what did you do to your micra today ?

[h701micra]

Oh yeah. Although, wheel alignment places STILL annoy the hell out of me.

I need to find a decent motorsport/race preparation company in Hampshire who WILL set the caster and camber and not just do what the computer 'tells them to' and ignore everything else.

I'll put a bit more time into it now that the dry roads will be more frequent. Next step is to complete the turbo air intake

Few n far between. Not many have the proper equipment. Worse yet the knowledge.
More to alignment than pointing them forwards although my local alignment place disagree

I look forward to seeing it come together. It was recently topic of conversation on the fb group but the usual childish nature shortly followed

 

[Huggy444]

There's a brilliant place 5 mins from me

Had like a 20 minute chat about what the car was used for, and then he went ahead and set it up just how I asked and provided a print out of the before and after with camber etc included. Cost not much more than a crappy place would charge

Drove it home from Birmingham sounding like a subaru... Turbo whistle and all.

Thanks @frank.. She's a beaut.

[Low Rider]

And now it's all mine!!!!

I remember when I picked up Nis' turbo K11.

I drove it home and immediately changed my underpants

 

[Robbi]

Put my 2" exhaust on my 1.3 I recently bought and wired the bee*r rev limiter in although it's not working properly and idk why.

 

[huntr_micra_sport]

Does one of those ever work with a micra? are they not meant for high performance cars?

 

[Robbi]

The CG13 is listed as one of the compatible engines on the bee*r website, it just doesn't seem to work properly in mine. I don't know if it's because (this might sound silly) it needs a service. Cause it does have a slight misfire.

 

[frank]

jody had one working, the cat was the 1st victim, then the crank !

 

[Robbi]

It does work tbh, you can hear it at about 10 seconds. You just can't change the 'gain' it's like it's not cutting the spark quick enough or the engine is to quick for it. Hard to explain haha

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

Refitted my blacked and led modified lights.

 

[GeorgeG]

Still waiting my rear Whiteline anti roll bar and panhard rod...
Ohhhh and my RFX alloys
Making also my massive To Do list..

 

[SuperUno]

Painted these...

Though just not sure I should have done a layer of lacquer, seems to hve reacted with the paint... So I may have to do it all again...

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

Night shot. No headlights.

 

[Andy5077]

Refitted my blacked and led modified lights.

Looking good mate where did you get the LED's from??

Cheers
Andy

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

Ebay, just ordered 100 Strawhat white 5mm ones. You can use normal 5mm ones also. The Strawhat ones have a shorter body that's all.

 

[Andy5077]

Unbolted and removed both my front seats gave them a shampoo found £4.52 wedged down the side of the passenger seat then cleaned the carpet and trims Rouge 5 looks good lol!

Cheers
Andy

You didnt wait enough between coats or you waited too much.

 

[MicraPRO]

Me and @Clodo fitted a nismo front splitter to Millie.

 

[SuperUno]

I was probably a bit too keen...

A quick dusting over with the Chrome paint again, saw them looking good again

 

[GeorgeG]

Received at last my panhard rod, rear antiroll bar.
Tomorrow, I ll get the front crossmember and start ripping off various pieces I guess..

I painted my pc a custom candy pearl green and i rushed on last clear coat which gave it a fairly even and accidental wrinkle effect haha

 

[Antony]

Fitted a boost gauge.

Hitting 5psi by 2500rpm the. Creeping to 10psi by 6000rpm.

So I need a stronger wastegate spring and a more free flowing downpipe and exhaust.

Also need to sort out fueling and intercooler as under load the engine is hesitating and I can feel it knocking....

 

[r-reg-sr]

wing bottom nut drilled then shrilled

you just need a boost controller ant, a 5psi spring then the controller adjusts it upwards, and are you on about the mad diesel knock you get when you blip the throttle from cold ?

 

[Antony]

No when it's hot on full throttle, there's a hesitation that is only cured by feathering the throttle and reducing the boost momentarily.

Sorted it out by unplugging the lambda sensor temporarily.

 

[frank]

ahh gotcha, here is the boost creep look



you can see the w/g opening prematurely because there is no controller to hold back the actuator pressure till the desired boost level, a stronger spring would help a bit but not cure the issue, and you can hear it pink is i blip the throttle at the very beginning, which is what i was on about with sir chris regarding the (limited) early 90,s ecu technology

 

[Antony]

Also. The timing chain is a noisy little bugger eh? Lol

 

[frank]

nah, mint engine that is

i thought it sounded sweet personally

 

[Antony]

When you rev it, yeah, sounds like an old Honda v4.

On idle, sounds like a bag of broken spanners lol.

Meh...

 

[IrishK11]

Took Lara for a trip to the sea side. Had nothing to do with me wanting am ice cream at all.....

 

[SuperUno]

Collected Muriel from Matt H, who has been fitting the rear disc conversion kit. Pleased with the extra rear braking power, bedded in the pads and discs on the way home, just hoping that with hot pads and some more bedding in the handbrake will improve. No loss if it doesn't as the old setup the handbrake was rubbish too...

Hi mate I am interested in converting my rear drums to discs what kit you talking about?

[Andy5077]

I ordered a genuine Nissan clutch cable and after work I removed and prepped a rocker cover for bead blasting, I also spoke to a motor engineer and he informed me that it was not a good idea to use stainless steel bolts to join a aluminium rocker cover to the aluminium engine block due to the corrosive reaction of stainless steel and aluminium being mated together??

Cheers
Andy

 

[SuperUno]

Matt Humphris, based in Oxford sells a complete kit (I used bits of this) and supplied many parts myself. He then fitted it all. Not a cheap option, but the rear drums were shot...!

[F3kka]

Pushed the gudgeon pins out of my pistons and some corsa ones De-coked 3 of them too, will do the 4th this evening.

[Antony]

Drove it.
Unplugged the lambda sensor.
Spat flames.
Accidentally shifted from 2nd to first at 50mph.......
Crapped pants,
Locked up the front wheels,
Engine revved off the clock,
Dipped clutch,
Changed to second gear,
Foot down,
Carried on. Lol.

 

[huntr_micra_sport]

Black hub caps, good as new again and a few stickers
Lowering tomorrow hopefully

 

[Magpie42]

Use really heavy stickers and the car will be instantly lowered...

 

[Clodo]

Tom and myself Got another engine

x

 

[SuperUno]

Sprayed all of these mostly on the underside of the car

I once selected 1st instead of 3rd on an event, flat out. I was v v v lucky, and removed the sodding 'quick' shift the following day!

 

[SuperUno]

Also a V-Reg (facelift, but dizzy engine) 1.0Ltr 5 door in Silver is now on our drive, to be broken for spares, as it is rotten...

Not looked over it much, seems engine is knackered, hopefully the gearbox is good as it the right one or rallying.

No rev counter, but does have headlight protectors.

Will list parts on here and then on ebay.

Got the car for free, and even has half a tank of fuel - bonus
