Too rich for me. Bought a pair of year old Recaros out of a Suzuki off eBay for £100 - so will attach subframes.
Thanks for the response. These must be something really special!!
Don't know if anyone might be interested but these seem like a bargain. For sale on ebay under item # 190111607773 are a number of sets of front K11 shockers. They are made in Japan and are gas filled. Might even be Kyaba.
Price £45 per pair plus £15 postage.
I am very interested in this. We have a project on at the moment for "Twocers" in conjunction with the local Traffic Fuzz and this would be ideal. There's space in the workshop as we've just cleared out all the old rally cars and the 911!
Pmail me ASAP!
If they're suitable for a 1.0 litre I'll have one for £35 inc postage. Deal? It's needed pronto as I have to send two units off for remanufacturing ASAP. They are for Miss Daisy off on the Mongol Rally July. Can pay PayPal.
I already have one!

Uprated springs - standard height?**
Washer bottle top?
N/S door (3 dr '96)?
*I believe that the K11 has the same size bearings as a particular Mercedes - does anyone know...
Attention to detail reduces the chances of not getting there and is far less expensive than the consequences!
Fordy thanks for that. We'll look into it next week. It's good to pick up tips from you guys! The supplementary airbox will be home (workshop) made.
Spotted the comments about potential K11's vulnerabilities! We have mapped out the route re. octane rating and it is just a matter of adding the right amount of octane booster. Nissan Technical were helpful and did not consider that a lower compression ratio h/g was required. The car does...
We paid £215 for Team Miss Daisy's K11 - a 42,000 (genuine) mile slightly tatty example. Sailed through MOT.
There are plenty about at that sort of money though slightly higher mileage. Of course it depends where you are. We shall be making up templates for the tank and sump guard and also...
