what did you do to your micra today ?

[Huggy444]

I realised today why I had so much undesteer during the last couple of weeks.. Bought new in July almost slick today.. Tyres Fallken 185/60/13.. Brilliant tyre nevertheless but my Harry Hockly coilovers need something like the ns2r I think..

Im going to be buying a set of NS2R's for an upcoming tarmac rally, getting really good reviews for the price they are

Came home with this, finished 3rd overall and 2nd in class at today's Autosolo.

 

[infinity]

Tested my new paint gun

 

[bls]

Finally got the arches on, well pleased... There were paint bubbles on the arch rims for the last four years.. Took them back to metal with an angle grinder and copper greased against rust returning.

 

[bls]

Now that the water leak is fixed and the welding is done, I have taken the sound proofing off to kill the bad smell.. Does anyone know where to get a suitable replacement or just use household underlay? I would prefer a rubberised compound to stop water absorption.

Well this arrived

Time for some snail power

the 49/52/56 distinction will have a bearing on how it behaves

I got them for £43 + £15 post off ebay from Poland.. Took a while to get around the usual curse of does not post to northern Ireland .. I hate bodywork and they cover all the problems...

 

[Azzydot]

Thanks mate I need to order mines if they have any left

They are in production as a brand new product.. Should be available for years to come.. The only thing I would say is the mounting method is a bit dodgy, I drilled mine and put a small self topper screw through into a plastic screw block to be sure they don't fall off......
. Or get pulled off.

The ones on their sides are meant to be like that, they are 'guiding' cones so you know which of the cone to drive.

It is quick and easy enough to put screws in, I chose them so that I can remove them easily to check for rust from time to time. At 21 years old I want to stay ahead before it gets a hold..

 

[Azzydot]

Yeh get wat u mean best to tackle the rust or any welding needed first like mines been done now all sorted

Well driving off the A66 yesterday and my back box decides to snap Now all bertha's doing is mwwaaammmm!! Defo need it fixing getting loads of strange looks lol.

 

[Se@n]

When I was taking arm out I had to cut out the old bolt.

Just wondering if anyone knows the length, head size and thread of the bolt. So I can get one ordered.

Here's picture of where it goes through

 

[Hazara]

Started the car after nearly 18 months. Bleeded the breaks.

Things to do are:

1 cut the seized bolt from panhard rod and fit it to axle (need help with sourcing a nut)

2 fit the stabiliser bar to axle ( possibly need to re thread the fixed nut)

3 oil, coolant and filter changes.

4 wash wax

5 MOT (needs some welding)

5 tax

6 on the road by next Friday.

Regards

 

[SuperUno]

Fame once again, getting featured for the second year running in the program for Wales Rally GB, and we aren't event taking part this year!

 

[RyanSk11]

Got some welding done on the passenger sill last night, and failed it's MOT tonight.
Rear seatbelt anchors corroded were one of the failing points strangely considering I saw them all when it was in its van stage a couple of months ago...

Anyway £190 later and i'll have her back tomorrow!

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Was near to where @Chris Huzzey lives today,i thought i'd say hello and see his new k10

 

[Kiza1208]

I used sonax colour/scratch restorer on the almera recently and was very surprised by the good result.....

Do you know where I can get some of this stuff?

 

[bls]

Your local autofactor or Halfords should stock it. The almera is 2003 with all the scuffs and dunts you would expect.. I would say it covered 95% or better.. The only damage it didn't cover was a 1 inch hole in the paint on the bumper... Any scratches about the width of a pen nib it works wonders. Takes time but for me hating bodywork it was the dogs bxxxocks

I'll put a photo of the kit I used on tomorrow.. I'm pulling pints at the mo

 

[Kiza1208]

Think I'll try that at the weekend gives me something to do while I'll be off work and being bored

 

[bls]

I got mixed-up.. The sonax was excellent on the metalic paint of the micra.. The scratch restorer was turtlewax scratch repair colour coded to the almera. The sonax will pull everything grease/bugs and oxidation of old car paint.

 

[MaxK11C]

Normal micra owner gitters, just dropped my 1.0 off for MOT!

 

[MaxK11C]

And she passed! Another years motoring ahead...

 

[l_jonez]

Not exactly micra but cg13 related...

Started to look how the turbo&engine fit in the kit car

Does anyone know where I can get an exhaust flange from?
