    New year Micra resolutions?

    It is that time of year to reflect on things and plan for the future year.

    Do you guys have any plans for your Micras that you hope to accomplish in 2016? Some mods to do? Perhaps some trips planned? Share your Micra resolutions here.

    My Micra resolution is to get one I mean another one and this time I am going to put that reflective tape like the opp have on the back bumper here in Ontario. Then maybe a strobe light on a switch pointing to the rear and then a LED cannon pointing out the back window not that any of that would have stopped the one that hit me.

    I had resolved to finally find an aftermarket air filter; I finally found ONE at the Partsource on Simcoe Street. Still seems a bit pricy for $25, but I suppose the economies of scale haven't kicked in just yet.

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    I resolve to get my bracket made for the sway bar. Window visors, tint, big brake kit ( BBK ) and with any luck omp steering wheel.
    First on my list is front headlight bulbs as I just had one burn out in this cold snap.
    Oh and work out more quit smoking blah,blah,blah ....

    I resolve to wish harder that the rumour will come true that my little city will get a Nissan dealer. It'd be nice to see more Micras.

    HHHmmm, wash and vacuum the car for the first time?...stiffer front springs that hopefully don't drop the car's height (Anyone know of any?), roof racks.

    $12. 81 $CAD at RockAuto for the Versa air filter, same part. $2.64 for the correct Fram oil filter.
    A few more items, and the 10-11 $CAD shipping is more than covered. Likely no pst if shipped to your door, BC anyway.
    Great company to deal with.

    Or $16.50 from a Canadian company...here
    They've been great to deal with as well.
