1993 Nissan Micra 1.3 Super S |
|
|
|
| Bought from E-Bay for the princely sum of
£161.00 Came with bald tyres, handbrake not working on one wheel, dropped drivers door, squeaking tailgate, flat spare tyre, dull paintwork, choked air filter, dirty engine oil, little or no anti-freeze, loose battery, loose fan belt and a heap of other problems |
 |
Fitted 14" 'minilite' style wheels with 185/65/14 tyres, replaced the rear shock absorbers with gas shocks. Re-hung the drivers door with new hinge pins, . Drained and refilled the cooling system with the correct coolant mix. Reset the odometer to zero and performed a thorough service. Washed the whole car, engine included. Compounded, T-Cut and waxed the exterior. |

the little beastie now runs really nice and
seems to be doing about 38/45 mpg - it might be a little better as the
wheel size may be making the speedo/mileometer read low - checks to come.
A few items have since been dealt with, a drag start from a set of lights toasted the clutch, and a 2nd hand radiator cured an annoying 'borderline' overheating problem when driving at speed.

Its not a bad car, and handles the curves really well - suprising a lot of other 'boy racers' with its handling. The fuel consumption is around 40mpg, and apart from a few niggles with doorlocks and a pesky misfire it developed a while ago - Its proved to be a sweet little car |
