get your creative juices flowing you guys!!!! i want some help...

for some years - i've always admired the K12 March, (aka micra)

often people who "modify" them tend to go the tuner look... big wheels, bodykit, coilovers etc...

last night i was thinking what if someone took the Micra... and ... just on the cheap... made it a rockabilly themed rat rot

with THIS theme

shouldn't be too hard... just - satin black paint. moondisc hubcaps, red rim, white wall tyres..

reason i was thinking of this was because - the VW beetle often lends it's styling to this modification platform

but the beetle is:

old

dangerous

unsafe

dodgy

no electronic features

not fun to own

micra has "bubbly" styling to it's appeal much like a beetle... only difference is... micra has airbags and seatbelts that work and brakes that work etc... micra would look great as a rat rod... so can you guys get creative? help me out? i'm trying to convince a friend to do this :down:

nice work.

you definitely have skills man...

now. can you do a bit more work for me? shouldn't take too long...

can you black the rusted hood... remove the roof stuff (if you want you don't have to)

BUT i would LOVE it if you could add MOAR CHROME!!!!

ie - chrome the window surrounds, Bpillars, also put a chrome strip along the "bump" below where the door meets the windows... you know the one...

sorry to ask but you have just come SO CLOSE to perfection... i think 5 minutes more work and you will have it, man...

the orig chop is great... you have a serious talent for this!!!

new beetle fails.....its a golf with more bulk and a bigger price tag. +its all back to front

and ill have to disagree. ill own beetles all my life before contemplating a weezy FWD ugly ass micra. beetles can be low, angry, and very stable ( for a 30+ yr old car) its called style, all old cars have it. micras dont. lol. funny pics tho, id laugh if i saw one

im pretty sure dangerous and unsafe fall in the same category. mine is a hell of alot of fun to own. no maintenance ( a lawn mower is more complicated) light, and when lowered, similar to a go cart to drive. and i have no idea where you got dodgy from, check out nissans/dattos of the same age (old GTR excluded of coarse).

personal vendetta against ze germans?

zey killed my family :)

hahaha

but yes - all your above points are correct. i can't think of any other car that can break down in an emergency lane, hae the owner pull the engine out with a spanner and replace the engine on the side of the road and drive off :happy:

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
