Hi, welcome to the club, it's not just performance modifications that add to your insurance premiums. If you declare your mods like you are supposed to then a lot of body mods increase the premium too, especially expensive mods like alloy wheels. Some insurance companies won't insure a young...

They connected the battery up the wrong way round?? Has it run at all since that happened? I'm not an electronics man but I know that the sort of damage that CAN cause is exepensive. Depending on the wiring of the Micra it could easily have blown all the fuses, it could have fried your ECU I...

Just one of those things. The material they are made of can breakdown over time due to changes in temperature or whatever, the o-rings then become brittle and crack, losing their seal.

Thanks for the comments :) This morning I cleaned the engine bay. I didn't take any parts off to clean, I just cleaned them in situ, which was a pain, and doesn't get the parts properly clean, but to be honest it's good enough for me at the moment. There is still lots to be cleaned in the...

certainly sounds like a pipe has split or come off or a core plug has come out due to the speed of which the water is pouring out...all I can suggest is keep pouring water in until you can see where the water is leaking from, if it's coming out that fast it must be a noticeable leak?

OK, basically when you floor any car FWD, RWD or AWD, the back end on all of them drops down, the front end kicks up and you are away. On very high bhp models, this syndrome is increased, add even higher hp and big fat sticky tyres into the mix then it becomes out of control. If you accelerate...

:( Mate, I feel for you, When I used to go to college I used to park my car as close as I could to the college, it was opposite St Davids school in Wrexham, the little $£**%' kids from that school keyed my car to death. It was about 8 years ago but I worked really hard on that car to get it...

haha nice one, that wheel tyre set up at the front looks fantastic! At that level no-body cares what it looks like, as long as you are pulling 11s in a micra then it's always brilliant!!! Out of interest, is it street legal anymore or are those tyres illegal now? Are you running a 'wheelie'...

Thanks Paul, I am ridiculously drunk so no doubt my efforts will look horrendous in the morning, but you've inspired me to photoshop my options! Red Wheels: Black Wheels: Ems Idea: The Black Wheels I've done look very matt in the photoshop I've done, I would make them shinier...

Noxon: Cheers, I quite like them, I didn't buy the car based on the seats, but I think I was lucky with them :) There a bit manky at the moment but tomorrow I'm gonna try and find time to clean the fabric up a bit on them. Ems: Cheers, will let you know how long they stay that way! But like I...

OK Sammo, here is a pic of the Nissan fuel filter (on the right) and the universal one (on the left...obviously!): And here is the nissan imitation that I have put on: Was gonna take it off to take a photo but was running short on time and couldn't be bothered in the end lol, it's...

haha. Just thought I'd better point out that the one I've put on today is NOT a Nissan branded part, but it IS designed specifically for the K10 and looks identical to the proper Nissan part (except it doesn't say nissan on it and the plastic is less see-thru)...the universal one was an entirely...

Yeah I was quite suprised that it did the job...I was intending to clean out the carb, as I thought it was probably summat to do with that, but I knew it wasn't the correct fuel filter on the car and knew that I wouldn't put my full effort into the carb if in the back of mind there was a...

Cheers Sammo. Finally got the engine running smoothly today by replacing the universal fuel filter with a proper fuel filter. The rubber piping that connects the metal fuel line to the bottom of the plastic fuel filter was very weak and snapped when I pulled the filter off. I found a similar...

Ah right, will have a look at that then. Cheers :)

I checked the sunroof and scuttle panel, no water came in, also used a hose on the door and window seals, still no water, I've searched the car as thoroughly as I know how and the only way I can find any water getting in is from underneath and only through factory holes, so I will plug them up...

Remember that the scum don't care about the car so they can just rip the parts off and worry about the fittings later..even if the parts are too damaged they've still lost nothing. Just read on that same forum that one lad had his alloy oil cap stolen whilst he was sat at the rear of his own...

Looks like you had great weather for it :) I'll be at Modified Nationals, JAE and the JapShow Finale. Absolute *%$&£'s!! The Scum of this nation never cease to amaze me. I was at York Raceway last year, it was hot and I was in my mates Efini RX-7, it's running big hp so gets very hot so we...

Buy a bit of cheap sunstrip: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-BLACK-SUNSTRIP-FOR-ALL-CARS_W0QQitemZ250101578332QQcategoryZ36677QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and cut it to shape. Depending on what your bodywork skills are like, a more pro-looking version can be made by cutting some brows...

lol nutters. Thats just outside Moscow, some of the craziest driving on a public road I've ever seen.
