Project Tic Tac

Yeah I know a former member had a Micra called Tic Tac but I did end up buying the wreck last year and some of Tic Tac's parts are in my car so I am going to make claim on the name!

Finally got off my ass and put the suspension goodies and wheels on this weekend. Even gave her a polish. Shiny :)

nice!!!

That's gorgeous, spot on in my eyes.

Wow, that looks brand new!! Nice ride!

what can i say....yummy....

Smooth! :)

This is perfect, great looking march. May I ask where you got the TEIN coilovers from? I thought they stopped producing them a while ago.

Great looking Micra, not over the top. Just nice and clean, good choice of rim size, etc. :-)

I bought the TEINs from GTRholic early last year and I have taken this long to put them on. The handling of the car is superb now without compromising too much comfort. Probably needs stickier tyres now.



The idea is to be nicely understated, I aren't even going to colour code handles or mod the grille. The only visible thing now will be black tint. Doing a Bad Boy bonnet is a possibility. I have a set of 16" ANZ Rio's but may sell them and stay with the 15s. The tyres only just scrub going into a hard fast corner. Not sure if I'll roll the guards or not.

Looks great!

Couple of questions. What size tyres are you using and do the coilovers go much lower? :)

Tyres are 195/50/15 but they really should be 195/45/15 to be most correct rolling diameter.

The front coil overs can drop much lower around 60-80mm more I guess. The rears could go down the height of a locking nut so I reckon only about 10mm more at the most. Depending on the angle you look at the car you could argue that the front is a tad low. Some 10mm wheel spacers at the rear would pump 'em out noicely too I reckon.

Please don`t badboy this beauty. Looks smooth as is.. ;)

Maybe just clear side repeaters to go with all your other clear lights. You realy should switch to 195/45/15 tyres of decent rubber and adjust the front height just a little, then your rubbing issue should go away without haveing to alter the arches. Looks better too.. :)

Scored some nice genuine never used floor mats on eBay too, so my apologies to the dude I out bidded !

Agreed - personally I don't think it would suit the car, but it's up to you :)

Nice score with the floor mats. I scored some K12 mats a while back and while they are a little bit bigger, they're still quite a reasonable fit :) I've got originals in my other one and they're a little worn on the rubber bit.. ah well!

Jury is out on the bad boy, I will see how much the crystal lights improve the look. Any body mods like that are definately post putting in the forged engine from WK.

Excelent!

That would be me, No hard feelings. ;)
