Trig

There was a detailed article on the exact differences floating about... :study:

Ah that is a classic that I always forget to do... :evil:

How come it's white now and red before? Are you going back to white?

Looks more like a car to me.. ;) Looking good mate! :)

Looks like a good day out to me, F3 race looks cool - wish I was a little more local. :(

Yep very gratefull for all opinions :)

Yeh that is a sad picture, just looks like one severely miffed Corrado... :(

LOL - should have done a search it seems! :lol: Judging by the number of us who now have girlfriends/wives that want one maybe it's time to rename the forum.... 'Corrado & Figaro Forum' anyone?! :lol: Agree entirely with Jim's point, my gf isn't interested in performance she just wants some thing fairly reliable with a bit of characer and individuality. Jim my missus currently drives a Ford Ka as well... err... are they the same person?! :)

Yes a Max power'd one really would be a sight to behold.. She's going to have a drive of my C to see what it's like (quite different from her current Ford Ka will be the answer I think!). Man it would be cool if she decides she wants a valver! PMSL at your description gaz! Thanks for the dealership loaction Musicman, we wont be looking to buy for a few months and the whole import thing looks like a good idea (cheaper, known history etc.) and that'll take a month or two i'd imagine.... definately need to drive a couple before making any decisions..! scarlett, thanks for a female opinion! I know it's based on a Micra but you'd hardly guess would you!? :lol: I'm starting to like it quite a bit actually, still rather she got a C though! :)

Blimmin 'eck, looks like posting here was a good idea! I'll speak to Laura and get back to you Campbell0240, thanks a lot. :)

Bizarely I think this happened to me the other day. Hasn't happened since so I thought I imagined it but it was exactly as you describe...

Thanks for all the comments & links guys muchos appreciated. :thumbleft:

Yeh she does just want something to tootle around in and really isn't concerned with performance as such. Really she just wants to put a long scalf on and the roof down then drive from village to village with oversized sunglasses on! :lol: double-6s, bad fashion statement if you're a bloke maybe but can't you see why girls are attracted to them?

LOL Good plan Dave, might give that a go! She's never had a go before...

Wow, really dividing opinion on this one! Thanks Blue_Joe! By the looks of things they are expensive because they are rare, less than 1000 imported....

Cheers for that article Rodders, just what I was looking for! Pretty much what I was thinking, just wondering if his assessment comes from looking at one picture or actually driving the car. Pickard1, totally agree mate.

PhatVR6, have you driven one then?

Thanks for the replies guys. I did read somewhere they are all autos Rodders, 3 speed I believe so they ain't gonna be breaking any records! Pickard1, didn't get a chance to say hello to your missus, was she at the RR? Good tips mate we'll have a look out for that stuff. I also read about the whole import thing making it hard to track its early history etc. Pink is cool but I think she wants a beige one.

Ok, borderline Off Topic I know but it is still a car! My girlfriend has decided she wants one of these... Done a little bit of research and I gather they were made in the early 90s and are based on a Mk1 Micra. They pretty much all seem to come with electric windows, aircon, leather seats, cd etc. Look nice and quaint, all the looks of a 50s speeder but modern stuff thrown in. The only come in 1litre turbo flavour kicking out around 75bhp. So what do you guys think? I know nothing about Nissans at all apart from I learnt to drive in a micra and it was ok. Anyone know anything about this model of car? I gather they are fairly popular with celebs etc. Any advice appreciated. :) I know it's a bit gimicky etc. but it's what she wants, just want to make sure it wont be a nightmare!

Well maybe your rear is set to low and is making the front look high, got a pic? Other option is fitting spring lowering caps to the front which will drop you another 10-15mm.

Are the dampners red or yellow? As Supercharged says middle clip on the rear for even height should be right. If the kit is new it probably will drop a little more but we're talking 5-10mm...

Good luck dude, it's nice to set yourself challenges in life! :)

Thanks guys, really feel like i'm getting there with the car now! Feels so much more 'sorted' after the OBD2. :) I want to sort out my brakes next but am probably going to wait until i've got NickVR6's speedlines new wheels first so I can fit 312mm discs. ;)

Fronts aren't height adjustable. Only the rears using the notches you describe.

Ok here's a nice shot of my engine bay with the OBD2 manifold which I spent hours polishing a few months ago..! I've taken off the plastic engine cover, yet to find out what difference this will make to the noise of the engine - i'm thinking about painting it black and putting it back on though. Also a pic of what it looked like before so you can appreciate the difference!
