what did you do to your micra today ?

Opps that wasn't very clear, was shattered after a long drive home from Burnley!

Life'ing the wishbones i.e. Replacing them after a set time reguardless of any visable issues, will start at life'ing of a year. I don't want to experience a snapped wishbone again!

thats where my little electronic tacho comes in useful matt, it records the "running hours" like the aero industry do
but i would weld a mild steel socket/bush onto the wishbone, and then insert a high tensile bolt instead of that shaft that snapped
 
Had a good weekend at BSR Racing with @h701micra sorting out the suspension set up :) lowered, stiffened and new adjustable panhard rod. Nice weekend, Nice bloke, Nice work

Also finally got a map light wired into the car for my navi, never done wiring before but managed it fairly ok, actually pretty proud haha :p
Didnt take a final pic, forgot but took some others.....

Ohhhh yeah I remember :)
The spanner is safe, went round the car today and got everything tight... All was good apart from the rear height adjusting ring, just needed a little tightening

May have even managed to un-seize the panhard as well today, not 100 sure though as i didn't take it off

That wasn't bad considering :) I was expecting much worse

My big vice is there n bolted down now so we could properly lever it if we wanted

Pretty much, I got shot and you were last on our team, and no one found you for like 20 minutes, errbody was like "u wot, he must be hacking" lol
 
Changed the gearbox. Bought a lemon though, it was seized, pity I didn't check until I had the lot back together. managed to get the gearbox free'd up enough to move and slowly it returned to normal minus third gear which I still can't seem to select.

Also at the point of giving up trying to find a set of import clocks or even prefacelift cable driven units that I can try try make work

Nothing new, Ford (Boreham days) used to do it all the time. In fact i think one reg one two rallies in different parts of the world on the same weekend...!
 
Only just figured out what @davyboy meant...
Very sneaky





I'm impressed
Used to run around on beer bottle labels for tax discs back in the day ha ha, only got a telling off if caught anyway !
Not now with these spy cameras, nprdgt cop cameras or whatever they're called. Its all about making a dollar now....easy pickings.
Since the scrapping of the tax disc, we have cop stops everywhere now. Catching bucket loads down here though.
 
went to see my brother to see why my tyre kept going down, found out my bandeds leak air which isnt a suprise, he said he can put some sealant on them somewhen but would be a 24hr job, ill do that when he welds up my exhaust that i also bought, universal back box and replacement bendy section on its way! also finished my first 2-10 shift and came out to my car absolutely covered in ice, looks amazing on the paint!
