what did you do to your micra today ?

[Huggy444]

Yup, understand that, these modern cars are totally different to what we had, they do demand respect.
My first car, a Morris Oxford, would take a week to get to 60mph, and two days to stop it.
How its changed.

Insurance is odd - can insure my 1.6 fiesta for 800 but a much slower estate will cost 1500 odd

Ah well

That's all down to the bean counters who factor in all relative costs.
Its all a rip off in my opinion.

 

[Guesst4094]

Its cheaper for me to get insurance on my dads 2l Insignia with no named drivers then it is for me on my 1l Micra with my mum as a named driver

Removed my Sub today, made a separate wooden frame up for the Amp to sit on and put my old 6x9s on the parcel shelf, After a bit of fiddling with the wires it all works great now, also cleaned the inside out ready to hoover it tomorrow, and snow foamed it because it was a tad bit dirty from all the country roads

Above its mentioned about Jaguars being 2 tonnes. So many big modern cars weigh that, esp in estate form! My other car is 1,750kg with nothing in it! Another reason for loving super light Micras!!

Tis when the sea's running like this. That's a 180,000 ton tanker sheltering from a big Sou'wester.
Seen it running 3 times bigger than that. You don't go on the beach then.

Pulled off to work this morning and on full lock ( R/H down) car seems to be knocking. Am I right in thinking this could be outer drive shaft joint on passenger side?

 

[12h]

prob cv joint just needs re packing with grease did mine after a new boot fine after that

I put a new boot/greased it up about 2 month ago. knocking just started but I've got some grease left over so i'll give it a try

 

[12h]

work the grease into the bearings dont just slap it on the outer race dont forget it spins thus centrifugal force throws the grease out!

Technically it's centripetal force

I used to remember my A level maths teacher has a fit whenever we use centrifugal rather than centripetal, and yet during physics we use centrifugal

I can't remember the pedantic difference between the two... They're basically the same, just a case of maths vs physics

 

[pollyp]

I think centripetal was the real force that alters the objects motion whilst centrifugal is a fictional entity of the opposite reactive force, ie every action has an equal & opposite reaction.

she passed with only advisory being front brakes

Its centrifugal whether your maths teacher likes it or not.

[davyboy]

Unburnt fuel/carbon from inside the exhaust would be my guess.
You shot water up the exhaust it looks like.

 

[Huggy444]

@MaxK11C
Same as mine - we're both gonna blow up our engines soon....

Nah, tis alright, just carbon deposits I'd say from a sooty engine! Nowt really to worry about unless it makes blue smoke

 

[Chris Huzzey]

sold my K10 to a micra owner from wales who probably lurks on here but if he does yo jamal. bought a 316 e36 though, can fit in it better than a micra so im happy, sold micra for profit and bmw for cheaper than i sold it for, all good. done this to the sunny finally too so micras arent completely out my life, engine soon

 

[12h]

ill be starting to break the 1300 si over the weekend so pm me for prices what you req before ebay parts include mint 1300 engine n box with history banded steels with tyres coilovers 4 branch with decat sportex backbox big vented discs n calipers rev counter quick shift etc etc etc

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Looking back through some of the Pics i took when i was going to JAE and i'm suffering from K10 withdrawal badly I miss it so much! I need to hurry up and get it back on the road!

Fitted this yesterday!! That should solve my clutch problem

 

[Antony]

Theres no such thing as centrifugal.... its a falacy designed to allow non physicists or engineers to understand the laws of motion.

What a #### day.
My first car has gone, albeit to a very good home..
And I've crashed the March.
Just understeered into a kerb going downhill at maybe 25mph, and walloped the alloy. It's bent the lower arm so the tires rubbing on the body.
It's repairable but I'm so ####ing gutted.

Fitted new CD player and put in my grills I sprayed black
