2006 nissan micra 1.2s
currently my old mans vw jetta 1.9tdi 2008

ive attached the dealer pic of my car hope you all like i was wondering if this colour is common its a really dark purple almost black in the photos

its a 1.8 dynamic 5 door stilo with full leather standard 17'' fiat alloys kenwood cd player 5 speed manual.

i tried searching on here with regards to OMP BACK BOXES its for £180 quid on ebay.

also any recommendations of what i should do to the car performance/physically but also bearing in mind im a student.

thanks and kind regards

its a 5 door

just kidding

dont really see many 1.8 5 doors, more like 1.6's

personally, it could be quite nippy as its the 1.8, sub 10 second 60?

gsr and induction kit

welcome btw :devil:

 

[5dr1800dynamic]

hi thanks for the comment is the gsr induction kit highly recommended ive read a few posts on here but first time ive heard about them. are they easy to fit and also is this a rare colour

 

[JFL]

i havent seen the colour myself in the flesh so i guess so

not to sure on the fitment of the gsr kit tbh

all i know is how to replace headlight bulbs, thats technical enough for me (espec. on the stilo )

Before you do any mods check with your insurance company first. Even at 21 years old you'll probably get raped by them for doing even simple mods like an induction kit.

I like your car and its colour by the way

thanks 1986uno.... your telling me my passat 1.8t cost me 1946.32 for insurance lol. thats what im thinking ive never seen a stilo in this black/dark purple. any recommendations on lowering which route? springs or the whole lot as there are alot of mix posts on different kits dont know which one and also anyone know the timing/cam belt service intervals? approx cost?

 

[Chas Uno]

£1946.32

I could buy a car and run it for a year for that much money!!! Then again, it helps a lot to be somewhere the other side of 30 and only driving 20 year old Unos

As for your queries, you're best off asking in the Stilo section. That's where the knowledgeable Stilo members hang out

 

[5dr1800dynamic]

uno just a last quick question in your opinion a full service kit and cambelt kit which includes the tensioner all boxed genuine fiat for 125 excluding delivery sound good?

 

[Chas Uno]

I'm not sure to be honest. Where did you get that quote from?

I'd also check out places like www.shop4parts.com, Partco or Eurocarparts and see what prices you get from them. I assume this 'service kit' includes spark plugs, oil/ air filters, cambelt and tensioner (and maybe a fuel filter?) That lot for a Uno £125 sounds expensive, though parts for a Stilo may cost more.

My advice is to shop around and compare prices before deciding or ask in the Stilo section and see what other owners have found.

Best of luck!

Hi :wave:

good choice more of us 5 dooreres needed
have a look here,,

http://www.shop4parts.co.uk/index.cfm?action=catalogue.list

interval is usually 5 years or 72k miles... but i know fiat shortened this period to 40k or 4 years due to high failure rates..

EDIT: beaten to it
