Good one Yom. Never though of that. No such thing in those days. We used to add methyl benzene to our leaded petrol.That could make a few flames out the exhaust but the old valves burnt out very quickly. A couple of good sniffs then into the petrol tank and away you went!!

Yeah I tell you what comparing the Daewoo to a Micra is like chalk and cheese. No wonder Daewoo went belly up.It reminds you of what you would buy in the early 1960s. Learnt to drive in an Austin Lancer in 1963 and feels like I have gone back to that time.First time I gave the Lancer a few revs...

Well I am not sure if I should post a pic but sitting in the garage is a 1994 Daweoo 1.5lt. Bought it for (cough, cough )$800. A genuine 130,000 kl one owner vehicle and inside /out in very good nick.Wifes transport until we go in 10weeks time. No oil on the garage floor/ motor in good...

Being a plastic man from way back the trick is to prepare the surface properly. Agree with jaxx approach. Most important to lightly sand paper the surface so you get a good "key".I would also do a light sand between the coats of primer. Go have a browse through a Spotlight store. They have all...

Nice. Clear side blinkers as well. Wifes favourite colour. Let me know if it for sale say in 2 years time.

Rattles and squeeks drive me nuts but engine noise ( health ones of course) and a good sounding exhaust note is music.

"Micra Mike" thats you. I reckon you have enough bits and pieces to knock up a 3rd. Micra.Good for you.The force is strong.

The only reason my guys are tracked is that some of the tenders we have with various city councils,Govt.Departments want "proof" that the work has been done. Sad world is it not. You will find all major transport, parcel delivery, council waste collection vehicles etc are all tracked.Makes sense...

Me? No way.Never be a friend /mate/ fan of any politian from any party. All the same.You know the most common profession in politics is the law. I think that says something. All double speak with forked tongue.Core promises, non core promises etc etc. The teflon brigade.. nothing sticks.

Well not hard to find sand dunes in Perth. The whole place is one big sandpit. I do a bit of bush bashing re my work tracking down my crews to see if they are on the job or just sleeping. Gee I tell you what modern technology is good. Have GPS devices fitted to all my work vehicles and I can sit...

Thanks Mike. You have cheered me up no end. Time to take a valium and go see the Simpsons movie.

Life is tough at the moment. No Micra sitting in the garage which means no more driving pleasures at the moment. Mike now having all the fun. Nothing to fiddle around with on weekends and the company dual cab Toyota does nothing for me. In fact I have mega withdrawl problems.Still can look...

Do it!!You will like the new air induction sounds and will breath some new like in that 300,000 kl Micra.

I may be wrong but from memory Hack was fitted with N13 front discs and rotors and was a straight bolt on. Perfect. When I did White Knight was not an exact fit. Bought from wreckers so think was from a later model (N14) and was not exact swap and had to use washers. Maybe some diff between...

Throw the lot away and fit a cold air intake with a decent pod filter sitting up the front of the car somewhere. That way you get some gains, engine breathes easier and I have never had a problem with the throttle body. I did do the resolder job anyway as a precaution.

Very fuuny fred. Well I will sure keep you entertained with "postcards from Vietnam". I will send you plenty of interesting pics for sure. Yes plenty of time now to scheme /plan my next car.I see there is now a Porsch dealership in Ho Chi Minh City. Sign of the times as a very few get very rich...

Brendon you are probably very close to the truth.

Good on you fred.You have the Micra bug. You naughty boy Mike. Fancy baiting a car salesman.I just hope the K12 comes in a manual and over the next year or two upgraded specs/models come on stream.Maybe a chanch seeing its coming out of Japan and over time this site will see a lot of K12 members...

Good one fred. A Mini Micra. No I think I will wait and see how the K12 is travelling after 2 years in Aussie.Maybe throw a turbo on one or give it a heart transplant with the MR18/20 engine. I can't find any site where anyone has done a turbo job on a K12. Surely by now someone has gone down...

Very funny Mike. Sorry forgot to check the spare.
