Hello ladies and gents!  After the monsteras fail sheet on my corsas MOT which made the car no longer financially liable, I decided to weigh the poor girl in and see what I could pick up on flea-bay for next to nothing, which was as local to me as possible and that was as cheap as cheap as possible on insurance AAANNND this is what I got!...      It's a 1998 Nissan Micra on an R reg, it's got just under 80K miles with part service history, 11 months MOT, 4 months tax, all solid AND £15 petrol in the tank! I got all this for £420, I picked it up on Wednesday from a place called Waplode which wasn't to far from me at all, Needless to say I'm a very happy chappy  It dose only have one small blemish and that is a small set of dents in the bonet as pictured here:  Here are the sweet rims   It has a pretty clean interior:   Now the ma-hooosive Power-plant!!!!  Phwaaaaar! 998ccs of 16 valve twincam POWER! All the pics so far are from the eBay ad, I'll get some of my own when I get the chance, I have no real plans for it or any direction in which I wanna go with it, my intentions are to quite simply enjoy it All comments welcome! Cheers! Luke |

Remove the wheeltrims and get it a bit lower One of my favourite small cars - good choice mate! Thanks bud! Yeah I think I might, I've looked in to lowering it and it seems to be a bit of a ball-ache, I've seen some on corsa coils, that one for sale with cut rear springs and all the coil over kits are a fortune so, I dunno what to do?? All suggestions welcome! Haha Thanks for the comment |

Alright guys!? I finally had a small tinker with my little micra yesterday, here's what happened, I hope you like! ... First this was acquired for the dashboard...  Then after a quick clean it looked like this...  Then this happened...  Then dad had a go...  This is what came off...  The result (unsettled)...  The back needs to come down a bit more IMO, sorry for the poor quality ipod pics, ill try and getvsome better pics when I get the chance cheers Luke |

Painting the sills red again will make it look lower, and loose the rubbing strips. Those sound like sweet ideas, I might just do that! Cheees mate Luke |

Alright guys? Just a quick question, I've read on the web about people fitting nissan pulsar running gear on micras, I was wondering if any of you lovely people had any idea as to what can actually be used from a pulsar on a micra?(if anything) And if there is a high amount of modification I'd have to make to my micra to make parts fit?(if any modification at all?) Thanks guys! All comments appreciated Luke |
