@@the_mintiest_micra Your height is determined by adjusting the spring. Can’t shorten or lengthen the damper like other coilovers. Its fine what you did, as long as theres preload on the spring. If you wanted to raise the car, your spring might rattle. Thats where the helper spring comes in.
Thanks mate, I know that the 16's are massive for the car. I've tried to make the car more drivable in the next video, but I'll look into getting smaller wheels👍
Great channel, you explained very easy and make a lot of part by yourself! I want to ask you an advice, do you remove OVRV connection from motor to air box in a standard motor? (Clean and fresh air, instead of recycled dirt air) but i think that create a random pressure inside airbox..what do you all think? Thank you from an Italian follower😂
@ALEXDe83-l9v Thank you! The intake set up is temporary as I'll be setting up piping for the turbo soon. I don’t know if it makes much difference with the open inlet but I'd put a breather filter on the cam cover for sure if you take it off.👍
Long story short, it's one of the first tools I bought when I wanted to try working on cars myself. 8mm spanner used to bleed the brakes on a 2003 Dacia 1310🤣
I know they're massive but they fill the arch very well without having the car absolutely slammed and it's fairly driveable. (Let's not talk about the fact that at full lock steering the tyres rub on the chassis) I'll look into it.🤣😬
You took out the helper spring. Thats to keep the main spring seated when your damper is at full droop.
Honestly wasn't too sure what I was doing, did a bit of research now so I'll go back and put them back in, thank you👍🤣

"Precisely machined spacer" that made my day, thanks :D
Haha, happy to hear mate👍🤣
I'd get 14s or 15s for the wheels it'll look neater with an old rim style and a thicker tire, but thats just me, great build either way

@@the_mintiest_micra Totally your choice pal, I just meant it'll be slightly more comfy 😁
3:15 That's proper, don't f.. this up face 😂 really like that concept much more entertaining than someone working on mclaren with setup for thousands.
This is one cool Micra 👍
Far from finished too😏👍
Currently fitting mk1 golf coilovers to mine

for the rears just buy bc springs individually probably work out cheaper than making new rear arms
I've ended up swapping out the Corsa rear springs for something else. You'll see in the next video, the car is a bit more drivable now🤣👍
whats with the rusty spanner dangling under the car lol, also great job on this

will this pass MOT?
Guess we'll have to wait and see, I assume that as long as it isn't super super low and there isn't an imbalance in the dampening, it should do so.👍
🚗👍👍👍

get rid of the 16's pls
Agree, needs 13's, 14's at the max.

I'll look into it.🤣😬
