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:

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
