at a slightly different rate to the rest of the block (cast iron and alloy) and that results in higher heat/compression cycles onto the fire rings, and the autos tend to get worked harder in traffic (higher revs, more fuel burnt etc)

 

[davyboy]

Same here ryan - 350+ @ clodo ....... check your boot's not full of concrete blocks

 

[Clodo]

That could be what's effecting it!....... Either that or I need to eat less biscuits x

Didn't do anything to her, but bought some lowering springs for her. Toys ftw.

WDIDT ?
rolled the seam on some left-over sheet alloy, and bought some 63mm alloy tube off-cuts.
this current side exit system is too quiet for a TD04 9G (need more burble)

 

[Madmonkee]

Bought more wheels and bucket seats

What you doing with your f1000 then now your 17?

 

[Jordan27]

What you doing with your f1000 then now your 17?

Just going to do the Senior F1000. Can't afford to be doing anything else so just going to keep the same car. And maybe a few road rallies in a 1.4 that's wasting away on the drive.

 

[davyboy]

Wiped my dashboard off today - that's another bit cleaned won't know my girl in a minute.

 

[Guy]

Could you, hand on heart, honestly say there isn't a tramp living in your car somewhere ?

 

[SuperUno]

Thanks - Suze (wife) did it all really.

 

[krisali1]

This was the other day. Fitted lights in the footwells

 

[Jordan27]

Holy balls it's icy outside! Wheel spinning in 3rd and my non existent handbrake actually locked up(WOOPS)

^ I think your exhaust is a bit too long matey.

Also i'm starting to think about playing with this car again...and i blame everyone one on here for that. hmm I suppose i could take the head off and see whats going on (only been putting it off for months now), at lest it'd give me a proper idea on what to do next.

You could always revive your old build thread and show us in more detail how your superchargers fitted
