Been a while since I've posted on here.
Had to get a new car as my previous 97 Vibe had some serious tin worm and needed a timing chain. I cut my loses and sold it for £100 after paying £250 for it 6 months beforehand. I was sad to lose my first car especially as I had an SR bumper waitting to go on (also sold).
Anyway I got a 2000 first facelift (my preferred facelift) with 50k for £400. All it needed was a new tyre, there's a rattle but that's just a loose heat shield and the throttle probably needs cleaned out but it's perfect otherwise.
I've had it a couple of months now, so far I've managed to swap out the boot lid handle for a pre-face (colour coded, need to some paint correction above the handle), swap the lip spoiler for a wrap around, de-badge the boot, change oil and filter, spark plugs and air filter. The car definitely feels a lot quicker but I can't say im a fan of power steering, I preferred the old micra around corners. Hopefully the coilovers I'm ordering in January will help with that.
here's a pic.
