Today I greased Eddie's brakes in an attempt to kill him. It didn't work, I should have probably covered more areas than just the backs of his brake pads. Still, at least his brake squealing has stopped. We also put new smaller wheel nuts on, as his old ones (the same as what I use) weren't...

So, I'm pushing for Cassie's removal. I guess it's good that I need it gone ASAP, otherwise I'd be feeling sad that my OG car was getting taken away. There's nothing left on the car at all that I want, except for the wheels and bonnet hinges, I've left those on so it can easily be transported...

About time to clean up the engine swap mess. I dragged the CG10 to the back of the garage and onto a pallet. It's heavy. I decided to take the taillights that I had pre-packed out, just to display them on my shelving. And decided to start taking off some final parts from Cassie... Got a little...

Early next morning we set off. So early that we were alone on the roads. We went and got some fuel from a 24/7 card-only station. It was a very long but somewhat uneventful ride there. Somewhere around 240 miles I think, but our trip counters differed because of our wheel radius difference...

Right! Back in the UK. There's no time to waste! Some stuff had arrived while I was gone. The bottom two I had sent ASAP while I was away, the top one is for a later mod. The engine was pretty gross from the swap, so I cleaned it up a bit, and swapped over my new bolts for the cam cover. Looks...

Hey. I used the CGA3 ECU. Apparently the CG10 ECU underfuels under load. You can use it though. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Now for those K11 photos, because after all, this is Ryan's Micra Blog. On the road trip with the NCF friend, we spotted a heavily modified rat-style preface. Too bad I couldn't get a photo. There was this first-face at the NCF HQ. Second-face headlights, with the indicators desaturated, some...

My holiday became a lot more complicated due to a small disaster, hence no updates until now. So, picking up from where I left off. Oh, and there will be a K11 after this post, to keep it valid. I just had to use a different post as I'm limited to 30 pictures. (I couldn't use all of them!) So...

So are you using the right reverse light as a fog light? I'd be surprised if those are T10, that would be too small, you sure they aren't T20? My lights are. When you say the bulb goes white, do you mean the red coating comes off? Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Your fogs use T10 bulbs? Can I see what they're going into? Assuming it's a reflector housing with a lens, I guess the best option after a regular T10 would be one of those new COB LEDs. Not the cheapest but they're bright, work alright in a reflector usually, and can be red. I don't know if the...

It sure is. And they sure do. Especially when you fiddle with the lights and make them extra nice. I made the sidelights yellow, added side markers where the JDM indicators would be and gave it two extra tail lights (inner ones are tail/fog on a dual filament) Sent from my F8331 using Micra...

I'm going to be going a little off-topic for a bit, because it's N13 time. Annoying when you park your car so far away, you have to take a 2-3 hour flight and like a 4 hour journey by car to get to it. We'll see how well it does in the annual inspection, it seems to be just as we left it, other...

That would be amazing! I at least intend to clean it fairly thoroughly in the few hours I have after I get home before I leave. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

We can have our own award at JAE: "Most deceiving paint finish". I have pretty high hopes of winning. Should get a scratchy trophy for it. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Nice build! Following. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

I'll be there, and I can't wait for it. Don't be too dissapointed when you see how the previous owner "cleaned" it with wire wool, you don't see it in the photos. All the scratches for that matter, I'll try to hide them under some thick wax though. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club...

I've been inspired by MCM only having one day to do mods! Yesterday before I left I hastily added some touch-up paint that arrived a few days ago to the bonnet and mirrors. So when I get home I have a few hours to tidy up the paint, thoroughly clean the oil and grease from all over outside and...

I just wrote a lot on this post and then lost it all so this post might lack a bit of text. Of course, it was hot and sunny all week, and today, but yesterday it poured down as we did the engine swap. Of course I needed backup, and I know just the person. His car is angry at me for some reason...

Oh sorry I didn't see your post. They're 155/55 I think. Extra stiff for that handling edge as I blast through the Maccas drive-thru. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

A photo. Out of the oven, ready to go. Bootleg Nismo cap screwed on but not tightened as that makes the logo misalign. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app
