Arrrgh nooo!! What is it with me breakin stuff lately!?! My handbrake bolts (both) broke (again) when i parked the other night, cracked my wing mirror glass, (maybe i looked directly at it) killed a phone by sliding it open, dropped my own car (as opposed to someone elses...did that too) when i...

Ah beat me to it!!I was toying with the idea of fitting a cone to the end of the stock air box feed (behind the headlight) and throwing the panel filter away...only restriction is space for a decent sized cone :p

200 miles dead from just over half a tank of brisk driving...i'll run it right down and see what it can manage....

Unfortunately i just removed the 20 paving slabs from the back and it's even again :laugh: to be honest it was unbearable...scraping metal over every bump, tyres rubbing like mental and i was ####ting it in case i had to brake hard, really didn't fancy a slap in the heid from one of those...

Ahaa, super slammage!! :p

Now 50mm lower, with a 10" sub on the parcel shelf...more matt blacking to be done at the weekend if it aint pizzing it doon, mirrors and steelies...and any other bits i dont like the look of :p

Aye G, too right mate! I reckon it's gonna be a replica of the auld ane :p

Awesome mate! How low can you go...you aint gotta worry about rusted sills, they'll be sanded if that car gets dropped any more!?! :p

Started with the black bits again! Am i the only nut to go un-colour coding my cars?! :p

Oh yass, i will be paying muchos attention this time!! :p

Cheers Frank! (Y) i'd already thought of modding before the damn thing was taxed! More wee bits will be done at the weekend! :p

Success!! Car was mot'd and taxed at 10am, filled with fuel, stereo/backbox fitted and windscreen wipers de-squeaked by 12pm...a good start :p

Tense stuff...i go to pick up the SR tomorrow at 8am...hopefully with an mot!! :p Then, if it's passed, down to the dvla for a tax disc, and i'm back on the road...when Saturday comes, a new exhaust, maybe the janspeed, the rear lights, and if time allows a stereo that works! Next after that...

First on the list of things to bolt on, courtesy of RedRocket...(Y)

Man i miss that lump!

Well the parts from my old micra need a new host soo...janspeed, big exhaust, -50mm springs too because it just looks daft without 'em, maybe the panhard, stereo (providing it survived the flying lesson) my front grille, the black rear lights, and a new set of wheels are on my wish list Chris...

Woo-hoo! Three wee bits of welding, both seatbelt anchorage points and a bit of suspension prescribed area, all expected, and a 1% below requirement service brake efficiency (both rears recording little or no effort) which i'm hoping means they just need run in!?! I hope by kicking the s**t out...

All ready for mot tomorrow :p backbox sorted, brakes sorted, all the crap of the day taken out, magic tree added for luck...and the battery decided to die. Again. grr It's on charge for the morning, and hopefully i will have a bill for welding the sills tomorrow night, and an mot'd, insured, and...

Micra SR in for mot on Friday...Need to sort the handbrake as it's not doing much, even at full stretch,(possibly the cams inside are sticky or need adjusted prior to bleeding, or the pads aren't moving freely in the anti-rattle clips,or the cables are screwed, or, or....) replace back box as...

Cheers folks! :grinning: Funny thing is, i was running out of ideas for the car...almost 100% happy with it and now it's toast! I clipped a verge, went sideways over to the opposite verge and dug in both o/s wheels then rolled and slid upside down till i stopped. As i've said, just glad no-one...
