what did you do to your micra today ?

lowered and put polo 6R rear springs in the back to see what happens, tried on my wheels and found one of the rears is badly buckled or something, rolled my arches with standard micra shock and some mole grips too, [HASHTAG]#ghetto[/HASHTAG]
Took chrome front grills out and colour coded them. Looks 100 times better
Put it in the garage until the Spring. I now have no usable car. Bugger.

Used mine to look at a Eunos, tempted.
Went round both cars and did the door rubbers and sunroof with this stuff to try and preserve the old slightly hardened rubbers esp round the sunroof:
Decided that I'm getting annoyed with coins and things sliding about so hope this might help. Slightly velvety craft paper the other 1/2 was binning in the tray under the steering wheel:
Did tyre pressures (all a couple of psi down, and spare almost flat) water, oil checks on both cars.
Cleaned up electrical contact of o/s headlight where previous owner has put 3 spade terminals in place of the proper plug on to the headlight bulb and I've been loosing the dip beam recently One thing I noticed which is a nice touch, or a fault, is when the dip beam goes off the High Beam warning light on the dash comes on - this might be the wiring fault earthing back through the main beam though?!

I think thats the first time I've been mentioned on here for months, things have been getting in the way lately to do any Micra stuff
Well huggy if you turn that colour, I would go to the doctors pretty sharpish !
Just used my first tank of fuel and averaged just shy of 42 mpg; 2/3 short trips in and around town (which is what I wanted it for) and about a 1/3 m-way so quite happy with that As it had no service history I do reckon it could do with new plugs, leads, and dissy cap and might get a few more (I've done oil & filter + air filter), and ditch my heavy boots :lol:

How did you go about cutting it normal to the wheel rotation axis? MIG welded?
I was considering doing my own but i only have an arc welder, 4.5" grinder and no rollers so i don't think it's possible to do a tidy enough job with that
9" grinder in a cutting jig I made, you can use a 4.5" no problem. I used mig, arc will be fine, use whatever you're most confident with getting a good air tight and strong weld. Welding the outer rim on was easy, welding it back on to the centre was an arse, you can't get in to clean all the crap out of the wheel leading to contamination, that's where your arc welder might be better! Give it a go mate.

Got some 165/55 tyres I think you'll find perfect.... Near as new
Going to endure the weather outside and go out now and put my roll bar back on with its new bushes. And fit my new brake bulbs. Then its simply a waiting game waiting for my new master brake cylinder to arrive this week . Last few bits for the mot. And my satisfaction ofc . I aint half spoilt this car recently but im keeping her so shes worth it.

Yeah but he isn't in a rush, I don't see the problem with lacquering over it now to give it some preotection?

Careful otherwise you will become a 'hater' and will forever be not scene enough
Might sound strange but iv had an x reg 1.8 zetec focus and endura 1.8 tdi focus, a 1.4 zetec fiesta newer shape and a my last car was a 2.2 dti vectra 55 plate running at 160hp and out of them all I love the micra best...for reasons known and unknown. The fuel economy extreme ease of repair and cheapness to fix being some. Also I just dont feel the need these days to have a fast car on uk cctv roads.
