Jolfa Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 In Australia/Hilux/camper news, bed is amongst the comfiest beds ever, just not a deal of headroom. And I'm stuck in a little place called Walpole in the south west while the car gets a new front crank oil seal and cambelt (may aswell while they're there) after it dropped all its oil on the car park of a very picturesque treetop walk place 20km away. f**king lucky given that we were about 250km from any proper town a couple of days ago!

HippY Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yesterday I washed the car in the lorry yard, proper hot foam and water for free, she was a beauty Drove home, it was sunny, sunroof open, music blasting proper fun but got a £10 FM transmitter off a local shop, and it works but really weak. I will look for a 12V plug at the rear , but if there is non then I pry it open, study it then boost the signal somehow, not too worried there This morning I started the car, the oil lamp flashed for a brief moment, then the car did not start, but there was no signals... Took out the key, waited 30s, and it started. Then the fuel was low (thanks mum!) and I needed to go and fuel it, so I am late to work I will go home, and check the oil. if it is not at the top, ill be pretty angry, as I topped it up last week. Also it is a cheap oil (20W-40 or something) so next weekend we will change the oil for a proper one and the oil filter. And no matter how hard you tried to convince me, I will change the rims over time, for a nice white one. Not sure about lowering though, as the car looks okay, and can be driven everywhere, and I do intend to drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Corsas are known for burning oil when they reach a higher mileage. Or before if not looked after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Replacing the numberplate on my race car. Got some jobs to do, like it has a blown CV boot and the sunroof leaks, but not a fat lot of money to spend. Pretty happy with it haha.

Haz Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm pretty excited about this. Had the coilies for ages now, but have been waiting on the hubs before it all goes on. Will be fitting them Easter weekend. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 No joke if you need any bits I'll be breaking one of my Micras in the near future.Sunroof seal (the foam glass one but also the inner would be good if you have it) and the heater fan resister card if your fan control works? Mine only works on 4 (so fans are on full or off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Both heater fans in mine work spot on, so I'll whiz the card out of mine when I no longer need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ace cheers, apparently they can be fixed but only as a temporary thing.Both though? Mine has got 4 I think... It's got 4 vents in the dash anyway. How much do you want for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got 4 vents in the dash anyway. How much do you want for it? Both as in they each work in both cars £20? I know they're a fortune from Nissan/Factors so it seems fair Are you wanting the solely the card or motor too? If it's the card I'd do it for postage cost, no use to me Edited March 22, 2015 by SamKidney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'd be buying a complete, ready built, all the work done car. Why waste loads of money doing something you can already buy completed for less than the cost of a reliable conversion? Gone completely off the MX5 idea now - I'm after something a little more outrageous/quarter life crisis. I really want a Skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Busy week ahead Current Micra is to be welded, despite the mammoth task it may be. Remainder of interior to be ripped out and all steam cleaned. Second Micra to have its welding finished with a view of both being ready for MOT late this week/early next week. Tyres to order, both to service and a CV joint to fit to one of them too. Machine polish and wax, source and fit new door locks and ignition barrel. Plan is to sell one and keep the other, and I may have acquired a 3rd.. Edited March 23, 2015 by SamKidney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I want to have a badge panel like the turbo, but they are like hens teeth/sell very quickly. Does anybody know of a similar sized vent that I could use that is cheaply available from another car/from something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
