what did you do to your micra today ?
- Thread starter frank
- Start date
lowered the front all the way down, tried on xxrs and some big big big dished wheels going on my mates stupidly low yaris, snow foamed it for first time, polished it again, scraped and bottomed out and made sparks, got told my cars getting entertaining and enjoyable to look at, parked on a slope and made my sully toy on the front look like it was stand up and primered the spoiler again, tomorrows plans are to spray the spoiler and look at doing some bumper modifications
What splitter is that?
Widtd: put the sound deadening pads in and refitted the carpet and front seats. Took all day to get the seats in and refit the plastics.
I'll be getting more pads for the back and ill be making a hardboard cutout of the boot to give a steady base for the shag pile lol
Pics of the deadening pads.
Pic of the back that needs to be covered

WDIDT?
Drove to a friend garage and asked his opinion on how replace CV joint. He told me that, I might damage the retainer clip a the end of drive-shaft since I don't have the experience requited and the Micra is very hard to do!!
Came back and am thinking do I have to do it myself with the help of everyone here or shall I take to a garage?

Yahoo auctions I think, it's not something I've looked into though, there's a few JDM masters on here that can do it
Window wiper blades have been changed and the Engine bay has been cleaned.
Fitted some new repeaters as I thought the orange looked old fashioned.
Are they easy to install?
Dead simple. Use a sharp object to unclip the light from the side, unplug the connector and swap it round.
Cheers, do they clip back in or do you have to use something to stick it on?
Forgive my stupidity, i'm not very good with cars, that's why i joined this forum to get better

WDID (At the weekend) and today.....
Lots of jobs to the MGZR road car, mostly service and rust prevention stuff.
To the rally car
- New fuel filter, only been on just under a year looks like this....
I guess running low fuel levels on events most of the time leads to picking up lots of dirt! Will be making the fuel filter a 6 month timed service item rather a year....
Also fitted new wipers, and tried to fit the indicator stalk which I got, but found out although it was from another '95 car it was different However found the right one with the correct part number of fleabay today and ordered it up.
Also found answers to my questions from last week.
a) The valves in the CGA3 head are the same unless it doesn't have removable shims.
b) The bigger master cylinder to use is from a P10 Primaera 93-95 2.0 non-abs - anyone got one for sale ?

Genuine Nismo splitter
Cheers I'll let you know when I start putting her back together
I have a set with wiring
Starting to look better now, took my time with this one and has come out pretty reasonable. A few angles on the cuts to change... then a new template and I think I will be there. What I have found is - if you can find a design on a suitable material, and the size is
correct... you can have what you want as your fascia. Only 3 more different fascia templates to make but my cutting skills are improving...very easy to make a mistake. One slip with the knife and the fascia is a throw away.

Would be good if you could approach a laser cutting company with a 2d design template... Probably a bit fancy for you though
give them the actual fascia and I'm sure they could cut some on a laser cutter fairly cheaply, and they could engrave numbers so you don't have to cut out around the ones on the Rev counter/speedoI went to the only laser cutters around here and they were to busy. I have sourced another one locally, but have not been able to get a reply yet. Too fancy for me MMMMWAH!!!!!Would be good if you could approach a laser cutting company with a 2d design template... Probably a bit fancy for you though
If I sharpen up my cutting skills, then cutting the template isn't to bad, I have started with the most difficult one imo.
If you want nice seats....here's mine - very comfy. The doggies love it as well...they keep scratching lumps out of it.Oooo ill be remembering this
These are the ones I bought.

The connector on the back is not the same as the micra. I cut my connector off and soldered the wires to the new one and potted it with silicone.
Had a look for one like that, nope...couldn't find it. The attachment didn't work, stayed very small. However, it led me to the world of crafting.
Bleddy nora, you want to cut, drill, gouge anything, that's where to look. Some very useful stuff there.
